WARNING! SHAMELESS PLUG! WARNING

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER! Steve Kenson has a web page!

I just wanted to let everyone on the list know that my web page, "Kenson's
Cranial Collection," is finally up and working. It's named after my 'zine from
the Scrawls from the Sprawls APA (and features a few things I wrote for the
'zine originally). It's not nearly as nice-looking or clever as the pages of
most of the listmembers that I've seen, but it does provide a decent overview
of my game-writing work, a few game articles (mostly Shadowrun, natch), an
excerpt from Technobabel (along with a chapter from my unpublished SR novel
Crossroads) and a few other bits.

Feel free to drop by and check it out.

Oh, the URL? It's http://members.aol.com/talonmail/kcc.html

Have fun,
Steve

Oops, looks like you have the same cut and paste problems I do. :)

The real URL is http://members.aol.com/~talonmail/kcc.html .

Lots of good stuff, and the 1st chapter of Steve's latest book looks
to be some good stuff.

You sure, chummer? Both URL's seemed to work fine here.
Must be one of those AOLoddities.

You right! I swear it didn't work before when I wrote that e-mail.

Sorry, Steve, I guess you don't make mistakes. :)

they both do work just fine ... Steve K., if you get a chance to do so, please
email me privately about your website. You -might- find it important, I
promise (no shameless plugs)

It's nothing of the sort... the tilde character (~) indicates "Use this
user's home directory". Obviously, AOL sets or points the users WWW
directory into the WWW base, so that either method works fine. Actually, a
lot of WWW servers are doing this now, what with virtual folder mapping and
so forth.

OK, a slight URL change for my website (apologies to folks who have already
set up links). Several folks have been educating me about HTML and Web
protocols, so the URL is now:

http://members.aol.com/talonmail

That should take you to the index page.

Have fun!
Steve
