    shhhhhhhhhhhh just breaking the site again don't mind me

    very, very, very experimental fic continues its slow progress as the deadline for bicyclette's sci-fi contest draws near. these chapters are about on-par with what if in terms of length, but oh boy have they been an interesting experience to write.

    hey hey btw i've got a (couple of) public minecraft server(s)!

    yeah so anyway here is my webbed site lol. there's an MC Classic server for building whatever, and an MC Beta 1.7.3 server for playing survival. I might eventually also put up a modern vanilla server as well, though given how I'm hosting a bunch of servers already for friends and a couple of discord servers, idk if the little slab of a PC I'm using to host 'em all would be able to manage lol.

    summer break is almost here :V

    basically got one week left lol. got an experimental fic in the works that's a sort-of direct sequel picking off right where Splintershard ended. no prior reading is necessary.

    MAN it's been a while since I've toyed with writing styles.

Idaho is not, in fact, made of potatoes. Even though I DID eat freshly-made chips for dinner at a restaurant yesterday.

Verizon owns Yahoo.

Yahoo uses Bing as its search engine.


I'm really tired right now, so that's all.

Can you explain the point about Yahoo using Bing? I've used both, and I can tell you I very much prefer Bing. The engine, to me, is a bit smarter and the pages load faster.

4478288 A while back, Yahoo signed an agreent with Microsoft to use Bing's search engine tech as a replacement for their own. They've made minor modifications to it since

Interesting. You can be paid to use both, coincidentally.

4478476 Because they both use the Bing engine, which is tied to Microsoft Rewards.

As far as Yahoo's search engine is concerned, I was thinking more about Swagbucks, which is not as closely affiliated with Microsoft Rewards.

What else does Verizon own?

4481448 They also own AOL, which if I remember correctly, owns the tech site Engadget.
