[home/webdesign/perl_scripts/crossword] I forgot to mention this before! I got a telephone call from the Life Network the other day. How weird to be getting telephone calls from big companies, eh? They were calling to ask my permission to use something I created on a show called “The Mom Show.” Did I get that right? Is there something called The Mom Show? (I just Googled it… I got it right.) Anyway, they were covering a story of a mom who is addicted to playing Crossword, which is a game I wrote! In fact, it’s the first Perl script I ever wrote. I made it back in 1999 so that Joanne and her family could play Scrabble with each other over the Internet. It’s these little blips that keep the smile on my face. How funny that a game I wrote is keeping a mom from doing laundry! ~Jason

[home/webdesign/perl_scripts/crossword] My Perl script, Crossword, which is a Scrabble-style game you can play with family via email, has been updated. Now it automatically calculates points on each move! ~Jason

[home/webdesign/perl_scripts/crossword] Well, you’re not going to believe this, but Crossword, my Scrabble-style Perl script, now calculates points automatically on every play! I’d love to take the credit, but alas, it wasn’t me. A fellow user and programmer— and I guess Scrabble lover— did the real work, and integrated the points subroutines! Pretty impressive. So it’s not online yet, but will be soon, when I get my act together! Stay tuned. ~Jason

Scrabble Deal
Sorry for all the confusion.
I was hoping that more people would make donations over the last year to help support the site but it hasn’t happened. I’ve only had one 5 dollar donation.
I’ve decided to charge $20 per year for a group to play. So you can give your password to all your friend who play and have a game on my site. After a year, the charge will renew.
I figured if four people pay 5 bucks to play for a year they’re getting a deal. If they’re all PayPal users, it’s easy.
Additionally, subscribing gives you one free month, so it’s really a bargain.
Sorry that the code isn’t all in place. I have been busy lately. I’ll try to get it all working right away.

OK Jason. I just found answers to these questions by exploring your “my perl Scripts” link. Thanks, John.
