well, my pages are back up I feel better, now, dont you? there are some differences between interlink and earthlink, however after uploading my pages & directory structure, I discovered that interlink doesnt allow subdirectories so, I had to go through all my pages and change the links & directory structure so all pages are in the main directory painful, but its done also, there might be some linkrot. if you find any broken links, let me know immediatly and where exactly the breaks are I want to make sure everything works here   anyway, I finally saw an optometrist on wednesday. got a new prescription for my contacts, and I got some medicine for my eyes. the medicine is cool, eyedrops that contain (are you ready?)   STEROIDS!   now I can beat people up with my eyes so since I had that nasty case of pinkeye in december (that lasted the entire month), my contacts didnt allow my eyes to heal fully. hearing the eye doctors reactions when he was examining my eyes was amusing....lots of grunts of disapproval (and maybe shock & horror) he was a nice guy, though. kinda reminded me of a big friendly bear...not that ive met any big friendly bears. he was round but not fat, thick beard, and a good sense of humour. described every step of the examination to me as he did it. kinda informative. plus there was this cool photo of the cross-section of an eyeball. nifty next slide please     November 23rd, 1963 - first episode of Doctor Who premiered on BBC television June 27th, 1997 - I see the last part of the first serial of Doctor Who let me explain; Doctor Who was originally a serial storyline; each main story was told in 25 minute episodes shown weekly, each one (except the final) building up to a cliffhanger to make sure there was an audience next week. The pbs station out here shows the series in that original format; it takes, on average, a month to see a full story. and I got here just as they were starting the series from the beginning. was it good? well it kept my interest for a month. and I did enjoy it. The Doctor started out as a very mean old coot, sadistic almost. but in the final part of this first adventure (An Unearthly Child, or, 1,000,000 BC) he mellowed out a little bit. and I can see why so many people remember the first Doctor, played by the late William Hartnell (not tom baker, dumass) with such high regard. Another thing that i noticed; the console looks damn cool.  if i had a picture of it id put it up.  lots of flashing lights, dials, levers, gauges...on the whole, a shit load more complicated looking than any other console design until '83 when it was packed with computer-like keyboards. heres a picture of that one.         I cant wait until next week, when The Daleks starts. although because a full shot of a Dalek isnt until the second episode, itll be two weeks before I see one, but, oh well.   insert closing statement here   June 27th, 1997
