Sometimes, our little Esther's maybe too smart for her own good.

     In other news, I've signed Terebinth up over at OhNoRobot. It's a search engine for comics: see, you transcribe the dialogue and captions from your comics and send them in to the OhNoRobot database. Then if someone's looking for, say, every occurrence of the word "halcyon" in those comics in the database, that someone would just type the word into the search box, and bingo! Up pops the link.

     So, if you wanna help out, click on back to the 2003 Archive, pick a comic--thanks to DracoDei and Betaalpha, we've got things done up through the first 50 pages or so: to the middle of August, I think it is--and click on the phrase "Transcribe this Comic" at the bottom of the page. A new page will open up, you type in the captions and dialogue from that comic, and click the submit button. It's just that easy, and thanks.

     I've also discovered that the nice people at Livejournal, where I've been posting both my comics for a goodly amount of time now, have one of them fancy RSS feeds. So you can subscribe to it and have links to the latest Terebinth pages delivered right to your virtual doorstep five times a fortnight. The URL to add to your RSS reader--or whatever it is you use--is http://hyniof.livejournal.com/data/rss, and thanks to the guys over in The Webcomic List Forums for making me think about all this. Ah, technology...

     I'll continue reminding you in this space about the comic I'm grinding out for the Daily Grind Webcomics Challenge-- it's called Daily Grind in case you haven't gone over to take a look. If Terebinth is where I unload the poetry rattling around in my cranium, then Daily Grind is where I unleash my inner dime novelist. Maybe even a "penny dreadful" or two whilst I'm about it.

     There's things at the bottom of the page here, too: a link to the Cast Page; a link to the Hey, Your Nose is on Fire Forum, a place to talk about this comic and Daily Grind; and, of course, the Web Counter. It's been counting for more than five years now. Soon it'll be attending pre-school, I assume.

     The Buzzcomix Voting Site is back now, too, and you can vote for Terebinth by clicking here. More comics for your perusal can be found on the Comix Link Page, and I've got an About the Author page up in case you've been wondering.
