I haven't been able to update too much in the past few days mostly because:
1) School (early for us... bummer)
2)A recent obsession with Final Fantacy 7
3)A recent obsession with Quake 3 Arena
4)Band
For the updates of my page, I'm remaking some of my unit pictures with the new Brood War green that only appears in the Desert and the Winter tileset. OK, thats all for now.
-Tony The Mad
3:54 PM EST 8-6-99
I finished my Zerg Buildings section, theres just a few bugs (not major ones) that I still have to fix. But other than that, its good to look at. It coordinates with my Units section. Anyway, go check it out!
-Tony The Mad
7:55 PM EST 8-5-99
Well, I started on the Zerg Buildings section. It looks pretty good (I figured out a more eficient way to make transparent backrounds in Photoshop). I also have a bunch of info in there. Go look at it here. More to come later, maybe even tonight. So check back later. Oh yea, and Snowcone is working on a cool thing with RealBasic. Its like a strategy guide, but I don't know if he'll just let everyone play with it so far because its not done yet. But so far its really cool!
-Tony The Mad
4:50 PM EST 8-4-99
OK, I got the Zerg units section up, so thats about it. Next I'll make a Buildings section. Thats all I have to say now cuz I haven't played Starcraft in several days and I'm starting to go into withdrawel. Bye!
-Tony The Mad
5:34 PM EST 8-2-99
I'm working on the Protoss Units section now. I have the Infantry and Robotic units up so far. I'll have the Air Units up later tonight, but I have to get ready to go somewhere now. Sheez, still no mail for the Battle Reports section. I know not THAT many people come here, but I'm sure the ones who do play Starcraft once in a while doncha? Anyway, if you had a good game you would like to see posted in my Battle Reports section, go here to see what you need to do.
-Tony The Mad
6:27 PM EST 8-1-99
I completely redesigning my Starcraft units section now. Not like last time where I just remade the pictures. I mean REALLY redesigned. But only the Terran section is is done. I'll work on the other parts tomorrow. Check out what I've done here!
-Tony The Mad
1:05 PM EST 7-31-99
I got an email from Starthreader about a bug in my page. Apparently old browsers tiled my buttons horizontally instead of vertically. I had only previously seen it on a POS 10 year old PC, but I guess its happens on old browsers too. I noticed that after I got the guy with the POS PC to download netscape 4.61 and then it workded fine. But now I made it so even if you don't have a new browser, it should work fine. And I still haven't gotten any Battle Reports to put on my web page, so please start sending them in.
-Tony The Mad
11:03 PM EST 7-29-99
Well, its practically this middle of the night and I'm at my friend's house for the greater part of a week again. You know, the guy with the shitty PC, but this time I'm prepared. I brought my iMac with me! BUAHAH! Anyway, he told me some stuff he liked and didn't like about my page and some stuff he mentioned was my backround picture. So I changed that, but then my main pic didn't look right with it, so I changed that too. I like it like this don't you? Oh well, nothing else new to report!
-Tony The Mad
8:55 PM EST 7-28-99
I never mentioned that band practice started up again did I? Oh well, it sucks, thats all I have to say about that. But other than that, I redid my Starcraft Unit Sections with new Brood War units and I also remade all the pictures. They now have transparent backrounds just like most of the other stuff like that on my web page. It took me a while, but not too long thankfully. Go look at then here, here, and here.
-Tony The Mad
6:42 PM EST 7-27-99
Well, now I have an even EASIER domain name. Now try http2//www.SCInsanity.com. There is no : after the http2. Isn't that cool? If you want something like that, go to http://www.http2.com. On other news, I had a nice chat with Snowcone today. He's even cooler than I thought =) No I'm not sucking up, he really is! Anyway, I haven't gotten any mail for the battle reports section, so theres really nothing I can put in there now. Also, my first screen shot now has a sequal. The screenshot is of a game me and {mAc}Hunter were playing, but he sent me screenshots of the same game where HE took the screenshots. Kinda interesting.
-Tony The Mad
9:51 PM EST 7-25-99
Well, I figured that the reason I'm not getting as many his as I would like is because my page doesn't offer anything that you can't get at any other site (besides my EXTENSIVE strategy section). So now I'm going to start a battle reports section! That'll be something new! Check it out here! Tomorrow I'll put up some Brood War stuff in my Starcraft section.
