siodhe: Be careful about walking around by the fusebox. The top of the tree may fall of at any time.
El Ratso: Why is that?
siodhe: Do you know a decent icon editor for windows .ico files?
El Ratso: sure. microangelo.
siodhe: Because I sawed most of the way through it.
siodhe: Hair full of woodchips for a while, too. :-)
siodhe: I stopped when the crunches started.
El Ratso: Did you sabotage the tree in an effort to 'off' our racoon?
siodhe: It would be too much to hope that the tree would fall when the racoon was in it.
El Ratso: http://www.impactsoft.com/
siodhe: I'd already downloaded it from a russion site, thanks.
El Ratso: russian?
siodhe: http://www.listsoft.ru:8101/programs/pr437.htm
El Ratso: weird.
siodhe: Isn't it :-)
siodhe: The software works. Yay.
El Ratso: The Win NT 2000 is fully unicode-implemented, so IE5 beta 2000 showed the page using authentic cyrillic characters. It also shows your Zoion page and most chinese/japanese pages correctly.
El Ratso: I can see my house from here!
El Ratso: squirrel.
siodhe: Netscape handles zoion's pages fine, on the greek, but the Russian isn't coming through very well. IE5 is the first IE that handles zoion's decently, and without making lots of little squares like IE4 did on the 1st display of the page.
El Ratso: hamster with a mission.
siodhe: Netscape is noticeably behind just now. Hamster?
El Ratso: It's hard to come up with short statements that are funny because of their out-of-contextness.

El Ratso: ah well.
siodhe: Ice camel polo?
El Ratso: Ok.. anyway, in response to your warning, I will be carefull on that side of the house. Ice camel? Hmm.
El Ratso: It does evoke a very odd image.
