So why on earth would my blog be a completely featureless black page with a
mono-spaced font, stretching on into infinity?
As is stated briefly at the top of the page, this thing got its start back in
about '97 - many years sooner, depending upon how you look at it. The first
incarnations of this blog would have been first seen on a VT-100 terminal
emulator. If you happened to be sitting in the Agricultural Science Computer
Lab, you might have been using an actual VT-100. Amber screen and all.
In fact, if you go to the very first posts, some of them were rescued from
tricky little terminal control-code animations that some of us were doing to
take advantage of exactly those terminals. I won't go into detail here, I'm
waxing nostalgic more than making any real point.
So today, I briefly switched the entire blog over to amber. I took one look
and swapped it right back. Maybe I'll try again later if I can find a font
that looks a little more deserving than courrier. Until then, you only have
to suffer through it for this one post.
