Books and reading.. the are all good fun and to this end there have been a few subtle changes in cow.
Firstly, read the command called contribute to learn about contributing to some of the existing tomes of knowledge in cow. Your contribution will be valued.
Secondly, if you did not read that carefully enough, the read command will actually read the object and all of its contents - like a book!. Old-timers will remember this as readall - which they can now forget.
Thirdly, wolis has been slowly slowly putting a bit of effort into describing what all of the commands do. "This is a long slow and boring job" moaned wolis "but someones got to do it".
And Forthly, those every so noisy guests have been quietened down even more - they dont show up in the list of logged on players - so quiet you will hardly know they are there.
That is unless your standing in the open field and a swarm of google spiders come crashing in, looking around and examining the training shed! Until this pesky activity can be curbed in some way I strongly advise you dont hang around in the open field for too long.
And lastly, (and technically) while pondering the mean of life, the universe and images on the web, feel free to add images to your creations.. I know link: www.imageshack.us will help you get your images up on the web.. but maybe link: www.flickr.com is a more stable solution.. give it a go.
Just remember, right-click - properties on the image as viewed in the browser to get its direct URL then paste that into your object after the words img:
After all, whats the point of a book with no pictures?
