Updates


      Let me tell you of a story of a man named Charlie -
      On a tragic and fateful day
      He put ten cents in his pocket, kissed his wife and family
      Went to ride on the MTA.
      But did he ever return, no he never returned
      And his fate is still unlearned.
      He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Boston.
      He's the man who never returned.
        The Kingston Trio, "MTA"


    Okay, so I'm establishing an update page well after I've done a handful of updates. However, it seemed like a useful sort of thing to be doing. If I recall correctly, the site was begun on 5 November, 1999, with the creation of the "Baseball and Me" essay, which lurked unformatted and plain in this directory for a day or two after that, after which I did the basic page setup. Links and quotes will update irregularly but progressively; I'll try to remember to add a notation on this page when I do significant updates to either in the future.

    Sunday, 19 December, 1999

    HTML handwaving done at the backlinks page in order to make its graphics load in an efficient amount of time. The graphics now load in an efficient amount of time, and I feel like a successful crusader for competent HTML.
    Additionally, quotations now head all the currently established pages, allowing me to make the ridiculous statement that the site is now done until I write another essay or something foolish like that, and therefore I won't be making many updates for a while. Probably.
    I will, however, plow through another three chapters of the Revelation.
