I'm ridiculously enamored of this snow applet. I don't even know what I'm going to put on this page. Maybe a story, maybe some ramblings. Something to justify putting this really cool thing on my site. For now, I'll just blather about the coolness of the item itself. I got this from spigots.com, a respectable looking site that I took a chance on. I don't usually download stuff from the web without knowing much about the source, but I was really impressed with this website. On the main page are links to all kinds of cool java, um, spigots, I guess. This particular one grabbed my attention. He has a "Snow Wizard" that makes downloading the "class" file (that makes the applet work) stunningly easy. If you decide you want to try it, but are a bit nervous, I recommend making a relatively blank page in Composer or FrontPage first, and making sure you have the image ready that you want to use. (You get to use your own, even! I just borrowed his because it's so damn pretty.) Then just walk through the steps and when you're done, upload them to your site. You have to upload the class file in binary format and make sure you have all the files in the same directory. That's all there is to it.

Anyhow, I think some nice wintry musings need to go here at some point....

For now, go home.
