all_existing_red_blathes pralines&cream blather.newdream.net/red/a for all blathes beginning with "a" blather.newdream.net/red/b for all blathes beginning with "b" and so on... This works for blue blather as well, as long as you take out the "/red" in the url. Wow. Many of you may know about this, but i just discovered it today. 020125 ... pilgrim Cool! ,And no I had no idea, I basically just log on point and click. An Ignorant user, Like someone who drives a car, but doesn't know how to check the oil, or change a flat. 020403 ... silentbob i did know this. i also noticed, however, sometimes it doesn't work. it will sometimes just go to a random word beginning with that letter. i think H was the letter i tried. 020403 ... pralines&cream Hmmm, very strange. I discovered that on red, H is the only letter that does that. On blue, H and I. I am currently attempting to figure this out. 020403 ... pralines&cream H goes to home I goes to index but why???? argh 020403 ... birdmad those words act as command triggers of a sort,,,the other one on blue that does this is "default" so long as no one blathes this word on red the "index of ...red/d" should remain intact 020403 ... lulie This works with all addy's, especially those long ones with a lot of slashes. Just swipe off after the slash and see where you end up. 020403 ... e_o_i Ah! Interesting (replies e_o_i 20 years later). Browsing the a-list with breakfast. Now I see, more than I did before, why complete_index_of_h was made. 220715 ... raze for years it mystified me that we could see the i and d indexes here but not on blue. it took me a long time to figure out why. meanwhile, some 'skites had already solved the mystery twenty years ago! turns out the m index is also inaccessible on blue (it redirects to the "main" blathe). i've never understood why this happens. it must be a quirk of blather's architecture. when there's a catastrophic blather_crash, those connections are broken, and what's normally buried bubbles up out of the blue_and_red earth for an hour or two. i think that was how user_24 was able to compile blathes to stand in for some of those hidden lists in the long-ago times. there are also the ancient index_of_d and index_of_i blathes he made, in case those avenues were ever lost to us. we haven't had any serious technical hiccups in a while now (knock on laptop screen), so i had to comb through twenty_one years of red blathes one day at a time to track down everything that started with the letter h. i might have missed a few. but i think i caught most of them. it's a lot easier now that the backbone is there. all i need to do is keep track of new h blathes as they're created and add them to the complete_index_of_h every month or two. i like waiting until there's a batch of twenty, for whatever reason. i've always done most of my navigating through the "recent" and "who" pages, but i know some people prefer to take an index (or indexx)-based approach to exploring blather. i hoped it might be useful to have an easy way to see all the h blathes in one place. as long as no one creates blathes for those *other* magic words, we'll always be able to see a list of everything else that's here. fingers crossed... 220715 what's it to you? who go blather from
