What a nice surprise: WINM has a freshened-up front page with lots of nice new thingies, like a highly useful snippet about dinosaurs. I believe I see a cunningly hidden meaning here, in that those movie critics who don't "get" Our Man tend to be people who are slow, bloated (ego-wise) and dumb, or fast (as in "I can write this review in 30 seconds!"), vicious and ... dumb.

I like the Flash "fishtank", too. I just wish there was some sort of clever way for us to shoot them. Yup, shooting fish. It's actually quite popular in some parts of Norway. The hunters (fishermen?) shoot bass (a type of fish with sharp, pointy teeth and an ugly demeanour) with rifles. I have a friend whose father and brother are keen fishooters. Maybe they could teach us something useful?

Oh, and look: Here's another fish tank: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1eL1hjOrE4

Thanks! :D

...but actually the dinosaurs are just there because dinosaurs are awesome. Yeah. No hidden meaning. And some dinosaurs are fast and really, really smart! :( Like velociraptors! And pterodactyls eat fish...

The fishtank was LucaM's idea, so she gets credit for that. :)

I am easily amused today. Sad really how I can sit here and watch the fish chase the mouse pointer around that little square :)

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better than the dinosaur column, you added a fish tank. A fish tank! :D

... There goes any hope I had of getting work done this morning...

Oh come on... it's just fish!

I narrowed the whole site for the benefit of smaller screens (my laptop has a fairly wide screen and is therefore not good for designing sites on). The whole page should be able to fit onto your screen in terms of width; if it still can't, let me know and tell me your screen resolution.

There might be a bunch of formatting bugs around as a result of the change. I've found and fixed a few, but if there are any more, let me know. :)

I was hoping the fish would explode if you clicked *on* them, but no. I guess I tried the wrong ammo. Maybe I should try insults instead?

insults don't work.
but you can try rewriting the code instead.

actually... this being WINM, I'd like to be able to shoot the fish. or make them sushi.

anyone here savvy enough to tweak that gadget? :D

hahaha a fish got stuck in a corner. :\\ It sort of went there on its own and it took a while to get it to move, mostly by dropping lots of food there such that the other fish all crowded up in there.

...i need a life. :(

Sorry, Anakin, but you're expressively forbidden to have a life. People who have a life are real crappy at maintaining websites. I know coz' I used to have a website. And much later, a blog. And even later, co-admin rights to a website about one of my hobbies: sighthound coursing. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time. But I do have bouts of pretty intense activity on forums that are related to my interests and hobbies - and right now WINM is suffering the effects.

But anyways, having a life just gets in the way of more important things. Life must, therefore, yield. That's how it is.

I wouldn't dare to touch Ludlow, not even with my neighbour's remote-controlled fork. If such a thing even exists. ;-)
