kinda growly at this point.had to unsub a good friend from
one of my lists,kinda a downer.
Anyhoo,i have had some really good moments this morning.
today is my birthday.Dah bear is now 43.not a bad number.neither young or old.good old middle age.the middle
passage.try not to think about men who die in their forties.
their tickers go,prostate cancer,the flaws that flesh is heir
to.good ole grim reaper.going home or just disappearing . . .
Cheery,aren't i?not at my best before breakfast,cookies,snickers fun bars,better than nada,definately better than that.anyway,some of you all may
actually like diaries,find them interesting,maybe that's why
you are here,reading these rambles.
who knows,some force in the universe is pushing the keys down
on my keyboard,maybe it has something to do with me.

'tis time,i imagine for another snickers fun size bar,my favorite medicine*G*.yum! two f.s. bars seem to be the right
dosage to lift my descending migraine and growliness waiting
in the wings.
RANT
the new accessibility guidelines for webmasters do NOT mention
the mental
health of the reader and/or webmaster as an accessibility issue.Many bipolars
reading my home page in its
earliest stages could not find my guestbook link,because,at that point i only had text links,not graphical links in
addition,as i do now.The whole issue of impatient,stressed-out,or in crisis
surfers or webmasters is not addressed at all.Different levels of
literacy,dyslexia(sp?),and a whole
host of other concerns are not
addressed.The document is
cumbersome,guilt-laden,OCD to ridiculous
extremes,and generally made me furious.This is info was in my latest HTML
Writers Guild Newletter.I generally find their newsletters
boring,confusing,definately not user friendly.I haven't tried
any of their
courses,etc.There is a strong urge for me to just
take my dollies and go
home,but other forces tell me there is
a good reason for me to stay.Feedback
would be real nice.Email
me or sign my guestbook,there are text links for
both below.
Yeah,i should put graphical links for
that stuff on every blasted
page,but if you click on the graphic for home you will
see graphics for the
guestbook.Tip for the impatient surfer of
this site:my guestbook splash page
(with the adorable pic of my
kitty,Wally Wu)has links to the entire site.
It loads considerably faster than the home page.Outta here!
Take care,
Beary
Accessibility Project Update
sunday,may 30,1999 8:43pm(EDT) el barrio
Bear here.
I am trying to make this site as accessible as i can.
I put in text links to the home page on the twenty-four pages
that are not the home page itself.Yes,there are now twenty-five pages to this site,which started four months ago today.
Whew!Everyone have some cyber birthday cake!Now i am linked
to over 30 web rings.Some large.Some small.Some dormant.I
have put in other text links to hopefully have fewer dead ends.I have tried to make this site interesting,yada,yada,yada.Next accessibility project will
be to put graphical links to the guestbook splash page on many
of the pages.Trying to not just rant about access,but do my
little part.My promotional efforts seem to be paying off.The
counters however were driving me bonkers so i took them off.
Click-Thru Network and The Worm-Hole Project are doing the
counting for me privately.Thanks again to Self-Promotion.Com
who got me started in getting the word out far and wide.
Blessings to all,
