The Stunt

Well, then, my children.

I imagine a few of you have prepared Things for today.

So here's what we're going to do.

First:

You post your Thing on your LiveJournal.

You might want one of these when you do -- the STRANGE MACHINE Stamp:

mangled link

[mckenzee]

Apple Mail didn't do plain text like I expected.

Could you add a caret before the href for Ouroboros, Inc.?

It just looks so messy now.

I re-sent it, because I resented it. Please delete the first one at your leisure.

Bloody brilliant. Thanks for this.

You are not alone,

Plain text? Something without an advert at the end? Like ‘do you yahoo?’ Or something that doesn't send everything html? I’m not technologically advanced. Forgive me?

[janestarz]

Most free mail services make up the message in html. Usually (like in the cases of hotmail and yahoo), this means you can alter the colours of the background and font, and add smilies.
Sometimes there's an option to send it as plain text. No mark-ups in the text, but mostly, still with the add "do you yahoo" at the bottom.

I'm blessed with a leet boyfriend who has a linux-server and several domains.

So if I select to send in plain text, is it ok to have the do you yahoo junk at the end or do I need to hunt down a friend to email it in for me?

[janestarz]

If you wish it, I can send it for you, if the adds bother you. A lot of stories coming online right now (at strange machines.com), and a lot of them have faulty URLs in there or adds at the bottom. I think mine was one of the first faultless ones.
My mail is janestarz at janestarz.com if you're interested.

For people who have spent the last week thinking about the future, most of us seem to have a lot of trouble figuring out the present...
