[ 2007-11-07 Note:  Major color changes made again.  See near
  bottom of this page new hex colors, but I am back to a gray page.
  This gray's rgb is  192 192 192. ]


[ 2007-10-11 Note:  This page is an explanatory adjunct entry, and
  therefore is not a homepage in the traditional sense.  The core page
  (entry) for this site is p00260jlctr (Journal Links Center or site map),
  and will always be so.  However, this page is important, and should
  be read by each visitor to Sprintedon Hollow.  Thank you. ]


[ 2007-10-13 Note:  Sprintedon Hollow is a nonchronological record
  of my life as a writer.  Despite being 66, if I live long enough to find
  out, I may be in the early stages of my writer life.  Although I engage
  reality at every turn, many works of mine are dreamscapes: that is,
  they are dream-like escapes from reality.  In some ways I am like
  W. S. Landor / John Clare / E. A. Robinson; but perhaps my dis-
  closing this is not wise, so whispers the chameleon in me. ]


[ 2007-10-21 Note:  You cannot count on my always using the same
  colors.  It is PM 7:28.  The present color codes are near the bottom
  of this page. ]

[ 2007-10-22 Note:  So, the gray background I wrote about earlier
  this month has been replaced by 8080c0, which is a purpled gray. ]


10-09-2007
With one thing leading to another, to another, to another, to another,
to another with an intermingling of personal troubles, this has been a
valuable but difficult day.  Long have I considered October to be the
month of changes, and with this page/ this day becomes a preeminent
day of change for this blog.  It is PM 8:05, so "Good evening."  I am
Brian A J Salchert.  Why I am is an absolute mystery to me, but why
the background of this page is rgb 128 128 128 gray--a shade that
is exactly midway between black and white--is not; but more about
that later.  To the left of this blog is an "All About Me" sidebar.  I've
not been happy with it for some while, but I am not going to remove
it.  However, much of what is there will be transferred to here, and a
link to here will be placed on it.  The link color for this blog is aqua
(or cyan, if you prefer).  Several links relating to me or to this blog
will be inserted into this page.  You will know by the information I
present in each/ where it will whip you to.  If you have not/ figured
it out, I am an INFP: uncertainty is my milieu, creativity my passion,
andpersistence my compass.  Nonetheless, I am such a failed being
I recently began calling myself:
the ghost in the dumpster.


See the green period.  That is my sense of humor, which comes from
the 1/4 English in me.  The other 3/4's are German, with a who-won-
the-war wisp of French.  I pronounce my surname as if it were two
first names: Saul'kurt.  Completing this page is going to take a while.
Where that while is going to be taken is anyone's guess.  Unless they
have changed them, w3c has a palette of 16 acceptable colors.  I do
not like some of their choices.  The color this text is in is not one of
them.  The palette AOL uses is (as I have mentioned elsewhere) IE's
basic colors palette.  The other day I discovered two errors I need to
get to MS tech about.  The color this text is in is not available on that
palette either, but the color this text is in is one of the 216 safe colors.
10-10-2007
Of the 16 w3c colors, 8 are among the so-called safe colors.  There
is, however, a logical reason for this.  255 0 0 is red and 0 0 255 is
blue, but 0 255 0 is not green.  It is a light green.  Equidistant from 
red and blue is 0 128 0, the rgb code for true green, which is not a
"safe" color.  Of the supposedly 48 IE colors, one color is repeated,
being both at R5 C7 and R6 C7.  I have no idea why.  Also, in the
javascript environment of AOL Journals, the color at R3 C5 is not
coded correctly, showing 040080 instead of the correct 004080.
All this is really no big deal, but it is curious.  Not too surprisingly,
there are 8 safe colors in IE's basic colors, the same 8 w3c has.
For more about colors, including w3c's colors, see my math links.
Though I did not expect it, I recently saw that because I use colors
in some of my poems andelsewhere// this gray background best
serves my needs.  Zip to this entry to see.


I am a writer.  Some background facts about me are in the directory
at Poets & Writers.  Over the years I have tended to be reclusive,
a result of which is the presence of 9 completed books of my poems
and 4 others in progress in this journal (weblog / blog / webbed log),
with more expected.  Math, autobio, and other entries are also here. 
On June 22, 2007, in another galaxy in the Internet universe, I began
my Rhodingeedaddee blog.  Its focus is: thoughts on poetry and other  
wonders.  I will not be moving any entry in Sprintedon Hollow to there,
nor will I be placing any of my poems or math delvings there.
