Tad Williams' Message Board

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies -- 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.'
-    Kurt Vonnegut, 1922-2007

Welcome to the message board for tadwilliams.com. All comments are welcome, whether kudos or brickbats. However, please bear in mind that Tad would like this to be a friendly, civil message board, at least in the relations between users. We reserve the right to remove postings, or even ban postings, from anyone who crosses the boundary of reasonable taste. Basically, you can argue vigorously with someone, but watch your language, okay? We have a lot of young readers as well as grown-ups, so please show them some respect.

But the main requirement here is: have fun.

Never been very good at that.

Good evening my dear. :)

I am mentally worn out ... but other than that ... doing okay.

Hmm ... it seems I wandered into some winter silliness tonight?

(Don't ask how I know it is winter way down in the depths of the earth *cough cough*)

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

I miss the days when it wasn't assumed everyone had a super-fast internet connection.

It'd be nice if sites at least offered a dial-up option.

I guess I'll head out, too, maybe read a little bit before bed.

Thanks for the silliness help-along.

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

I've struggled with that in the past too - and given up.

All CMSs are horrible.
Some of them seem less horrible for a while, but in the end, they're all horrible.
I've recently come to the conclusion, that the best CMS, is one you write yourself, specifically for the purpose for which you need it.


..and then one day you find, ten years have got behind you,
no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun..

Re: [QM] Deeper and deeper we delve....

Yeah, well I didn't get a choice. And the site I have to make isn't all that special either, so I guess Joomla will do.
