• October 18, 2000: Nothing new added, but a quick site-related note here. You may have noticed that many of the images on my page are impossible to find -- the links are broken. Well, the images are in fact on my website, but a check of GeoShitties shows that for some reason, image links have to include the account name in them, instead of just a direct link. This would mean that I would have to go through all of my image-related files and change the links, and then, to add pain to misery, I wouldn't be able to edit my links easily at home. Fuck that's stupid! If you'd like to see images that aren't showing up, please be patient -- I'm waiting for a response from GeoShitties. I'm also looking into other web hosts (again).

• November 31, 1999, 3:00 am: Okay, kind of in honor of the 10,000th 'hit' on this site, I've added a few things. The biggest one (at least bandwidth-wise) is a new map of Known Space. Be careful when downloading it -- it's quite a big file. Due to this, I've updated a few other files around here to reflect its availability. I've also made a minor change on the page describing my mascot image. I have also added a couple new photos to my page of photos. I've also been dabbling with changing the background image here, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I've obviously added a Chinese button to the front page to make it more obvious to non-English speakers that there is another language for all this. But this is not really because I've gotten up to the 10,000 mark, it's just because I finally got the stuff kind of done. And anyway, how many of those hits have just been me?

• September 4, 1999, 3:15pm: Added a link to the Ubik page in the section about Philip K. Dick on my Science, Science Fiction and Gaming page. Added a link to the newly-reactivated Oriental TG Girls page on my page about Gender.
• September 2, 1999, 4:15 am: Added a page about my feelings for the Chinese word commonly translated as "drag queen" or "transvestite," but really being closer to "shemale" in its connotations. Fuck, Chinese people can be so insensitive! (Note that this page is written in Chinese, and requires a Chinese Big5-equipped viewer to read.) I'm working on a page about East Asian culture, but it'll take a while.
• August 28, 1999, 12:45 pm: Changed the look of the front/main page a little (better-looking title).
• August 27, 1999, 3:00 am: Added this page. Added a link to this page on the front/main page.
• August 26, 1999, late at night sometime: Added a few links in the Real Science section of my Science Fiction, Science and Roleplaying Games page. Added an entry in my Journal. Changed the look of themain/front page ever so slightly. Added a few links to my pile of randomness.
• Prior to August 26, 1999: Lost to the murky depths of time. Okay, lost to the murky depths of my memory.
