Meet the Webmistress...

I'm Emily Jackson, age 60-something or so, and I was born and raised in Russellville, Alabama, located in the Shoals area of northwestern Alabama.

After graduating from Russellville High School, I attended the University of North Alabama in Florence and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics with a minor in German.

My other interests (besides AYBS?) include needle crafts, 1960s music (particularly The Beatles and The Who), reading, an eclectic assortment of television shows (from Star Trek and Futurama to Jeopardy!) and (as you might imagine) worrying with my computer.

(BTW, this picture was my senior portrait at UNA. It was supposed to have appeared in the 1983 yearbook, but someone else's picture was there instead!)

These are a few of my favorite things...

That old-time religion

• Online Daily Office
• Bible Study Tools
• Bible FAQ
• The Cyber Hymnal

Television

• TV Party (Billy Ingram's fabulous site about all things retro TV)
• Trek Bits (up-and-coming Trek site of the highest quality)

The Who

• thewho.net
• The Who's Official Site
• WhiteFang's Who Site

The Beatles

• Internet Beatles Album

(More Beatles/Who/British Invasion links can be found here.)

What's Going On?

• New York Times
• London Times
• Washington Post
• Florence (Ala.) TimesDaily
• Franklin County (Ala.) Times
• Marion County (Ala.) Journal Record

Computers/Software

• Macintouch (Ironically, a browser other than Apple's Safari is best for this Mac-oriented page. From the site's FAQ: "Legitimate, human visitors having problems accessing our site via Apple intermediation (iCloud Private Relay) may sometimes need to disable that option in Safari settings or use a different browser, such as Firefox." I would recommend the DuckDuckGo browser, which is fast, similar to Safari, and blocks ads automatically without an extension.)
• Bare Bones Software:BBEdit
• Vim (powerful, complex text editor)
  • OS X port
• GraphicConverter (premier graphic editing program for the Mac)
• Fetch (venerable FTP client, finally updated for the 21^st century)
• Transmit (ultimate FTP client for macOS)
• ncftp (nice command-line FTP client for Unix, Windows and Mac OS X)
• Audion (world's coolest MP3 player) [Audion was recently discontinued by its publishers, but it is still available for download and is now free. Read the story of Audion's demise and weep.]
• A Treatise on Newsgroups and Newsreaders

Finally, I'd like to express my appreciation to every web surfer who's stumbled across my page and (hopefully) found it entertaining and/or enlightening. I'd also like to thank the many people who helped in one way or another to make the Virtual Video Vault possible...and I am unanimous in that!

Back to the Virtual Video Vault!