-Tony The Mad
10:44 AM EST 7-24-99
Guess what I found when I was looking through my Mac Addict (my favorite magazine). Its a bunch of hate stuff about windows! Big surprise right? But this is very funny! Look at it!
Also, as I'm working on getting my scuba certification, I noticed that a when a person has all the BC and tanks and regulators on, they look a lot like infested kerrigan! Especially if they're wearing a green wet suit. Wierd...
-Tony The Mad
1:10 AM EST 7-22-99
I made a neat looking backround for my main page. I also fixed some stuff and reorganized stuff (you won't be able to tell, but its easier for me) Tell me what you think of this new layout!
-Tony The Mad
7-21-99
From now on, I'll be putting all my new news on my main page. Apparently people prefer being able to read the news of the page without having to click on a link first. All my old news will be in the News section. Also, I have to tell you about this game I played. Click here to read it. That will probably become a peramanent part of my site. Sort of like a battle reports section! Yea!
-Tony The Mad
7-20-99
I got Brood War yesterday! I played it all day and beat the campaigns (no I didn't cheat... I was just obsessed). I only managed to play 1 game on battle.net.. Thats wierd isn't it? Anyway, I guess I'll have to be upgrading my page with new Brood War stuff in my strategies, units, etc. I also made my main page about 1/2 as big so it takes a lot less time to load. Well, as soon as I'm able to connect to the internet, I'll probably be playing. Stupid internet provider.
-Tony The Mad
7-19-99
After I saw how cool my main page was after my "upgrade," I decided to change my Starcraft section a bunch too! And boy did I! The whole section is re-organized, touched up, moved around, and made just all around cooler! Man I love learning about this stuff! Oh, and I hope the guys at the Deth guild don't mind me checking out thier source to make connected images.. I dunno what they're called.. Maps or something? Oh well, thanks anyway! Go to my Starcraft section to see what I've done!
-Tony The Mad
7-18-99
Man, look what I stayed up until 3:17 in the morning doing! It was really worth it! The mouse on text stuff is some of the coolest stuff you can do to make your web page stand out i think. Thank you to Macs4Life at ARMAddware for helping me find the code for it! I pretty much redesigned my main page, made a new main picture and stuff. It looks good doesn't it? I've also been helping Macs4life out a bit with some of his graphics so I can put his banner in my links page now =)
-Tony The Mad
7-17-99
Well, since they were out of stock, I'll get Brood War tomorrow (unless they're still out of stock). In other news, I made a Use Maps Settings Map called Battle Lands. You start of in a big war and you got to follow the story line and in the end kill a couple comps. You can play it single player or multiplayer. Please give it a try, its in my files section. Also, soon I'll be getting some mouse on image stuff soon. It'll be cool! I'll also make my main page faster to load etc.
-Tony The Mad
7-13-99
I got a better domain name! Now, if you type in my web adress instead of a shortcut or a link, you can now type in http://SCInsanity.findhere.com and you will be routed here!
-Tony The Mad
7-12-99
I put backrounds on most of my pages. I also made a cool still banner. Isn't it neat? I also changed my poll. Now its on whats your favorite Brood War unit. I also listed my page with Alta Vista, Yahoo, and Excite. =) If you want your page listed with these search engines REALLY easily, go to my links page to figure out how.
-Tony The Mad
7-11-99
Not much has been happening lately. I'm gonna get Brood War soon, and if anyone knows of any good online places where I can get it, it'd be great if you could email me. Also, I got 6 new Mp3's. Istanbul and Particle Man from TMBG. Also, I got the new Brood War music as well as the menu song for Starcraft. I've been having a REALLY bad week so far. In the last 2 days, I lost 5 games, all of them to rushes. One of them was a rush by 6 Zerglings just as my barracks was finished. Another was a photon canon rush, followed by a ton of Zealots. And the rest of them were zealot rushes. Then, when I was finally about to win a game today, my power went out because of the storm........... Sheesh.
- Tony The Mad
7-6-99
I got a poll. It seems to be a fad lately on all the Mac Starcraft web sites. My poll is about how you would rate my site. Hardly anyone emails me their opinion so, I thought it would be easier like this. PLEASE vote. Its at the bottom of my main page. I also fixed the mAc link with their new web page. Other than that, I have nothing new to report.
-Tony The Mad
7-2-99
Well, I figured out how to make transparent backrounds. They really are cool. Go to my Starcraft section to see what I've done so far. Thanks to Snowcone for helping me out with that! OK.
