TriadCity Message of the Day
2001-07-06
The client-side code has been reorganized in preparation for
the next round of Really Cool Stuff. This was a pretty hefty
re-structuring, but -- but -- nothing should change from
players' points of view except the URL to the applet. This
means your bookmarks will break, but, hopefully, nothing else.
Naturally if you find things misbehaving, please let us know
asap. Thanks!

"In 1455, Gutenberg invented the printing press -- but not the book as we know it. Books printed before 1501 are called incunabula; the word is derived from the Latin for swaddling clothes and is used to indicate that these books are the work of a technology still in its infancy. It took fifty years of experimentation and more to establish such conventions as legible typefaces and proof sheet corrections; page numbering and paragraphing; and title pages, prefaces, and chapter divisions, which together made the published book a coherent means of communication. The garish videogames and tangled Web sites of the current digital environment are part of a similar period of technical evolution, part of a similar struggle for the conventions of coherent communication. Now, in the incunabular days of the narrative computer, we can see how twentieth-century novels, films and plays have been steadily pushing against the boundaries of linear storytelling." — Janet H. Murray, Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace (info )
