website done. i have now successfully created an informational website about oreos. this beaut of a website enables the common man to look deep inside himself to find his right way of eating an oreo. i even went so far as to incorporate pictures that simulate a diagram for cookie ingestion. after viewing my page, i am fully aware that it could be deemed sub-par by many standards. however, it is my baby, and i am proud of it. i give myself at least 48 pats on the back for this one.
bravo mike.

apparently i'm not as html illiterate as i intitially anticipated. you see, i'm working on my final project and i'm actually not doing that bad. I found that i can now make basic titles and pargraphs that look half decent. mind you, i said "half" decent. sure, my website may look like it was designed by a 6 year old with no imagination, but as of right now, it's still a working website, which severely helps my track recond.

I guess not only am i bad at playing Interactive Fiction games, i'm terrible at making tham too. Just as i got shut down when i tried to use and unacceptable verb, i get an error report for almost everything i try to code. i'm fairly sure that this proves my theory that i am boarderline computer illiterate.
the only thing that i was successful in doing for my IF game was creating a goat and a frisbee that contributed absolutely nothing to the storyline of my game. I could not make a box. i could not make a door. i hate IF.
somehow i figured out directions, and the use of items, but creating situations to use the items, and places to go has hindered my advancement in IF. It seems like every time i start to get somewhere, i can't do what i want, and have to redo my previous work. this is not a good thing.

yeah, i can't find an interactive fiction game that suites me. From Galetea, to Castle Adventure, to The Golden Wombat of Destiny, their all the same. i alwasy get really excited to do something,and can't. it seems like the people who made the game kept only their entertainment in mind. maybe i don't want to do what you think i should do. and maybe you shouldn't try to confuse me either.
basically, i disliked all of the games that i tried. even games that had a lot to do, like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy one, were not that great. plus, i always die in that one, which doesn't work well with my childish hopes. Perhaps IF games just wern't made for me.

My intro into IF games was not the best. Through Galetea and Phototopia, i pretty much learned what not to type in. I guess i'm not very good with verbs, because nothing seemd to work for me. although interactive fiction may be some peoples "thing", i kind of just frustrates me. what if i don't want to touch the velvet? what if i want to burn the velvet? or discolor the velvet? or neatly fold the velvet? i think i may be a little to curious and impatient for some interactive fiction.
