What Used to Be New

An archive copy of my running log of larger changes made as part of continuous maintenance (erroneously called "construction" on other pages) prior to starting the current pretty good web log.

*   *   *
  • early Sep 01 - Another round of validation (tho' nothing rearranged).
  • 15 May 01 - Created a random Pythagorean triplet generator and a page explaining how it's done.
  • mid-Apr 01 - Updated my email address to reflect my new host.
  • 22 Mar-6 Apr 01 - Over a couple weeks, validated, culled, and rearranged research, news, weather, typography, religion, and outside.
  • 19 Mar 01 - My ISP is concentrating on its business customers, so I've had to move these pages to another server: http://www.dm.net/~lnh/. Pages at the Primenet address will soon be removed (with a redirect, natch), so please update your bookmarks. I'm holding off updating my email address until I see how my new ISP settles out. Further changes are possible, so please bear with me.
  • 18 Mar 01 - Changed the sunset for the new marker in words of one beat from two to three weeks. Validated, culled, and rearranged fluff.
  • 10 Jan 01 - Added markers for works posted in the last two weeks to words of one beat. This uses Javascript, but it degrades gracefully.
  • 1 Jan 01 - For the pedant's millenium, debuted a page of political links.
  • 11-13 Dec 00 - Revisions to miserablities in progress, including adding two stick figure animations.
  • 9 Dec 00 - Even with its applet, promoted reasons to be miserable out of the lab and into the main directory. Maybe I'll start updating it now. Not that you care or anything.
  • 16 Nov 00 - The occasion of renaming the knowledge page to research seems like a good time to point out that several new goodies have been added to fluff over the past couple weeks.
  • 1 Sep 00 - Zee currant experiment in zee lab ees wit Java. Oui?
  • 14-17 Aug 00 - Revised and added many accumulated links to science.
  • 2 Aug 00 - Not the revision it needs, but I did revalidate science.
  • 22 Apr 00 - For ease of navigation, added a site map.
  • 14 Apr 00 - To head off a growing public relations scandal, our privacy policy is now available directly off the main page.
  • 20 Feb 00 - In honor of finally finishing the General Prologue, reorganized words of one beat chronologically.
  • 4 Feb 00 - Have started an ongoing project translating by installments the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales into words of one beat.
  • 29 Jan 00 - Over the past couple days have added a several new poems to words of one beat.
  • 5 Jan 00 - Replaced the defunct Comic-Strip Cornucopia with the San Jose Mercury News Personal Comics.
  • 8 Dec 99 - Validated, revised, and expanded the weather page.
  • 4 Dec 99 - Added a subpage of translations into words of one beat.
  • 27 Nov 99 - Despite last month's reconciliation, I designed a slicker look; all the main pages have been ported to the new design.
  • 7 Nov 99 - Beefed up the science news links.
  • 21 Oct 99 - Gave pages a more uniform look-and-feel by reconciling the color schemes of some of the more, ah, experimental pages.
  • 3-7 Oct 99 - Validated links on and expanded the science page.
  • 9 Sep 99 - Having gotten the religion page I'd been working on to a more or less worthwhile point, linked it to the others.
  • 3 Sep 99 - Added a touch of JavaScript to fluff. It seems to degrade gracefully.
  • 24 Aug 99 - Comic-Strip Cornucopia on the fluff page went 404. Mentioned here only because it's a great loss.
  • 12-14 Aug 99 - Continued adding science links, to the point that the page is now metastable. This means that while links will be added as they are found (just as has been happening with the research and fluff pages), the text more or less fulfills the original conception. Also, updated parts of the typography page.
  • 8 Aug 99 - Created science and what's new pages. Trimmed more non-reference science links from research.
  • 7 Aug 99 - History began. Separated out a science section of the news page, expanding the links. Removed some not strictly reference links from the research page, to reappear in a science page (in progress).
