2:10pm Experimenting with new wallpaper for Netscape 2.0 users only. Aiming for a more "conservative" look for the site versus the more flamboyant, blue-bikini clad Madoka. What do you all think? Send me some email of your opinion at rk@ucsee.eecs.berkeley.edu

2/6/96

10:00am KOR tip of the week If the background wallpaper is slowing you down (takes 15K to load) or the vast expanse of blueness is making you sick, you can disable it using netscape. Go to the OPTIONS menu and click the COLORS tab. Look for the 'Background' field and click the 'Custom' radio button. Last, checkmark the entry labeled 'Always Use My Colors, Overiding Document' and there you have it! A much faster KOR-browsing session for all!

2/3/96

6:22pm Both George's and Capricious KOR sites located at ghost.cc.cmu.edu locations are down. Could be due to a server malfunction. Subsequently, all the sub-links under those sites won't work! Thanks to Brandon for alerting me to their problems.

2/3/95

3:00pm The meaning behind the Giant Blue or RED balls:
They represent the main link or site. Below this would be indented sub-links which would refer to specific info the user would want to access quickly and not waste time roaming about the main general site trying to find it. The only exception to this would be the Shin-KOR headings which refer to multiple sources of the novel instead.

2/2/96

11:33pm
Finished adding [Chapter A8: Inception] to my HardKor Page Saga.

1/29/96
