I\u2019ve now finished doing that.<\/p>\r\n<p>In the process, I also organized things a little better, added some material that wasn\u2019t there before (including my 2004 story \u201cThe Last of the Zeppelins\u201d and my 1990 story \u201cAll Through the Night\u201d), and set up my 3D-graphics-in-VRML pages to let people see and play with the 3D models right there in a web browser.<\/p>\r\n<p>All very pleasing. The site is still a little chaotic, and arguably I should remove the \u201cHodgepodge\u201d page and instead put stuff in the site menu. But for now, the site is far more usable and coherent than it\u2019s been for at least the past six years, and maybe ever.<\/p>\r\n<p>I\u2019ll provide a couple of links below. But first, a couple more notes:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>A lot of this material is stuff that I wrote in the 1990s and posted because of the old adage \u201cI didn\u2019t know what to do with it, so I put it on the web.\u201d Some of that material is still kinda fun and\/or interesting, but a lot of it is very dated, and is only provided as a historical curiosity. I may eventually take some of that stuff down\u2014for example, I probably don\u2019t need to keep hosting half a dozen pages that I wrote about specific \u201cforward this to everyone you know\u201d chain letters from the 1990s.<\/li>\r\n  <li>The two erotica stories are, of course, NSFW. So are a couple of other pieces. But I think everything is clearly enough marked to not be a surprise.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Various software\/web tools (such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/logos\/things\/aplusb\/aplusb.html\">\u201cA + B = Awesome\u201d Pitchbot<\/a>) are not yet integrated into the WordPress site.<\/li>\r\n  <li>There\u2019s still work to be done on various parts of the site; for example, the situation-puzzles section still needs a lot of work.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>A couple of specific links to examples of things I\u2019ve now posted:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/hodgepodge\/code\/3d-graphics-in-vrml\/\">top-level VRML page<\/a>; the sub-pages include 3D models that you can view in your web browser.<\/li>\r\n  <li>Three \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/hodgepodge\/tall-tales\/\">Tall Tales<\/a>\u201d that I wrote and posted in the alt.callahans Usenet newsgroup in the 1990s.<\/li>\r\n  <li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/hodgepodge\/\">Hodgepodge page<\/a>, which includes both of the above sets of pages as well a few dozen other works of fiction, verse, code, nonfiction, math, and more.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,28,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal","category-short-stories","category-software"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20775"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20775\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20776,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20775\/revisions\/20776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
