         Culture page updates.
 

February 19, 2003

         I moved the Columbia memorial out of the central focus of
         the main page and into the "Diatribe of the Moment" box.
         Also, changed the counter to opening day for the Astros and
         updated the culture page.

         Changed the countdown timer to the Daytona 500.

         Culture page updates.
 

January 24, 2003

         I noticed that my ASP pages were loading extremely slowly.
         I played with the code to try to speed them up, but then I
         discovered that I could get a counter from my hosting
         company with a simple line of HTML code, so I removed
         the entire ASP counter setup.  The guestbook is still ASP/
         Access based, though.

         More changes:  The Weather Underground banners were
         getting to where they wouldn't show up most of the time,
         so I switched them to banners from The Weather Channel.
         They don't look as good, but hopefully they'll be more
         reliable.  I also went through and updated the Links page.

         I fixed the counter problem by switching from trying to use the
         Front Page Extensions counter to an ASP/MS Access based
         counter.  That done, Gad's Place.COM was ready to go live.
         I changed the main page of the SBC site to a redirector, and
         now here we are!
       

January 19, 2003

         Gad's Place.COM is now up.  I still have some issues to work
         out (namely the hit counter), though, so the SBC Prodigy hosted
         site is still the primary location for now.  So far, only one major
         change due to the migration:  the guestbook is automated again,
         thanks to the wonders of ASP pages and MS Access.  Rather
         than try to import all the old entries, though, I just left them up
         under the name "Old Guestbook."

         Exciting news (for me, anyhow): Gad's Place will probably be
         moving again soon.  More details later.  Don't expect much in
         the way of updates to anything until then.
