Sun 2007 May 13
Errr... a dropped semi-colon in a program I wrote to maintain link & meta information in HTML headers (nothing the average browser would care about) caused many unintended linefeeds to occur in the web pages, which resulted in some unintended display errors. Most have been fixed, with the exception of many unintended line-feeds in song lyrics, which are being brought under control one at a time (which is how life works).
Added to Radical Incline today:
God and Pot — Defining evil, sin, and iniquity, for the sake of discussion

I've re-designed hundreds of pages to allow for a better print-out, should you choose to use dead trees. These are not separate print-out pages, but each page designed to format differently on screen and in print. (Other media formats to follow in time, for those who need them.) Print-outs will now (usually) take up less paper than the equivalent screen display. Onscreen links and some other material will be missing from the print versions, and some of the print versions will have information (e.g. web addresses printed out) that are not seen onscreen. The printouts have only been tested on a 8.5" * 11" portrait-oriented page, with the browser set for a tight .2cm margin all around, and no headers or footers. If you use other settings, your results may vary. Fully tested with the O pera and Internet Explorer browsers. Full testing on others yet to come. There are problems. On songs, the "page-break-avoid" attribute which keeps a verse of a song confined to a single printed page doesn't work on IE, a known bug. Most pages work as intended in IE. I only found one other failure with IE, and there are a couple of glitches with Opera. If you spot problems, write the webmaster@mindfulwebworks.com .

2007 Mar 17

Once upon a time I was a customer of CompuServe, a protected electronic preserve well before the wilds of the Internet became popular. As Internet popularity increased, CompuServe brought its customers net service with all the alacrity of Red China embracing free markets and religious liberty. Seemed forever before we could email outside the confines of CompuServe. Eventually, rather than do the intelligent thing and morph into an Internet Service Provider, CompuServe created its own ISP, called Sprynet. Thus it was that http://home.sprynet.com/~mindful/ was the first home of Mindful Webworks online. Reluctantly, but eventually, I dropped CompuServe. Sprynet got eaten by MindSpring (no relation) and MindSpring got gobbled up by Earthlink, which at this writing is still the gobbler and nobody else's gobblee yet. For a long time, Mindful Webworks were a subordinate folder at http://www.us75.com/mindful/. Without any direct links from the site's home page. MW became wandering, lost. Evicted by us75.com/, the Mindful Webworks became a squatter at another available website that us75.com/ had with CableOne, its latest and most cumbersome address, http://myweb.cableone.net/us75com/home.html.

Now, at last, after eleven years online, Mindul has its domain, as of 2007-March-17. Material will be coming online shortly. Watch this space. Until we get completely transferred to this new domain, the old Mindful website is still available for your perusal.
