No, I'm a fucking developer.

20% of the world is real.
80% is gobbledygook we make up inside our own heads.

When I visit my friends and we watch tv together, I don't feel like I'm
borrowing, or being lent anything. Where I come from, it's called
"hanging out".

Yeah, but you are a independent developer, aren't you. Your behaviour
is like independent film makers would consider those big Hollywood
producers as a source of great inspiration and dedication.

Btw. is there supposed to be something else on that site
(www.indiegamedesign.com) than the following:

"This is the placeholder for domain indiegamedesign.com. If you see
this page after uploading site content you probably have not replaced
the index.html file."

Yes, that is true.

At present, no. But I might change it to (ta da!) "Under Construction" as
soon as today. I've accepted that it's now time to properly learn website
publishing for purposes of self-promotion. Tedious and boring though that
will be at first.

When no one else sells courage, supply and demand take hold.

Hope you don't can it because it is tedious and boring at first.

Jeez, Brandon, there is some option that is something like <TEXT> (don't
know what it is exactly) meaning everything after is text. Making a
website requires practically NO skill and you can do it in NotePad.

Why don't you finish that Python project or make a collection of your
usenet observations or a graphic mockup of your Ocean Mars concept or
whatever, then people who click on your link will see *something*.
Otherwise, leave the URL to itself until you have something there.
