Reworked the website in mysterious and hidden ways.
The outline is now automatically generated as opposed
to manually entered, so that I can add web pages without
creating new outline entries. Got rid of any notion of
keeping a per-user id, which was vestigal anyways,
and now fully use cookies to keep track of the outline
expanded and collapsed state, the version numbers of pages viewed,
and so on. Cleaned Up and factored all the perl code
on the site, as well as all my other sites and on my
local machine (deploy.cgi, compare.cgi, sync.cgi) by
creating two perl modules phCommon.pm and phUtils.pm which
provide libraries of common functions. Also provided RedirectMatch
clauses to httpd.conf to remap any moved pages so that if you have bookmarks
to the moved pages, you should automatically be taken to
their new location.
You shouldn't really notice anything. But it really
was a fairly major change to the website.
By the way, these changes will invalidate any existing cookies,
and hence will cause users (you) to lose all their history, and
thus will cause a bunch of items to appear as "updated" that
have not really changed . Therefore I thought
I'd mention that You can get rid of the red exclamation
points and the red What's New! link
at any time by clicking the
Clear What's New link in the bottom left hand corner of
any of my webpages.
Theoretically, when you visit my site, you should only have to click
the red What's New! link to go to each changed page,
in order. Clicking the red What's New link is not the same as
viewing this What's New page ... it actually takes you to the
changed web pages!!. When you have viewed them all,
the red link and all the red exclamation points should disappear.
Then if you come back to the site, and you don't see the red
What's New link then it means that nothing has changed
and you don't have to waste any to see if you've missed something.
Get it?
So I hope you'll take advantage of this feature. Clear the What's New
status when you have viewed the site today, and when you return, you
should only see new items that I've changed since your last visit.

setting up site infrastructure and security.

After a long hiatus I added the

retired now!! As such I hope to be spending most of my time making music, so look forward
to updates to the band and music pages in the near future!
|
| May 22, 2002 |
Added the
Chris's Vacation Box page, but mostly have been diddling with the
very first link on the main page, while wondering what to do about the forgotten
space website. So for now, the main page on phorton.com is still the best
place to find out about the band. I'll probably be working on the forgotten
space website in the near future.
|
| May 4, 2002 |
For all intents and purposes the site is finished!.
I recently completed the Woodworking branch and will
get around to the Programming branch as time
permints on an ongoing basis.
From now on I will be adding new experiences as they
happen, or shortly thereafter :-)
|
| April 26, 2002 |
Updated/created the whole
Woodworking
branch. Still need to do "workshop" and "woodlinks" pages.
Also did some more work on the strategy for handlling
robots, and got some of the "programming" examples ready
for publishing. Done with almost everything but
the "programming" branch.
|
| April 24, 2002 |
Put up some additional
Travel pages, including
New Years 1999,

for generating keywords.
Gettin there !
Not too much more to go before I'm
caught up and can start experiencing life again!
|

Added links to all recording pages to allow users to play all songs as an album.
Added links to real.com. Added mailto links. Blew off the history again
due to a bug (still trying to keep those pesky robots at bay).
BTW, the site will go "officially" live sometime in the next week or two.
|
| April 17, 2002 |
The
www.forgottspace.com website is active as
of today ! and
www.phorton.net is working again! Everything
is working. Now I just have to complete the content!
|
| April 16, 2002 |
Ported site to my new dedicated server,
being hosted at CIHOST
located in Texas. Instead of paying $29/month for 500M
from SpeedyWeb up in Chicago.
I'm now paying $99/month for a whole goldarned machine!
It's a 900mhz Althion with a 40gig hard disk .. 8 dedicated IP
numbers, and an unlimited number of virtual domains,
hooked up via a 100mpbs network card to a T1 or OC3 or whatever.
I really recommend CIHOST to anyone looking for a good
deal on a chunk of space. They have their ups and downs,
but they have a 24 hour support staff featuring
online chat AND a person you can call on the phone.
|
| April 13, 2002 |
The mailing list and search pages (and any other straight
cgi scripts) are broken because my ISP
changed their cgi execution scheme last night. I probably
wont fix the pages, but will wait to fix them until I have
relocated the page on my own server, www.phorton.net.
The mailing list and search pages have been removed from
the menu.
|
| April 10, 2002 |
Initial full deployment.
See how this goes!
|
| April 4, 2002 |
Pretty much finished working out infrastructure issues.
Parts of the site have been deployed and live-tested.
Still working on content standards, aesthetics, and
have a lot of work to do on the content. I'm
hoping to get enough done this weekend to deploy it
by Sunday night ... hah! We'll see -)
