Little Stalker Boy

July 27, 2003 5:19 PM

Little Stalker Boy is tired, but mostly he's just restless. Little Stalker Boy is outside her house again tonight - hanging in a tree and taking photos as she passes the front window.

I may be the first to say - What the hell?

Huh? Does that web site DO anything? Go anywhere.
I don't get it.

Look around - the links are there.

I really enjoyed that.
This would be Holloway, right?

Yes, that's our very own holloway's site. I also like his comic.

aacheson if your browser is only open at 800x600 res you may not see the link into the site that's in the bottom right hand corner.

Not the worst site ever, in fact quite nice.

This may be the worst site ever.

Always name your files with flare.

I did the site when I was 19 to spook a girl I liked (I'm now 24). We had several weeks of fun after that. My courting techniques have since progressed to name calling and spreading rumours that they smell.

That you made this site to freak out someone you were stalking is scary, and also scary that you had/have that much talent at that age.

I think the world needs to know the rest of the [Graeme Sinclair] story

Full marks for presentation, but final grade way down for content, imo. Would like to see the potential of this used for something a little less cliched than frustrated teenage desire and hostility...

wtf, dg, a single link to a five year old website? [emoticon]

Are we talking about holloway or the internet stalker?

Beautiful design, holloway, and thanks, dg, for posting it.

mecrano01, you had me worried for a minute there - I almost wore Google out trying to find more info on the case, but to no avail. I assumed that the Graeme Sinclair you linked to was not the same one (he doesn't look like a stalker ;-|).

I just checked the logs. No one has found half of the secret files.

If you turned up at NE's abandoned HAMP site then you get a gold star.

Lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Silly, I know I'm silly
Cause I'm hanging in this tree
In the hopes that she will catch a glimpse of me
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she.......?
Lily, my one and only
Love is in my heart and in your eyes
Will she or won't she want him
No one knows for sure
But an officer is knocking at my door
And thru her window shade
I watch her shadow move
I wonder if she could only see me?
And when I'm with her I feel fine
If i could kiss her I wouldn't mind the time it took to find
My lily, my one and only
I can hardly wait till I see her
Oh lily, I know you love me
Cause as they're draggin' me away
I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave (goodbye)

i only found one secret file... the geocities link. i was checking all the links to see if they were showing the truth in the status bar or whether they were mouseover-ed.

Why you dork with my cursor? Don't dork with my cursor.

True that, sageleaf, but it is nevertheless delightfully creepy in a mild-Ringu-meets-Griffin and Sabine kinda way, no? It's s'posed to be dorking w/usability in general, that's what it does.

Excellent! Compelling! Beautiful! ...

Ancient!

Oops.

Translation for non-geeks:

Nick Bantock's Griffin and Sabine series. Beautiful books and innovative concept.

And Ringu is so much better (haunting, disturbing, stays with you) than The Ring.
