Site history

October 10, 2008 - I'm still here! No, really! There have been a few updates since the last entry. Fanart for a couple of browser RPGs I play, records of roleplaying sessions, that sort of thing.

March 17, 2005 - Added my livejournal to the contents page. Whee.

November 22, 2004 - A couple of things have been added to the contents page. First, a few doodles about what exactly it means to be autonomous. (Philosophy class was good for something after all!) Second, my own webcomic. I never thought I'd actually get this far with it... not that I've gotten all that far. But still, progress has been made, and I feel inordinately proud. Yay ISOHE!

February 28, 2004 - You didn't think it would be possible for me to stay away from this site for over a year, did you! Ha! Proved you wrong! There is new content, a webpage about dangerous foods. Not foods that might elevate your cholesterol levels etc, but stuff that might kill you if you don't prepare it right.

November 9, 2002 - It's time to give the site a new look. I like cyan. Plus, a major, major restructuring; I'm getting rid of most of the site, keeping only a few features. Original fiction that no one reads, fanfics that I don't feel like continuing, not-terribly-good art: goodbye, and good riddance. I'm not even majorly interested in anime fandom anymore, so maintaining a site about it is kind of silly.

June 19, 2001 - The updates continue. Quite a few more quotes.

June 19, 2001 - After a long, long absence, I have returned. And there was much listless rejoicing.... There are general, miniature updates to pretty much every single section of the site. And major updates to the gallery, especially the scans page. I been drawin', I have.

January 4, 2001 - A new Sluggy Freelance WinAmp skin.

December 22, 2000 - One new link added to the My Sites page.

December 19, 2000 - New icons... two whole sets worth of them. Miscellaneous, as well as holiday-themed icons.

December 13, 2000 - Finally, finally, the first few reviews are up! You'll find a disproportionate number of very high and very low ratings in this first batch, as I'm just starting off with the ones that stood out the most in my memory. Plus a few new quotes.

October 11, 2000 - Lots and lots of updates. New quotes added. A new set of original icons. Lots of new stuff in the gallery, in the Puck, Anime-style, and Various categories. A new wallpaper. Links list weeded out. Puck's Corner actually has some content now. Not much progress on the reviews, but at least I've got the rating system up, it's a start. Oh... and, once and for all, I've separated my anime page from the rest of my site. No more anime-related updates will appear here, whether for fanfiction, fanart, anime icons, or anything else. There's probably more that I've done since the last recorded update, but I can't for the life of me remember what, so... 'til next time!

August 9, 2000 - May to August... leetle bit of a gap there, eh? Well, I do have an excuse, considering that my summer job is evil incarnate and I have no time to check my email... let alone update my website. Well, since May, things HAVE been happening at this site... albeit slowly. I can't remember exactly when everything happened so I'll just agglomerate it all into this entry. The site is in the process of moving from http://webhome.idirect.com/~not/ to http://www.bwerith.f2s.com/ Why, you ask? Uh... well, because I don't want to have to use dial-up whenever I want to update my site. And because my parents are threatening to stop doing business with Idirect in favour of getting a cable modem. Which would render our webhome.idirect.com account defunct. In anticipation of this, my site is hiking to a new address, complete with more space and all kinds of goodness. Joy. Currently, I've got the picture gallery, icons, and other graphical goodies all up and running, and I've been weeding out my Links lists. But the greatest task is still to come... I don't relish changing every single story and poem and fanfic file in my entire site.... ah well, a task for a rainy afternoon or two or three!

May 26, 2000 - Some more work on the site redesign. I've figured out the mouseovers, whoopee! Now I just need to create a tiling background picture and a small banner. Probably a button too; yeah, that'd look nice. Huh, the old banner really worked (on white backgrounds anyway) because of the shapes of the leaves, but the new leaves don't work that way. Think I'll have to put a border on the new banner; something for the leaves to drop down from. ... Enough meaningless details, already!

May 25, 2000 - The graphics are done. Boy, they're pretty! At least, compared to the old graphics, they are. Though the pics of me and Puck look a little too cartoonish when compared to the leaves. After all this time, I think I've finally figured out how to draw leaves. Believe it or not, all this time I've been trying to draw ivy and I've only just realized how to do it properly. Anyway, I want to get some mouseovers going. If I can figure out the code. Whee.

