I got the whole site rocking and rolling again. Expect nothing from me in the next few days besides this update. I have to figure out how this whole thing works again. You are good to have stuck with me for all of this time... Good for me to POOP ON!!!!!!. So, until next time.

Busy at work again on several projects besides this one. I've been doing some more work on the Honeymoon site, as well as photo albums and such. I've added a couple of entries to the Company Mottos page by myself and Redwdsdrmr. Other than that, I haven't done sh*t. So, until next time...

Long time since an update. I forgot to register for E3 before the April 7th deadline so I'm not going to go. I can't believe they're charging $150 US to get in since I missed the early registration period. The main reason for the delay in an update and for me missing E3 was the fact that I got married. Yup, I did the deed on the 1st and we spent the next night on a plane to St. Lucia Sandals Golf Resort and Spa. The past 12 days couldn't have been better. First off, the wedding went well, and everyone seemed to enjoy it and the food. Secondly, the honeymoon was incredible. We definitely got our money's worth. Finally, because we got a lot of great gifts from everyone which we will be sending Thank You cards to soon. We can't thank everyone enough for everything they have done for us and this marriage. I am slowly but surely working on a Honeymoon site, which will highlight the resort that we went to and the people we met while being there. So, until next time...

Added a couple of more Redwdsdrmr entries to the Company Mottos page. Nothing else to speak of at the moment. Work sucks, and then you die. So, until next time...

I've been learning Flash 4 lately. Hopefully you  can see some Flashy goodness on my site sometime soon. I've also been pretty busy tying things together for my big day coming up in the next couple of weeks. I'm hammering out a songlist for the reception, which should be quite a blast. If I get a chance, I just might post the list so you will know what to expect. For now I've just been pretty lazy at home because I am working like a maniac at the office. Or as I prefer to call it 'the orifice'. I'm doing 16 hours of work in a 8 hour period, usually without a break or lunch. I feel like I'm on a software development team rushing to go gold. Don't expect to see a whole lot of updates to the site in a few weeks. Now, I am going to go drink some beer and get positively piss-drunk. Is there any other way to be? So, until next time...

Okay, my site has been frame free for awhile, but I've been in Reno, NV for the past couple of weeks on business. I will get back to that in a minute. I have text navigation back on my site for those few of you without java-enhanced browsers. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Other than that, the usual code tweaking was taking place before I left, and the Games page is undergoing a reconstruction. Now, about Reno, NV. I was staying at the Reno Hilton which is terrible for gambling but great for food and drink. I met a lot of really great people out there and would like to thank Billy for his bartending prowess. The slots are a lot more loose downtown which is only minutes away from the Reno Hilton. I'm not much of a gambler though because I always lose. A few people I was working with out there won over $100, and one guy hit $1000. Over all the trip was a success, and the business end of it wasn't too bad either. The only bad thing about the trip was the dry dry dry dry dry dry dry dry air. It was cold and dry, and that just leads to sore throats and general feelings of crapiness. If I was given the chance to go back I would, but for now I like the weather back home. While I was away, I got a new Guitar World magazine, as well as my long awaited ART Tube MP from Zzounds. I hope I get a chance to mess with it later this weekend. Right now, I feel like crap so I am going to call it a day. So, until next time...

I have discovered a new java script navigation system. I believe that this is the last straw for my old buttons and my frames. I can now be tripod friendly. For the moment, things are probably going to look a little ugly, until I get the whole thing straightened. So, just bare with me. I am going to be out of town in a few days for a couple of weeks, so I might not be able to update for awhile. For now, enjoy the new navigation and feel free to e-mail me your thoughts, comments, or suggestions. So, until next time...

Monday, February 21, 2000
Okay, I am getting the site back in shape now. I still am planning on getting rid of the frames, but haven't quite figured out a good way to do that yet. I have a new song sketch on Ogre's Audio. The new one is called Slow n Low, because that's what it is. Hope you like it. The changes are still coming, but like I said it's going to take me some time. I'm just one man. So, until next time...

