3 new comics up! Huzzah!

I have no idea how far behind I am... I'm afraid to work it out...

Updated some other parts of my page, too.

I _will_ update my site within a week. I promise. Whether it's new comics or just an aesthetic improvement, I dunno. But I'm going to update _something_.

Well, I was going to make some new comics this morning...
then work jumped up and hit me in the face.
So it may take me a few days longer to update. Why does this always happen?

<DT updates, the universe explodes>
Yes, I finally have made a new comic! Hoolay...
The death of BasketBall Man is close at hand. Any guesses for who's next? I'll remind you of the remaining RMs:
Edit Man
Fountain Man
UnixTerminal Man

'course, a comic wasn't _only_ what I wanted to put up there. I've got heaps of stuff to work on, including:
- A 'Nostalgia' page with all my previous comics, why I stopped them, what was going to happen had I continued them.
- A Java Counter. Only problem is, I don't know if it could write to files on beyonder's computer (to keep track of what number it's supposed to be). I guess I'll have to ask him.
- Some sort of Java comic viewer, so people don't need to use the archive pages.
- Changing all the 'DarkT Software' s to 'Result 27 Software' s. What? I asked for any ideas, and no-one gave me any... or gave me anything sensible, anyways.

Oh, and do some more work on Hangman, too. I have done _some_ but not a lot.

yeah...u can write to files on my comp(not everwhere tho...try to stay in ur directory.....), but why would u use java (mainly a client side script) to write a counter(which needs to be a server side script)...

jsp=JavaServer Pages... http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/ ..also to write to files on the server you need something running on the server....be it another applet(servlet) or, if you kno how to use mySQL queries you could write to a db w/ a pw, but to have a client side script write directly to files on a server = bad. for obvious reasons......how exactly were u planning to write this applet anyway?

I can/am complain! ...That's not right, but that's beyond the point! I liked DT Software, or DTX or something. Result DT? CDSIA?

o....*mutter* now i gotta go make the server recognize what to do w/ class files....*/mutter*

Riiiight...

The CLASS file is downloaded by the browser.
The browser runs the CLASS file's applet methods in its local JVM.
The server merely provides the CLASS file. It doesn't have to recognise it.
