Anne is no longer working on the site due to personal reasons and the entire
site is now being updated by Bob. He has added the new front and is updating
the pages himself.

the intro animation looks a bit odd on my machine as it dosent load the
image fully before refreshing to the next page

I must differ on this point.  There is an attenuated series of portals • which
although pretty buries the real "matter" of the site.  Further, the first
page portal seems to have one of those scripts which bombs the back • button
(at least in IE).  I hate that, good design never takes options away from
the browser.

Just a note on the "Back button" thing.  "http://go.to/carneycastle" is
using the V3 free web-redirection service to point to their page, so when
their IP changes, they can just update the number at V3, and the address
"go.to/carneycastle" stays the same.  Therefore, when you go to
"go.to/carneycastle", you are automatically forwarded to the REAL web page
(currently located at http://24.182.214.100/).  When you hit "Back", the
back button works fine, it just goes back to "http://go.to/carneycastle",
which again automatically forwards you to their web page.

So, don't blame Anne Sullivan for that one, it's just the free service • they
are using isn't the greatest.  Anyway, I will agree that the opening • portal
pages seem quite strange with the rest of the site, I don't remember them
from the last time I was there (only a couple months ago).

Either way, I must say his stuff is GREAT!  I'm jealous just looking at • the
tubs of pieces in the BACKGROUND of the picture, and that doesn't touch • upon
the castles themselves!  I'm almost glad to read he takes them apart, as • if
he had enough parts to keep a few of those big ones together at the same • time?!

(...) I agree...it loads very slowly. The picture(s) could probably be reduced to about 50-80 KB without much loss in quality, especially if reduced from the original photos. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@bldesign.org www.bldesign.org (23 years ago, 24-Oct-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.ancient)
