I got the bare framework of the new site up today -- nothing interactive 
works, so I disabled all the links for that. (Which is practically 
everything.) The site is entirely style-sheet driven, so if you hate the 
way it looks, hang in there; there'll be a new black-on-white stylesheet 
available as soon as I can get to it. There's a nice links page up so far.

I've still got to .pdf "Left Behind," but as soon as I do I'll put it up. 
After that I'll probably .pdf the NPR columns I did and put those up as 
well. Unless there's some noticeable demand I'll only make essays and 
stories and such available as .pdf. (I will also e-mail copies of the .pdf 
files to kithrup.com -- if I end up with storage issues, kithrup has 
offered to store large images and so forth for me, which I appreciate.)

I'd forgotten what terrible HTML Frontpage created. I'd written a bunch of 
.asp pages that I was happy with, but nothing as far as look-and-feel until 
a few days ago -- I prototyped the way the site would look in Frontpage. 
Then I went in to build stylesheets (.css files) to automate the production 
of future pages, and had to tear up the frontpage-created pages to remove 
all local formatting -- my God, that HTML was bad. I wouldn't hold mine up 
as a style to emulate, but at least you can read it.

I do like "Left Behind." I'm sorry I never got a response on it from 
Asimov's -- in 20 years that's never happened to me before.

Left Behind: A Tale of the Continuing Time

She was not famous then, in 2485. This was after she was taken from 
Eastersea, but before she met P'Rythan November, or the Destroyer of 
Worlds; it was even before Mister Dreadful escaped Eastersea and met Picky 
Jim. It was before all of that.

Ola Blue was twenty-two years old, and a night face, when Shelomin 
Serendip, the Director of United Earth Intelligence, sent her to Gillen.

Certainly no one in Gillen System had ever heard of her -- only a few 
people in Gillen System had even heard of Shelomin Serendip, and she had 
been Director of UEI for almost fifty years. For most of those fifty years 
Gillen System had not received much traffic or news from the rest of the 
Continuing Time; they had been at war that long.

...

I'll go install Distiller and get this up.
