Virtuality
Somewhere between real life and the virtual world there lies the Jabberwocky. Captured in pictures and held fast by words it is arbitrarily defined as the Beast. To think, though, it would take only the slightest of tweaks, the gentlest movement in language, and the Beast would be no more. It happens that today I am back to work on the internet presence of the dear Jabberwocky, as the country reels from yesterdays royal wedding I’m trying to find a corner of Facebook, centre of operations for the “omg the dress was amaaaaaazing” campaign, to attach to the website. What I meant by my introductory sentence is that without the internet, the great green Beast is nothing more than a van. It is an interesting insight into what the web can do,...
A Practical Guide to doing Everything at Once
Step one: Panic. Step two: Worry about the merits of step one. Step three: Pace the living room. Approx 20 laps. Step four: Tea. Step five: Get some fresh air. Step six: Repeat steps one to three. Step seven: Do something to take mind of steps one and two. Step eight: Observe hands. If shaking, repeat step one. If not, repeat steps two and three. Step nine: Consume high-sugar snacks. Step ten: Check Everything. If present and correct, proceed. If not, begin at step one. I find this to have been the most effective method for dealing with the last three days. Not only that, but without even knowing of my Method, Barny seemed to be executing something almost as good. It lacked the variables found in step 8, and step four featured more heavily, while step nine...
Live, crude and probably best avoided.
…but I’m secretly actually rather proud of it. Come to think of it, that would be an absolutely foul way of describing child birth. With that delightful mental image I would like to announce that http://thejabberwocky.co.uk is finally there for all the world to see! It’s not perfect, it’s certainly not the image I would have people associate with the eventual majestic Jabberwocky itself, but it is a start. Some of the more exciting spelling mistakes have already been brought to my attention, and I’m sure that many more will present themselves in due course, but I stress that this is a rough draft, and that any offence taken is both intended and encouraged. Mostly I wanted to have it live because now I really have to start hammering it...
Webcital
I’m delving into web design. Not the kind where you manage to get Facebook to work, but the grand, .html type of web design that is coded and mystical and altogether repetitive but rather fantastic. For the first time I have crossed over from user to creator, set myself down as GOD of my homepage and, though I say so myself, created something not all together unpleasant. Not that I am brave enough to link it here. Even with a traffic of no-one-at-all that still seems to rash. Besides, there is still time. The website is what will, hopefully, eventually bind the whole web presence together, giving the Jabberwocky a glorious virtual home in which to gyre and gimble. At the moment, it mostly has silly messages about what I intend to full each page with;...
