Bye bye Geocities and thanks for playing host to my rhinos
As of tomorrow the host of my rhino website will be no more. Yahoo's Geocities will be packing its bags and leaving the Internet. This means that my website will no longer be available until I make some revisions and find a new host. It's not like I even, prior to tonight, had looked at in ages. But I always knew that it was there and now it won't be. I'm not going to even post a link to my site as it will be gone by tomorrow, so no point... This summer when I heard Geocities was closing, I immediately saved my html files. Tonight (yes, I know it's the last minute) I went to my yahoo file manager and saved all the pictures that I had stored there. The pictures that I used for my website were all there, so I will have to store them elsewhere and then change all of that in my code. It seems like a lot of work. That's why I haven't done it yet. Anyway, in my file manager, I found this picture. It is not included in my website, but I must have contemplated using it in some way. I'm sure I've posted it in blogs of yore, but I will post it again now. It has obviously been doctored in Photoshop and I quite like the effect. Unfortunately it was scanned with my old scanner that was full of scratches and you can see some of them here.
I don't have much else to say and my fingers are not in the mood for typing, so I will just close with a "goodnight."

I do like this picture and I'm sorry you have to go to all the work of changing websites. Bummer.
ah things change. web sites have to move. yes, everything changes and new ways for things to be a pain are created everyday. Hope the wite move goes smoothly and you find a new home for your rhinos very soon. i heart this picture. the photoshop effect is quite effective. I am admiring my new rhino now. he is on my desk next to rubber chicken. they make an odd but fun pair they do.
