Is
Rae Elaine Hatfield:
I defined the discipline and taxonomy of making this especial
type of android. The Hatfield Type Android (HTA) is unique in
that each is designed to appear as much like a particular human
as possible; a handcrafted clone, as it were.
If you are seeking a site to arouse your prurient interests
then The Android Maker should disappoint you. There are other
places best suited for those "needs." If you still have such
requirement, then adult places who I do not endorse or their
products, such as Real Doll may appreciate your visit.
...
Now that you are still with us, browse this site in
revision, put on your thinking cap, and contribute to the cause!
The Android Maker is as much if not more an organization than a
commercial site.

More about THE ANDROID MAKER from my personal web site.
This should help my "ego-surfing." For a while, This is a
stub until I can migrate /restore more of the files the
information, there are links to some older Android Making
information.

The INSPIRATION FOR HATFIELD ANDROTICS picture is about 220K
in size and fills an 800 by ... screen. (The model's name
is unknown to me.)

Maintenance Log: stub Frequent browsers may want to
investigate this to see what is new. It is followed by a
"To Do" list; better known as a "dream sheet."
An Internet page should be as informative as possible in
text mode. This is to preserve the net's "bandwidth" for information flow as much as possible and to be viewable on the most
systems. Also, many, like me, do not have the compute-power for
graphically heavy, bloated pages where a large file bit map is
used where a few lines of HTML would be more efficient and
informative.
Illustrations have their use in communications. This is my
protest about the multitude of pages and sites that look like
ransom notes with "graphics" and other computer masturbations.
Those pages take a long time to load through a 14.4 MODEM.
These are the things about "modern" web pages I detest:
And...
*
Mucking up or defeating the browser's [Back] button. I like
the ability to manage my own stacks and queues.
*
Click, wait, tease, repeat... I may not be able to organize
as well as I prefer, but at least TheAndroidMaker.com's
pages will load fast on a minimal system.
*
Pages wider than the browsers window. Some people run other
processes in addition to the browser. Who wants to vibrate
the horizontal slider to see the page?
*
Piggy graphics where text works as well ... if not better.
*
Long load times.
Frequently, I test my site's pages with a 25MHz 80486DX ISA
computer. That set is fast enough to make an internet connection
when it runs OS/2.
My messages are best communicated primarily with words.
Words can be read and they can be repeated. Words mean things.
Words can be thought about and mused over. Words can be studied
for agreement or for logic flaws (the scientific method?).
A BIT MORE TECHNICAL:
HTML version 1 or not much later should be supported by all
browsers; including Mosaic. What "new feature" do I need?
Usually, I use OS/2 bonus pac's WebExplorer to test the
presentation of this site's pages.
I am too old to mess with "bare handed" programming HTML.
Therefore, I use a helper. I know that the newer windows based
products have a "save As HTML" option, but that is insufficient for me to change operating systems and applications software. My
helper, a WordPerfect 5.1 to HTML converter, seems to be biased
to Netscape's extensions. Since I have used that for a while,
new versions of internet explorer probably adopted similar
capability.
Text color black reads best on a neutral, default
background. Additionally, RED can be used for "redlining" new
material. However, my current shade <FONT COLOR=#FF0000> seems
to me a bit "brassy." Any know the code for a deeper or brownish
tint?
In like manner, GREEN can be used for "strikeout." Its
current shade is COLOR=#00FF00 which seems amenable. This hue is
to color material that is a candidate for dissection for future
updates. No guarantee how long it will last, but I should leave
it as-is for a week since change. These text color features are
as appears in a DOS WordPerfect 5.1 edit screen.
There is a peculiar "feature" to this converter's resultant
HTML from a WordPerfect 5.1 document and the WebExplorer browser:
WordPerfect converts the text used in labels for cross references
(XRef) to upper CASE. That should not be a problem. However,
the WebExplorer I have does not jump to internal destinations
(the text after the "pound sign" of a URL) if they are in upper
case. Obviously, I need to be able to test my internal links.
So, the initial work-around was to simply use numbers in my cross
reference labels.
That did not work. My Navigator seemed sluggish using
digits as destinations. I leave this matter included because I
have not decided yet to continue with digits or invent labels
knowing they will be upper case in code. Let me get some
feedback from internet explorer users.
Want to comment about anything in my pages? Can you guess
who's image I used? These pages are still under construction.
Write me!...
