Old posts here from 1998 – 2003. Frankly, I’m too lazy to sort them, and I don’t think anyone cares, really.

Guestbook From Hell

Posted on by Eric Brooks

I know, you wanna kill me for The Guestbook from Hell, right??? What part, the fact that it’s always down on the server, or the endless questions that don’t print?

….well, I solved one of your problems…

The reason that you kept getting error messages was because Yer’s Trooly, kept tampering with the CGI Script…well NO MORE. I fixed it and I’m leaving it alone…(At least until I learn how to configure the sendmail program…then you’ll all be thanked by mail right after you place your entry)

Hey, gimme a break! I never had a CGI-BIN before!

Okay…you beat it out of me…if you don’t want to go through the torture of the Guestbook from Hell you can go to The Guestbook from Heaven….you get there eventually through the Hell one…

Well, after four days it seems ICOM (My Web Host) has finally fixed the bug in my website, and I’m open for business…despite this one problem, they really are excellent. At least they spelled “Erox Graphix” right. If you want a laugh, you can check out the website that SPDI tried to set up for me at www.eroxgrafix.com …

Anyone who has read my soapbox or has spent even a 1/2 hour with me knows what a nut I am about correct spelling…it seems these guys didn’t read the order form correctly and filed for a domain for eroxgrafix.com. I complained, they promised they would change it. When it turned out that interNIC wouldn’t do it for free, they basically expected me to live with their mistake….

Uh uh. No way. Services weren’t rendered as far as I’m concerned.

Now I’m working with professionals that have the same work ethic that I do. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.

Anyone interested on more information on being hosted by my web host can write to

web_host@ericbrooks.com .

Cuz boys, girls, and future webdesigners…the object lesson of the day is:

“The customer is always right“

Did you know that when you click on my “enter” button at the Font site, the whole page lights up? Or the buttons on main2 light up when you run your mouse over it?

Well, chances are, if you are using a 3.0 browser, you’ll never see it. In fact, depending on which browser you use, you’re missing a lot of great stuff. That’s why the biggest names on the internet are joining forces at www.webstandards.org. It’s time that Internet Explorer and Netscape but aside their silly differences in their “Browser Wars” and adopt a standard that browsers, designers and internet users can all use and live with.

www.eroxgraphix.com launched. But don’t worry, the Xoom, Tripod and Geocities sites are still alive and well! Just wanted a private site to be taken seriously as a professional (would you hire someone to set up a website, when they didn’t have one themselves?)
