I have just learned from a friend who knows a lot more about HTML code than I, that inadvertently I have made it difficult to View my Source code. He thought that I might be trying to hide some trick! So he sent me an email telling me how to get around my hiding.

Click on "Details" at the bottom of this page for an explanation, as best I understand it.

I prefer the date format: YYYY MMM DD The reason is: When we write numbers the high order digit are always on the left. I feel we should do the same with dates which are nothing more than an expression of the number of days since some (arbitrary) beginning. Furthermore, if we want to be more precise and add the time it is consistent to use: YYYY MMM DD HH:MM:SS and even decimal parts of a second. If we keep time with the slowest to change on the left and the fastest on the right then sorting time becomes no more difficult that sorting any simple number.

You will notice there are no "Images", nothing that wiggles, no fancy back grounds, no photos on the main pages; and there is no advertising. Simply because: they take time to load, usually provide no information. I want the page to load fast and be clearly readable even if viewed on a monochromatic screen or printed in black and white. I don't want long waits or distractions on your screen! But if you want them you chould check out: Dynamic Drive They have all sorts of "cute" but time consuming things.

LaFarr, "Why is your Web Page Yellow?"
It started when I got a new Wet Suit for SCUBA diving. It was a two toned blue "One Piece Body Glove" which had no zippers. It was rather clever design that sort of crisscrossed over the shoulders. Anyway:

It turns out that most people sooner or later discover that they have to pee in their wet suits. But, I was reluctant to do that in my new wet suit. Hence, it seemed that whenever we got out of the water I was looking for a dehydrated rock that was, hopefully, concealed among bigger rocks. I had to pull the thing off my shoulders and slide it all the way down to my knees; and, I am sure you understand, lean against the rock like I was trying to push it into the ocean. Needless to say, my actions did not always go unnoticed; and it got boldly announced, with great hilarity and mirth, that I was "Turning the Ocean Yellow".

Yellow has sort of become my signature. So, my latest wet suit is yellow and black. Rather dapper for an old man, and I like it. I am sure this is more than you ever wanted to know about the color of my web page. Incidentally, I haven't filled up the ocean yet; but, I have made your screen yellow!

Actually, I like yellow because it is produced simply by reducing the intensity of the blue phosphor on your screen; and it takes zero time to download across your modem. And, reducing the blue makes the blue of the Links show up better.