Well well well, the Dr. has been kicked off of Xoom. I have moved back to Tripod for the moment and it looks like this may be my permanent home. I am going to be fixing the site so that it looks good in Tripod by removing the frames. This is going to take me some time, so please be patient. I am also going to be unveiling new navigation buttons concurrently with the site overhaul. Thank you to the morons at XOOM whom you can e-mail your venom to for me. So, until next time...

Created a new section to the site today. Welcome the Thingies page to the fold. Here I will have a collection of all miscellaneous items on my site. I am toying with having my bandnames page move here, but haven't made up my mind completely yet. My friend Zjimbo has completely redid his JuJu web site and has moved it to xoom.com like myself. He did a really good job of creating a true themed site. I have some ideas for this site as well, but that's down the road a little. Ultimately, I would like to learn Shockwave and add some Flash content to the site. I think it would be really sharp to have a trip to hell as my splash screen/intro page. Until then, you'll just have to sit back and deal with the site in its current iteration. So, until next time...

Been away for a week on business. I was stuck in Lawrence stinking Kansas from last Sunday until late Friday night. At least the beer's cold there, but so is the snow. Everyone there thought I was completely nuts since I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the snow. Kansas is so slow-paced that I've seen gra$$ grow faster than these people move. I finished Quake 3 Arena yesterday, which was pretty cool. Xaero wasn't as tough of a challenge as I thought. I'll be posting some screenshots of the final battle later today. You'll notice that I keep catching him in a specific spot. With a quick flick of the mouse you can get him every time. Try this technique yourself and see what you can come up with. I'm not sure what kind of replay value the game is going to have, but it was fun while it lasted. So, until next time...

Ok, I was playing Quake 3 Arena today, and decided to take some screenshots and make a site for it in the Games page. So, if you click on the Quake 3 Arena link on the Games page, prepare to be transported to the new site. It's a welcome addition to an ever growing project. I haven't decided if I am going to go back and make sites about older games yet. I probably will not, but you never know. I also finally put those pics up on the Nine Inch Nails site. There's only three of them, but they are kind of rare photos. At least, I haven't seen them on the net before, and I scanned them myself. So, until next time...

Well, where does one begin. I didn't like the style of pages on the Skinny Puppy pages, so I changed them to match more with the rest of the site. I revamped most of the pics on the site to be in .gif format to save space. I also started using Gif Lube to cut down on file size since Gif Wizard has started charging for the same service. I finally added a Jane's Addiction and Primus link to the Bands page, so check it out. I also created some other small graphics to throw in here and there. You'll know when you see them. Most of the work I did today was cosmetic to the site as a whole. In going through my files I found some content that I didn't even know I had. Expect to see it posted under the Nine Inch Nails page soon. So, until next time...

Thursday, February 03, 2000
Ok, on with the continuation of adding content content content. I have began making comments and recommendations on the Bands page. You will notice small comments added on each bands site, as well as under specific albums to be popping up soon. Possibly even reviews of each album to come in the future. I have also started a little Legend of Dr. Kevorkian page under the Games site. Check it out from time to time for some good fun. Since I got my old web publishing working again, expect more updates than ever before, as well as a whole new slew of things to check out, read, and laugh at. I also made an image map for My Gear page so go check it out. So, until next time...

Woo hoo!!! I got everything to work on Xoom now. I will replace my original site with a splash page to this site. My new host is not as much of a pain as my old one, and it hasn't complained about file sizes yet. I also took care of some minor error messages that I was getting before. Also expect to see a page last updated thingy on here for every page. I also put another project on My Audio page that was actually my first one, but I was just too lazy to upload it until now. So, until next time...

Alright, I have had to make another adjustment in how I am publishing. This is really frustrating, but what is one to do. I made a button for all of you to put on your own pages. This will be the Hell button with which to link my site. You can grab it from the Home Page. So, until next time...

Friday, January 28, 2000
Okay, I have started using my old HTML editor again. I thought I had lost it, but alas it was on a CD-R I hadn't browsed in a while. I will now be doing some really interesting things with my site. I plan on moving the entire site over to two new hosts as mirrors. I figure that I can get better exposure that way, and eventually the original site will be shutting down for good. I have a new song sketch that I posted to Ogre's Audio through my Guitar page. Check it out, you might like it. So, until next time...

