on the web


All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    Welcome!  
  

 

It has been said that the web is a triumph of form over content. The Internet equivalent of television. The medium designed for people with five second attention spans. Well, anything that can hold my attention only for five seconds, I don't want to see in the first place. My browser is w3m/lynx; I only start Netscape when I have to. I don't have a burning desire to click on everything I see. And so, these are my web pages.

An attempt to create a triumph of content over form, if you will.

Graphics are sparse. Text is common. Links are present only when they add something to the content. All images have ALT tags. The pages are designed for whatever browser you care to use (if something looks odd in your browser, please feel free to let me know and I'll see if I can fix it). And somewhere herein, I hope, is something that will capture your attention for more than five seconds.

Update: I have abandoned this website and will not be adding any updates. When there are things to add, they happen too fast, or else there's little to add anyway. You're free to look anyway.

Welcome.

 

In the endeavour to achieve a victory of content, I need all the time in this world for this alone and so, please bear with me till I have that. It also implies, the pages below and the links within this small nook will be in a perennial state of updates.
