These are the updates that were added to the fanpage during the year
of 2001, and they are still here because I hate to delete content that
I took time and effort to create - and I hate even more to get rid of
the record of all of the changes that I made to the site in the year 2001
- and also a page that offers an excllent non-linear way to browse content.
The most up to date what's new page is still
on the site, together with the other whats new archives - whats new in
2000, whats new in 1999
and whats new from the start of the site until 1998.

Added a colour version
of the personification of honesty to gallery
twelve, then got struck by a sudden whim and animated
the transition from the colour
to the black andwhite version
- for no good reason - I just felt like it! - watch out for the
size of the download though.
Also added a colour version
of Zaffra and the Dragon to gallery
one: then created a page with
both the colour and black and white versions on the same page,
so that comparisons can be made between the two.

Tuesday September 11th 2001: We Shall Remember and Honour Them. |
In response to the terrible events in New York, Washington and Pittsburgh
I took the site down from Tuesday to Thursday and placed in it's place
the outrage page. It was just something
I felt I had to do. We can do our own small part to help by donating
to the American Red Cross |
|
Sunday September 2nd 2001 |
I have created the CD-Rom visitors page,
specifically for visitors arriving at the site because of the links
in the Heart of Empire CD-Rom: even though the CD isn't published
yet I'd love feedback on how to fine-tune it before the expected hordes
of visitors arrive! |
|
Tuesday August 28th 2001 |
A far longer break than normal in updating the site, but hopefully
with good reason: first of all I was concentrating on completing
the CD-Rom for Heart
of Empire: - which is now finished and in the process of being
duplicated by Dark Horse as I write... and is available for pre-ordering
right now!
I also had my birthday this month, and my first wedding
anniversary.... Despite all that: I have managed to update the
Heart of Empire CD-Rom
homepage, the links page and the news
page.

a pencils page,
a notes page, and
one page from the introduction,
all from the CD-Rom. Also therefore updated the Heart

navigator page.
I also shamelessly plugged the CD-Rom on the homepage
of the site, and on the bulletin
board.
|
|
Sunday April 1st 2001 |
The usual reason for not updating more regularly applies again
- I have been working non-stop on the forthcoming Heart of Empire
CD-Rom, as well as holding down a full time day job. However
the good news is that after visiting Bryan last weekend the CD-Rom
is almost complete: watch this space for details!
Anyway, on the site, I have updated the acknowledgements
to One Bad Rat page, the Bad Rat homepage,
the Arkwright page, the links
page, the news page and the biography
page.
Also I have updated the Papist
Affair main page, , after one astute reader noticed that each
page is a single page - not a whole issue! (nice one Jim!)
|
|
Sunday March 4th 2001. |