Monday, January 24, 2000
Okay, a little bit more on the graphics front today. I decided that I didn't like two things about my site today. One was that the Guitar page was getting too long for my tastes. Ignore the length of this page, because this page doesn't count. The other thing was that the Blue links of old were too hard to read against the black background. So I went around the entire site and changed all of the links to an orangy-fire-like color. I think it fits the page much nicer. Now, what about the Guitar page you ask? Simple remedy, quick new page, quick graphic change, and a cut & paste. Viola, instant gratification. I did want to keep a pic of my guitar on the main page though, so I shrunk it down for you, and it is now a link to My Gear page. And as an added bonus, you get a little .wav file in the Guitar area. So, until next time...

Friday, January 21, 2000
More fun with graphics today. Check out the cool little DHTML script for the Juju site. It's pretty cool. My buddy Zjimbo found a place called Dynamic Drive that has some nice work available for your own sites. Check it out if you get a chance, I know that I will. Anyway, I got a lot of stuff going on besides working on this page. I will be getting hitched on, yes you guessed it, April Fool's Day 2000. Why that date you ask? Slap yourself in the head with a porkpie hat filled with hamburger and fresh juju, the answer should be obvious. I shall demonstrate using simple mathematics (I took the date format 4/1/00 and made it into the integer 4100 below because I can):
4100/6.15615615615615615615615615615616=666 which is the number of the beast. Man, you really can be ignorant sometimes.  But, that's why I tolerate you people I suppose. So, until next time...

Monday, January 17, 2000
I am finally decided on one style of graphics. Now I just have to take the time to customize all of my buttons, etc... I've also created some new animated .gif files and reorganized the main page to fit best at 1280x1024 and higher. I also ended up doing some more work on trimming the site up and getting rid of old ugly graphics.  There are still a few nasties here and there which I will take care of as time allows. So, until next time...

Wednesday, January 12, 2000
I have changed a few things around, nothing that you will really notice. Only some minor graphics changes and small table adjustments. None of you are watching anyway. I gotta make a living too you know.  So, until next time...

Sunday, January 9, 2000
Finally, I have added a sketch of a tune I am working on. I put it in Real Media format so that you can't rip it off as easily as an mp3. I created a page under my Guitar page called Ogre's Audio. This will be the home of any musical projects I decide to share with the world. This is free entertainment folks so don't bitch. You will note that sound quality is not the best it could be, which is another safety measure for me. I don't want anyone out there making money off of my ideas. So, until next time...

Saturday, January 8, 2000
Holy Cow Crap Batman, this site is really making changes. I wasn't kidding when I said I was going to do an overhaul. Today alone I got rid of a ton of crap on the Home page. I decided that I had too much old stuff on it. I am experimenting with new graphics which I am not completely happy with yet. I am still contemplating a giant image map for the main site, but have yet to make one that's decent. Also, watch the other pages for ma$$ive changes. So, until next time...

Friday, January 7, 2000
Okay, I have a new arrival to the Guitar page, which is a new pic of my gear. Missing are my Les Paul copy (Electra) and my most recent acquisitions (Shure SM57, and an actual picture of my Little Smokey amp, so sue me. Besides that, I have decided to begin a slow and painful conversion of the site for streamlining purposes.  Meaning that I will actually be moving images, audio, etc to their own individual directories which is going to take me some time. Other than that, I have been listening to Sausage (which is the original Primus lineup formerly known as Primate) which is good. Besides all of these laborious tasks ahead of me, I will also be putting some samples up of song sketches I am currently working on soon. So, until next time...

Tuesday, January 4, 2000
No real updates to speak of as yet. Gotta go back to work after all of these short weeks with time off. Oh and by the way, to hell with anyone that still tries to keep the doom and gloom of Y2K alive. This includes anyone that says that leap year is going to cause it all to come down too. BTW, I am going to be revamping some of my older graphics files slowly but surely. In fact, expect to see a whole new hell in months to come. So, until next time...
