RE: If you got a load outa him..

That's right Davy G, the troublemakers are getting out and about on the web. We are also getting out and about in the areas of film and theatre convergence... We are looking for people to brainstorm some ideas about ways to incorporate and fuse these two mediums. We know that it has done before, in varying ways....but the troublemakers are about doing things in very trite types of ways...not cliched, but just trite. For example, our last show was a two-man comedy show (for which Davy G was tech). Not content to just have two peformers, we titled the show after each performer (ie. Basically the "Whitbourn & Noffs show").

So to conclude...the troublemakers are about trite high-tech theatre/film convergent productions...we are also grabbing our surfboard to try to start riding the new media wave...

hehe spoken like a true script k1dd33

Plenty of people in this web snobbish world wouldn't know what geocities was if it slapped them with a pop-up. I found it easy to forgive their address.

The site looks great and is easily navigable. Best of all it has some original content!

Much of the nifty javascript stuff will be totally lost on anyone not using recent browsers in M$ Windows. But at least the site is still navigable with other browsers on other platforms.

I'm curious to hear more about how the OCC project is going. It looks fascinating and the script has come a long way since i first visited probably a couple of months back.

Cheers
Grant

RE: Str33t Cred

Thanks for your interest Grant.

The OCC script is progressing very slowly. But that is OK, I am in no rush to try to produce it in real life in any hurry. One interesting development is the seeming confusion over whether it is a theatre script or a film script. The most obvious solution is to say, "great,
let's produce it as a convergent piece using film and theatre..." That's certainly the type of production that the troublemakers are interested in.

My question to you is...why haven't you contributed any of the script, or at least submitted a profile? (or maybe you have under a psuedonym...)

I would like to take this opportunity to say that GEOCITIES ROCKS!! It totally kicks ass and
its free, and so very very ultra cool.... why pay for something you can get perfectly good webpages out of for free, with very little amount of nuisance ads??? so J, mind your manners!!
