Here it is, the app that will finally make my dream of a fully functional web space a reality. (Except for the part of that dream where other people have to participate. Then again, even if I’m the only one who ever uses it, other people will appreciate it; instead of annoying everyone by forwarding them news stories all day, I’ll just put ‘em here. The world’s bandwidth is saved!)

Anyway, welcome to my copy of SnipSnap, I’m supposed to say. I imagine it will start to look different after I’ve had it a while, but for now I’m still (already?) at the stage where I’m all like, “fuck you, SnipSnap!” and SnipSnap is all like, “Syntax Error. File Not Found. Blue and white color scheme mandatory” and I’m all like, “this sledgehammer through the monitor is mandatory” and so on.

On the plus side, I’ve already said “fuck” in the first post.

Anyway, if you want a piece of this action, give yourself a username and password and log in. Then you can put words on the internet just by typing! Lesson II, pulling quarters out of people’s ears and rodents from hats, will be later in the week.

(Putting __ around a phrase makes it bold and putting ~~ around it makes italics. You can put up links to other sites by just writing the url like http://www.joehodes.com or by using Name. So Joe produces Joe. Or would, if that site existed. To create a link to another page within this site itself, which only I will probably ever need to do, surround a word with [ and ]. )

Finally, heaping helpings of gratitude to Ryan at nopaper.net for motivating me on this, eventually doing the bulk of the work, then doing the rest of the work, then hosting the app on his server to keep jimski.net’s host from crying big, wet, salty tears. I owe you a case of Code Red or something.
