Some graphic updates to the site.
A few pages added. Notably the Hall of Other.
Total number of hosted pages: 27
Total available pages: 29
Site Version: 1.09
Script Version: 1.02
Notes: Graphics being updated. A new 'beta version'
CSS file is in testing. Looking to move the entire site to
use the sytle presented in the hall of other. Possible
plans to moves parts of the site into a flat database
with a Perl/CGI based server.
2003/8/4
OK, there have been several page additions over the last few
months, but no major changes. The biggest additions
have been a link to my under-used blog and some pictures.
I am still writing these pages on a Windows machine.
I have fallen in love with the new Mac G5, but
it is not in the budget now. Maybe later... when the
Mac G9 comes out. (sigh...)
Total number of hosted pages: 22
Total available pages: 24
Site Version: 1.01
Script Version: 1.02
Notes: The Test Photo Album
seems to work well, but I am not sure if it is preloading images
properly. I think that it may not be storing images in the cache,
but overwriting them in that same place in the cache, resulting in only
one pre-load! Though, it may be that my computer is just very slow to
process images. Let me know if you have any problems. I still
have some tweaks I want to perform on this script, but who
knows if I will get to it!
2003/5/9
Update after a long pause (due to a dead laptop). Pages now being
edited in a windows text editor. I miss Linux and VI.
Site update to 1.01. Japanese page added. Japanese
text written with Microsoft Front Page. Still missing
my Linux machine.
Total number of hosted pages: 19
Total available pages: 20
Site Version: 1.01
Script Version: 1.02
Notes: I want to post some new information on the
Pontiac side of the site. Some ideas in the works, but nothing new
yet. I would really like to get a scanner, and that would help
all parts of the site, but I am still not sure what I will do about
my lack of a Linux machine. Computers and parts are expensive...
2003/4/13
Script fix for Master.js to open external pages in a new
window. However, external pages are counted as thecamshaft.net
pages by the counting function. Guestbook (finally) added.
The Guestbook is hosted by
Lycos.com
as a HTML Gear.
Total number of hosted pages: 18
Total available pages: 19
Site Version: 1.00
Script Version: 1.02
Notes: I may change the way the page counter works later. But,
for now, it is counting external links (ie, the guestbook) as well.
Perhaps I should put up a separate counter for 'hosted' pages and
available pages. This does not include links to other sites.
2003/4/12
A picture page for food added. Script fix (actually made
before this date) for the new window function on the links
page. Update gives much needed scroll-bars.
Total number of pages: 18
Site Version: 0.99a
Script Version: 1.01
Notes: I have begun to think of a new design for this
site. Though, because I would have to re-write everything,
I doubt it will happen in the near future. (Especially because
I want to use PHP in the next version.)
2003/3/27
Two pages added: An HTML List Generator and a repository for
previous Pontiac pages. Several updates to the Pontiac pages.
My favorite feature in this update is the list generator. If you
know a bit of HTML and want to make a list, this may be a good
time saver for you. Then again, it might not. Really, I just
wanted a project to program.
Minor updates to other pages. Total number of pages: 17
Site Version: 0.99a
Script Version: 1.01
Notes: This update made no changes to the master.js file
except to add links. Special scripts are 1-page only.
2003/3/6
Problem with page numbers resolved. (led to links that went to the wrong
pages. All together now: Doh!) A checkbox has been added to link
pages that allows the user to select where to open the link. Maybe
I will change this function to open a full-featured window. (Now, it
opens without the menu / navigator bar.)
Minor updates to other pages. Total number of pages: 15
Site Version: 0.99a
Script Version: 1.01
Notes: Repository for previous homepages still in the works.
There is a page for it
(Home Archive),
but there is nothing really on it yet!
2003/2/21
Button function overhauled. It now writes the buttons in a specified
order and moves the current page to the top of the list. Any sublinks will
be written underneath it. (Go to the Pontiac portion of the site to see
it in action). Also, a function has been included to count the number of
available pages on the site. (See the top of this page.)
Several pages have been added. Unfortunately, they are not as complete as
I would like due to time constraints. ...or at least that is the reason I
am telling you.
Added pages: Links, Pontiac, Pontiac: Service, Pontiac: Links.
Site Version: 0.99
Script Version: 1.01
Notes: Problems noted with the prototype Pontiac Quiz from the
previous version. MS Explorer doesn't give large enough JavaScript prompt
boxes. Works fine in Netscape.
2003/2/14
JavaScript finally updated to version 1.0. New functions include a basic window
opener, a date function, and a fully random icon generator. As of yet,
the icon generator does not generate any image specific to the content,
though, this feature may be added. For the next version, the window opener
and the date function will be refined.
A picture page has been added to the site and a protype of the Pontiac
quiz is available. (Prototype Quiz).
Please note that this link may not work in future updates as the location
may change.
As for the site itself, additional reviews and bio information have been posted.
The index page has been outfitted with META tags to make the site searchable.
I am debating about adding META to all pages on the site or just a select few...
Site Version: 0.99
Script Version: 1.0
Notes: While the Java Script has been updated, I am still developing
content. The above mentioned Quiz program will be honed for the Pontiac
portion of the site. I have many pages I would like to add, including a
Page for writings and for Flash Media, but as of now they are not up. There
are few pictures on the pictures pages as transferring from Cell-Phone camera
to email to Internet Cafe computer to disk to home computer and back to the
Internet Cafe's computer for upload to the site is time consuming and
annoying, so there are few pictures right now. Expect a drop down box
in the next version to choose picture pages. This will require an Java
Script program. More details later.
2003/1/31
Button writing function updated to use Arrays though no change should
be evident to the user. Why am I writing this? The bio page has received a bit
more attention... Basics for a random icon loader incorporated into the master
javascript file, but function is not used yet.
Construction of a pop-up window generation begun. This function will be used
to provide links to content, such as large images, that are hard to incorporate
into the usual viewing area. Function's name to be imageboy.
Site Version: 0.9
Script Version: 0.96
Notes: With this version a few spelling mistakes were corrected in the body
of the site, though I did not think it warranted an update to the site version.
Thinking about adding CGI functionality to the site. Though,
adding content is key right now. This version not published.
2003/1/22
Script is updated to version 0.95 which includes a message function for the
button bar and a icon/picture function for loading images at the top left
corner. Only one icon is available with this version. Next version should
include a function to select a picture based on the page number or content.
All pages updated to use the new script.
Change Log page (this page) added to document site changes.
Site Version: 0.9
Script Version: 0.95
Notes: I would like to add a 'Last Modified' function to the bottom
of every page. This function may come later, though will be hosted locally
(not in the master.js file.)
2003/1/17
Site goes online using
Tripod
servers.
Site Version: 0.9
Script Version: 0.9
Notes: Site design is borrowed heavily from a previous site I designed.
Though I had a new design, it was ugly, so I decided to recycle. Trust me,
its better this way.
