Hurricane Frances

Yes, this site is hosted in Orlando, and as you know, there is another hurricane moving it’s way. This time, I am well prepared and have backed up everything, just in case (even though the datacenter is in a big, hurricane-proof building.)

There will be 5 people operating the servers down there to ensure they stay up. So the site may be down for a bit if Orlando loses power, but only until they get generators going.

I wish everyone down in Florida the best of luck to cope with these disasters.

New Menus

I was sick of the old menus and the retarded text links that were on all of my pages. So I decided to make one image with nice buttons – something that matches the site layout. Then, I mapped links into the image and bingo, we have a nice new navigation menu. Redoing the menus was in my mind for the past year, but I was either too tired, too lazy or lacked the knowlege to do it well. I tried it a while ago unsucessfully and it was horrid. Now, I think it’s decent.

I also did another big update that isn’t not noticable to you people. It’s useless for me to explain the technical stuff here, but all you need to know is that if I ever need to change the menus again, I’d only need to edit one thing and not twenty individual pages. This involved changing some page names around, along with switching from html to shtml. Since I’m not perfect, it’s possible that there might be dead links on this site. As far as I know, everything’s okay but if you click on a dead link, help me out and report it on the forums.
