eBay-related links

If you've found your way here, chances are that you know how active I am on eBay, and in particular on their Comics Chat board (I also occasionally post on the Threaded Board, and I contributed to our FAQ). You may also know that I'm a computer professional, so I've done a fair amount of Perl scripting and HTML hacking and all that... here are some of the results.
Been There, Done That!
Been to a con, lately? They're fun, both for the comics and the people! I've been thrilled to meet fellow Boarders (and buy comics and stuff) at various and sundry cons; this year I'm planning to attend...

Negs and Neutrals
Even the best of us have a couple "glitches" in our feedback - and the worst of us have a lot! This tool lets you see them, and lets you see what a user has said about others.

Sure, you probably know how to do colored fonts, but do you know what they'll look like on a black background? How about on a grey or white background?

The ellegon 4k Pool
On Aug 8, 2001, we celebrated the birth of ellegon's son, David Thomas Wood, whose arrival was greatly anticipated by all participants in the baby pool! (The "4k" part refers to the fact that it's Ted and Deb's 4th kid, but also harkens back to The Buster44 4000 Pool of August 1999.)