The ARMAddware SCM contest will run from July 4th to July 18th. The only rule is that you must include a read me with a file description and your e-mail address. Their website is http://members.aol.com/macs4life and you can email Macs4Life for more information. Or you can just email him with an attached file.
-Tony The Mad
6-30-99
I got Bohemian Rhapsody upped. You know, that song by Queen that they sung in Waine's World? Anyway, I also got 3 new screen shots. I haven't updated in a week mostly because nothing new has happened. BUT! Today Brood War for Mac has gone gold! Check it out at Blizzard.com. I also believe that this pointless, brutal war between mAc and Deth is ending. Thank god! Put some new backrounds in on my music section (i stole them from Blizzard's tech support section). I have a new link for ARMAddware. They are having a map making contest starting July 4th. And thats about it!
-Tony The Mad
6-22-99
I upped Canon in D. I also got a new screenshot. Other than that, the mAc and DETH war seems to be drawing to a close from several sources.... Is there really anything else to talk about? Brood War might be coming out soon, and I hope I have time to get my permit today.... OK. Bye.
-Tony The Mad
6-20-99
Well, I tried to get the 1812 Overture up, but xoom's uploading management sucks. I finished the upload, but it didn't appear in the page files. It took me 2 hours too. Oh well, I'll try getting Ride of the Valkyries up. I already got Flight of the Bumblebee and Hamster Dance up. Hamster Dance I did just so I could test some stuff because it was the smallest file I had. OK, also, Snowcone complimented my page in his news! I feel so honored =) Thanks Snowcone. Well, have a nice day.
-Tony The Mad
6-19-99
I'm back. I told ya I'd update as soon as I got home. Anyway, I only got 1 email for requests from {mAc}X~kaboom~X. Anyway, check out the music sections to see what he requested (in a few hours cuz it'll take a while to get em up. Its 8:48 Eastern now). Then you guys can download them. Also, geocities figured out a way to get by my anti banner system, so I have to figure out a new way to get rid of them. Oh well, whatever. If anyone can help me, please do.
-Tony The Mad
6-12-99
OK, I got another link. This time, to the notorious clan called {mAc} (don't forget about the A being capitalized). They are the biggest Mac starcraft clan, at least that I know of. If there was one bigger, I'm sure I would have heard of it by now. Anyway, the link to their page is in my Links section. Their page is VERY cool. Also, if you like MP3's more than those cruddy MIDI's I have in my page already, check out my music section to see if you like any of the ones that I have. I don't have any uploaded yet, but if you want them, go to my music page to find out how to get them. And finally, I won't be able to do anything else on my page for about a week, not like that hasn't happened before. I'm going to summer camp. Its a week long if you haven't figured that out already, but, I'll update probably as soon as I get home. BYE!
-Tony The Mad
6-10-99
Sheesh, I haven't updated my page in a long time. Sorry to anyone who might have been a fruequent visitor and enjoyed my page. Anyway, I have a few new screen shots on insane games. I love insane games. If you've never played and insane game, I suggest you play an insane game! Right now! Go on battle.net and play one! And my birthday was this Tuesday! I went to medieval times, cuz medieval times rocks! And also, new link! Go to http://www.hamsterdance.com just cuz its insanely funny!
click here to play the hamster dance song!
-Tony The Mad

Decided to put the Lag Party file up today, despite what my post at macstarcraft.com said. It's an alternate way to connect to battle.net. Use at your own risk!
-Tony The Mad
5-19-99
Starwars came out today, I caught the 2:45 show. Was 2 people in line away from getting the 12:01 show :( Anyway, go see it. I can't critique the movie cuz I can't tell if i loved it or just liked it. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7 or 8. OK, about my page now. I had some dusting to do, fixed some stuff, did a little touch up, but the only major thing was my new file, the Starcraft Cinematics Player. Worth a download, GET IT!
-Tony The Mad
5-13-99
I made a different main picture. Well, actually, I just altered the 2 that were there. A friend of mine suggested that I do that. Soon, I'm going to put a StarWars section up, just because I'm obsessed with StarWars right now. I'm going to the first show and I'm going to frame the ticket on my wall. =)
-Tony The Mad
5-12-99
Well, I updated all the Strategy sections with new strategies, and made my Protoss strategy. I never even noticed I never made one.. :P I also got rid of those pesky banners that pop every time my page loads. If you don't like banners on your page, get rid of them by putting
<noscript>
<noframes>
<noembed>
At the bottom of your source.
