This is the world of necromancer page of frequently asked questions
or questions that you might have but are afraid to ask.
Q: Who the hell are you?
A: I am necromancer, a regular poster to the newsgroup rec.autos.driving (abbreviated r.a.d.) who lives on the East Coast of the State of Georgia in the United States Of America.
Q: Why the name necromancer? It has nothing to do with driving.
A: Why not? I decided that the nym "Paul," which I used to go by was too pedesrtian and wanted something different. Also, if any Christian fanatics around here read this, maybe it will make them shit in their pants.
Q: What will be your purpose to these pages?
A: To exhibit driving related images for use in rec.autos.driving and misc.transport.road discussions, mainly.
Q: What's with the HAZMAT placard as a logo?
A: Why not?
Q: Where can I find the pictures?
A: Close this tab (or window if using IE - alternately, go to
the home page ) and click on the link called - appropriately enough - "The Pictures." If you are looking for the video, there is a similar link for those on the main page.
Q: When will the videos be comming?
A: Hopefully in late January 2008. Acquisition of a video camera being the impediment to my implementing the video project. I haven't really settled on a style yet, but I'm thinking of copying the style of m.t.r's "
Freewayjim," to do these videos.
Q: how are you doing these backgrounds?
A: The backgrounds that go from one color to another are called, "gradients." Most image editors (
The GIMP (freeware, IIRC) in the case of the gradients) can make them. For the record, I use background images of either 100x1500 or 300x1500 pixels. The road backgrounds were similarly made with a different image editor:
Lview Pro (however this one will cost 'ya).