May 24, 2000 - I really think that the leaves need some work. You know, the leaves? Winding around the top/left corner of each of my main set of pages? I mean, they're kind of pale coloured and fuzzy, and there's not that much contrast. Plus I've been looking at Mig's portfolio of site design and mine don't compare all that well. Aheh. Plus there are too many main subsections to worry about, and do I really need to trumpet my little 'about me' file on every single mainsub page? I think not. So you know what that means: a site redesign is in order. Not only changing graphics, but also reorganizing every single page, hopefully streamlining things in the process. Plus it'll make it less taxing on my poor brain to figure out where to put new sections.

April 3, 2000 - A couple of GW fics added to the Anime Fanfics page, plus a very weird thing added under the new Miscellaneous section. Flame-throwing umbrellas...? I'm not even sure I want to know....

March 28, 2000 - A Gundam Wing fic added to the Anime Fanfics page.

March 11, 2000 - Major update to The Lettuce Maiden. Not only was it divided into scenes, but lots of new material was added. Lettuce, anyone? ^_^

February 24, 2000 - The graphic of Puck in the upper left corner of each page was replaced with... pics of both Puck and me, in SD form. Will *anyone* notice? ^_^;; Also, new stuff added to the Quotes page.

February 22, 2000 - Chapter 10 of Mysterious Worlds was finished, and Chapter 11 was begun. Only a dozen chapters to go... only a dozen chapters to go....

February 15, 2000 - Another picture in the Picture Gallery -- of a guy this time! How strange!

February 14, 2000 - Some more of Mysterious Worlds Chapter 10 was put up.

February 8, 2000 - New pics in the Picture Gallery, new stuff in the Library (I've added my MiSTings for the very first time), and some comics linked from both pages!

January 28, 2000 - A new story in the Library. Wow, it's been far too long since I last was able to say that! Also, a new interactive fanfic begun for the Anime Fanfics page. This one is kind of like Slayers INTERACTIVE, but it's for a different series, Gundam Wing. I hope it ends up just as whacked-out as Slayers INT did ^_^;;

January 25, 2000 - One new picture each for the Picture Gallery and Anime Fanart pages. Also, the Anime page got a couple of changes: the Favourites page was turned into a Reviews page, and an Anime Glossary page was added.

January 21, 2000 - Both the Picture Gallery and Anime Fanart pages got a makeover. I finally got around to making thumbnails of absolutely every picture. I hope that makes things more convenient for people. If not, then I wasted a couple of perfectly good hours.... ^_^;; Also, a new pic for the Fanart page, and two new pics for the Gallery.

January 12, 2000 - No anime fanart this time! Instead, four -- count 'em -- *four* pictures for the Picture Gallery. Maybe I'll update some of my stories or fanfics one of these days... for now, I'm having far too much fun drawing things!

January 9, 2000 - Yet more anime fanart. Dost thou detect a trend here? Ah, but wait, there is also a new picture for my Picture Gallery.

January 7, 2000 - A new addition to the anime fanart page.

December 26, 1999 - New Mononoke Hime icons on the Anime Icons page.

December 21, 1999 - What? Two updates in as many days? Is the world coming to an end? ... Anyway, I'm half-finished the graphics change. I still have no clue how I'm going to deal with the various anime sub-pages. Ick. But I'll figure something out soon, no worries. Plus, there's a new picture up in the Picture Gallery. Wow, new packaging *and* new content!

December 20, 1999 - This next update'll be a big one. I'm re-doing *all* of the graphics for my page. Whew. One day, it'll all look like the way the Index page does now; till then, I'll just let you get a glimpse of what the site will eventually look like. I'm even considering re-integrating the Anime pages into the Puck/Leafy theme... what do you folks think? (Not that anyone actually reads this page ^_^;;)

November 22, 1999 - Another addition to the Anime Fanart page. Also a new picture for the Picture Gallery. And a couple of additions to the Mac goodies page -- I'm starting to do background pictures, too!
