Hi there!
This page contains write-ups of new and updated material to my web pages as well as general info on stuff that I'm doing (or stuff being done to me <g>).

...and now...The News

May 20th, 1999: Okay! It's been awhile since I did an update here. I've been goofing around as usual and have not been documenting stuff, so here's the quick list:

  1. did a new home page image and image map with a Spring theme!
  2. split off older news into another page to speed download times
  3. scaled-down the animated GIF thumbnail for the April 4th entry (see below) to speed-up downloading
  4. added my newest animated GIF! It's a busy little thing and you can see it at Gabrielle in Action!

April 4th, 1999: I've been playing around with the computer toys again... this time it's animated GIF format images. I've selected some nifty little screen captures from The Play's The Thing. You should now - or shortly - be seeing the animation in the thumbnail. It contains six frames. It links to a bigger one with nine image frames. There's also a few seconds of bad video on that page. Together, they take up about one half meg of storage.

March 22nd, 1999: Okay, maybe I have a new favorite episode from season 4...The Play's The Thing. Just click the thumbnail pic to see the screen capture. I think I can get this to look better. It's a hit-and-miss process. I can either fix up this attempt, or try to redo the capture and see if I can eliminate the "buzz saw" effect without losing too much sharpness. That's going to have to wait until some later time. In any case, I like this shot!


March 5th, 1999: Here's an Arts and Crafts project for you...<g>
I got a request in email the other day for a graphic of the Dar and Kerry ID tags that Terri and I made up for the Santa Monica Convention. The top two tags are my version and the bottom two are Terri's version. If you'd like to make up these tags for yourself, just click the mini picture here and you'll get the graphic on your screen. PLEASE NOTE that it's BIG at about 385K. That's because it's sized at 360 dpi so it will print nicely. Just save it to your disk and then print it. The easiest method I can think of to print it would be to just insert it into a Microsoft Word document. Just be sure the margins are set wide enough so that it will import at 100% and not be rescaled smaller. Let the finished print(s) dry thoroughly and then trim them out. Now take those to someplace where they can laminate luggage tags and then add a chain from your favorite hardware store or some other thingie to hang them around your neck. Voila!


February 16th, 1999: I'm back from Canada. Things went okay for the most part. It was a nice trip. In any case, I came back to my least favorite project and have been occupied with that.
Some time last week, I put up a "best-of" Santa Monica page with a quickie link page to photos 1-30. That's it for now!

January 29th, 1999: Here's my latest Santa Monica 99 scans...

You can see images 001 throught 015 online at this temporary page. The one's linked here are my personal faves to date. There's still film coming back this weekend...

That's all there is here! Thanks for reading.