-Tony The Mad
5-10-99
Well, I kinda got out of the page thing for a while, but I'm back now! Anyway, I am now thoughourly (speel chekk plaes?) obsessed with mp3's. I sure do likem. A lot. Also, I put some backrounds on my Starcraft related pages, special thanks to nlmtzerg. :) Also, I just realized I never made a protoss strategy section, and that the rest of them suck! Well, not for long. I'll work on that today, and probably have it up by tomorrow.
I also got a new wierd screen shot.
-Tony The Mad
5-2-99
First of all, I discovered mp3's two days ago... Oh man, do they rule! I downloaded an hour and a half of mp3's and I hope I don't get in trouble for some of them. :P Stupid copyright laws. And another thing. I got a REALLY wierd screenshot that my friend emailed me. I didn't know you could put tanks on top of a barracks!
-Tony The Mad
4-29-99
I made a new section all about music, mostly classical music. I spent a long time on it, and I think its pretty cool. If you don't like classical music, and you are thinking "what a dork, a classical music fan?" Well, what do you think everyone thinks of you when you say, "I'm a Mac user!" Same thing. Anyway, I like it, and take a look, cuz I also have some StarTrek stuff on there too! Oh yeah, now my record is 46-1!
-Tony The Mad
4-24-99
I got a file called Swatch Internet Time. Its a module for your control strip that displays the internet time by calculating your system time with your time zone..... I just realized, the picture I have for the link to the downlaod is bigger than the download itself. The file is 8k while the picture is 16k.... hehe, wierd.
-Tony The Mad
4-21-99
Decided to put my counter and marquee back up. Also got a new screen shot. Thats it though.
-Tony The Mad
4-20-99
Got a Screenshots sections up. Its not too big yet, because I haven't been taking too many screenshots. But it will get bigger soon. It is the biggest individual section on my webpage so far. It takes a whopping 0.5 of a megabite!!!! Well, my whole page is just over 2 megs so what can I say? I try and keep everything as small as I can so Its more pleasant to visit, but I do have some big stuff on here. And I also accidently deleted most of my main page, so I had to rebuild all that... DOH! I also got rid of the marquee and the counter. I decided I didn't really need them, and they were screwing some stuff up. Also, I realised that some of my pictures and stuff look pretty bad (my news button for instance) compared with the screen shots button i just made, so I'll redo some of those when I have time, but for now, I gotta mow the lawn and do my homework, so I'll do it later.
-Tony The Mad
4-18-99
OK, I haven't updated in a while, but I am now, so I hope I haven't already lost any crowd I might have had. Anyway, I made an extensive General Strategy section in my Species Page That totally dissects the game so you won't be missing out on anything. I got most of the stuff from Total Games on Hotline, I just compiled them all together into one page. I also fixed some files and just neatened up a bit. Oh yeah, my record on battle.net is now 38-1-8 (no i'm not a disconnector, just AOL decided that SOMETIMES AlwaysONLine wouldn't work through Starcraft... I hate AOL) I play a lot of 2x2's and 3x3's and sometimes a few 1x1's. But any more than that gets real laggy because AOL, as I said before, sucks. I need to make a exploding AOL gif. Even with 6 people it gets laggy. But anyway, I'm in channels macstarcraft and mac a lot, even though mac is the {mAc} clan's claimed channel, so just go in there to chat, or to get recruited, and not to make trouble. Well, have a nice day!
-Tony The Mad
4-9-99
I got some new gifs in my "me" and "apple" pages, as well as a new made with mac gif. The place I got them is in my links foler. Awesome place to check out if you like to make pages with apple gif... :) Anyway. I'll get my protoss strategy up in a little while, and also work on my other strategies pages soon. But I have relatives over and I'm going to spend some time with them. So I'll see ya later.
-Tony The Mad
4-6-99
Well, I got a new link. This one goes to Mac Starcraft. Do not confuse this with MacStarcraft.com. Mac Starcraft is a great looking site. You should go see it. Also, I've been playing Starcraft almost nonstop so now my record is 24-1-4. Well, I'll start working on more sections to this page in a little while, but I have too much stuff to do today so I'll probably get to it tomorrow.
-Tony The Mad
4-2-99
WHOOOHAAA!! I GOT IT!! YES!! I HAVEN'T EVEN OPENED IT YET! WHAT AM I DOING THEN? I HAVE TO GO PLAY STARCRAFT! YES! BYE HAVE A NICE DAY EVERYONE I HOPE YOU ALL GET IT SOON!!
