sangiro 26 #33 October 4, 2002 Quote how about that for info? Hehehe! I've been burned at the stake many times! The Skydive Ring certainly was controversial. I guess it was my first attempt at trying to make the point that I'm not here to please everyone and I'm holding Dropzone.com to high standards. There would be no point now in that approach to a webring for Dropzone.com anymore. Then, half my site was defined by the Skydive Ring! Craig Poxon now regularly posts here and although I still haven't met him I'm hoping he won't kick me in the nuts when he sees me. (Do a search in rec.skydiving for "sangiro porch"!) Darin Ninness who's page is linked from Craig's actually wrote me a while ago and we had a good laugh. We we're all much more full of shit in 1997. I trust Darin will forgive me for posting part of our e-mail exchange here below. The best trashings I've ever received can still be found right here in these forums... just look for it! Hehehehe! The best way avoid criticism is to say nothing, do nothing and be nothing. Quote ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ninness, Darin" To: Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 4:03 PM Subject: Question about your site backend Sangrio Just a quick question about how DropZone.com runs. I notice its using Perl, but is it custom written, or is that a package? Reason I ask is that I've been working on a site for a year now that we need to get more well managed, and we've been looking at "content management" packages and tearing our hair out. DropZone.com has such a nice, simple, easy to use interface that I had to ask. :) Thanks, keep up the good work.

I had the same troubles as you to find a CMS that will serve my purposes... I still have that problem..... Now before I let you on your merry way, just to make sure..... this is the same Darin Ninness who once had an entire page on his site to tell the world what an ass I am and busted my balls on rec.skydiving.... right? In Africa we have a saying: "Elephants never forget" :-) http://web.archive.org/web/19990128204307/http://www.rust.net/~dninness/skydive/bullshit.html Glad you like Dropzone.com now.

You got me on that one. Lets just say that I don't have such as wild hair up my ass any more. Jeez, that was about 3 years ago.. (and, as you may notice, that page is GONE. Well, so is my whole site, but the one that replaced it didn't feature anything quite so negative.) You have quite the memory. FYI, I like Dropzone.com. You've done a great job. It looks great, and its VERY usable. I'll go back to eating my humble pie. Keep 'em safe! Darin D-19617 Safe swoops Sangiro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to bump this, but I'm not much of a Talk-Back guy and only found this recently after a narcissistic search. Never kicked anyone in the nuts in my life so you've got no worries Willem. More likely to buy you a beer but looks like I've missed my chance in this country. Oh well, I'm sure it will happen at a dropzone somewhere, someday.