-Tony The Mad
4-1-99
I haven't been able to update in a while cuz band practice took up a lot of my time. Today we didn't have any :) For those of you in marching band, and with parades coming up, you probably know how it is. Well, its comfirmed that I get Starcraft tomorrow! I added a Zerg Strategy section and a files page. I also copied ^MacMan^'s marquee! :) Since I am lacking for good strategies, it would be nice if people could e-mail me some.
-Tony The Mad
3-29-99
It turns out that the company I ordered from, when it says 2 day shipping garunteed, they mean 2 working days (Mon-Fri)! I ordered it Friday at 11:00... And thats not all.... THEY'RE BACKORDERED!!! They said I should have it by Friday. That sucks... A lot... And its not fair either.. Oh well, I've waited this long, I can wait.... 4 more days. Well, I'm doing this update kind of late at night because band practice took up all my free time today. For any of you in high school marching band, you may know how much time that can take up, especially before a MAJOR parade! Well, I added some new links. Pablo's Blizzard Haven, and Cornflake's Starcraft HQ.
Tony-The-Mad
3-28-99
I made a Zerg and Protoss Units section. I notice that on a lot of pages, people have news posts several weeks, sometimes months apart. :P Well that obviously isn't happening here. I have a new post, about every day? Oh well. I hope it stays somewhat like that. :) I'm wondering if they ship on Sunday. Cuz I haven't gotten Starcraft yet........... I'm still waiting and everyone I know online already has it. hehe. Well, maybe tomorrow if not today, but isn't that what we've been saying for a year now? Uh oh.
-Tony The mad
3-27-99
I've been having fun playing paintball all day. Well at least I got home so I can update my page some more. I added a Terran Strategy Section. It has links in the Species page and in the Terran units page. Well, thats about it. Oh yeah. I ordered starcraft yesterday. It said 2 day garuntee. That would mean I get it tomorrow! I sure hope so!
-Tony The mad
3-26-99
I added a Terran unit section. Soon I will add a unit section for all the species, and also a general strategy for all the species. They are in my Species section. Check it out.
-Tony The Mad
3-25-99
I just realized that I was doing my news page all wrong. I was putting the new news on the botton..... :P DOH! Oh well. I fixed that now. As if anyone actuall came to my news page. Or did they? Oh yeah. If someone can confirm if Starcraft has been released in any parts of the country yet, please e-mail me.
-Tony The Mad
3-24-99
I figured out how to make my own gifs. I spent forever taking screen shots of each frame of tanks and battle cruisers and turning them into animated gifs. But they look pretty neat when they're done, even though they jump around sort of. :P Oh well. I hope you like them because I spent a long time making them.
-Tony The Mad
3-23-99
Well, I added a Mac section, and added some more animated GIF's. I hope people start coming to my page.... :P I e-mailed snowcone about asking him to add a link to my page. Soon, I will have a files section, and some other neat stuff. But to know what I need, people need to come and put stuff on my message board and stuff... So far it seems I'm talking to myself. hehe. Oh well.
-Tony The Mad
3-22-99
Oh yeah! Now that Starcraft is FINALLY released (sort of, I hope it gets out of the "gold" stage soon.... :P ) We can start finally playing on battle.net! Oh, by the way, if you've ever had the crash when you push command "M" to get back into full screen mode, instead of pushing command m, push the button on the top right that expands the window (not the windowshade). It never crashes that way!! Anyway, I hope to see some of you all on battle.net and if you need to know my complete battle.net name, its Tony-The-Mad . I might not be on battle.net for a little while 'cuz this web page making thing takes a lot of time!!! Well, see ya later.
-Tony The Mad
3-21-99
Just started my web page here. I hope you like it. I pretty summed up any news I had on my main page. If you are lazy and don't fell like checking back (if you didn't read it and you still want to) then here it is again. This page is devoted to Starcraft and to Apple. Without them, well, the world would not be as good as it is today! My Name is Tony The Mad on battle.net and this is my first page ever. Please don't hesitate to mail me your criticisms. My e-mail is OokimGuy@aol.com. Once I figure out e-mail links, I'll do that. But I do know the other kind of link! Hehe, I'm getting better at this page making thing! And I am still under HEAVY construction, so don't be too hard on me yet! Also when i figure out how to make frames, i'll do that too!
-Tony The Mad
