20070303just some minor fix this time:
  • fixed page titles and meta content not being inserted into the pages.
20070109a lot has been bugging me lately:
  • fixed a bug related to cookies in the images and logic game pages. after clicking on an image thumbnail, the navigation bars would completely disappear, and the game didn't work at all...
  • fixed the 'Content-Type' meta tag, where the character encoding contained an illegal value.

20061109changes! changes! changes! what a mess!
it's about time i set up a test site again. developing onsite sometimes leads to strange results - and to bad user experience.
i apologize for any inconveniences you may have experienced yesterday, while i introduced and tested some new features.
coming very soon: blog
i know this is nothing new, but guess how many bloggers actually wrote their software themselves... real blogging is about developing, and it keeps your change logs small.
20061107
  • the entire site is now 'Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional'.
  • extended the stylesheet to cover almost everything related to coloring.
  • added the links page and the blog page. the latter is not running yet, but is bound to open soon. stay tuned!
  • added the first two GIF images to the site (you may need to scroll down to the bottom to spot them).
  • plus too many minor adjustments to list them.
20061106
  • most of this site is 'Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional' now. almost any subpage has been changed already; the remaining flaws will be fixed shortly.
  • made some adjustments on the logic game user interface again. changed the size and alignment of the table there. currently, this is the only "non w3c compliant" page.
20061031
  • made a minor change to the (random) quote page functionality.
  • made a minor fix to the link bar at the top of the page. there has been an empty image included for years, and no one ever noticed...!
20060701
  • fixed the logic game user interface. now the colors are visible in the drop-down menus (in browsers which support this feature).
20030113
  • fixed the cookies. the current image and sis pages were not stored correctly.
  • (temporarily) removed the browser info page, because on this server, it doesn't look the same as on my test server. strange.
20030112
  • removed several thumbnails from the image page and rearranged others. for example, there is a new set called 'Various' which collects some of the formerly single pictures on some sets.
  • the above mainly just happened because i was adding the brand new sis page (Single Image Stereogram), which in turn displays the progress of current rendering and programming efforts. it is, in fact, a growing gallery with comments and additional information!
  • thus i also moved and expanded some functions in the php source.
20021208
  • did a lot of experimenting and testing lately, mainly concerning mysql.
20021201
20021130
  • added tooltips to both the menu and the title bar.
  • added display of the 'code' and some (hidden) options to the logic game (the latter are not fully available to the end user, but try setting 'options=2' in the url - and spot the difference!)
20021123
  • made some more minor changes to the layout, colors and functionality.
  • all pages do now support the status feature; you will see the status indicated by the background colors in the menu bar.
20021122
  • added the about page.
  • the head of the history is displayed as 'latest changes' on the home page now.
  • twiddled layout for iBEEPeBEEP (of course, it tried to fBEEP with the logic game page. you will not have noticed that. - and the page has finally won! :)
  • improved the logic game algorithm, it is conceivably faster now due to a reduction of the search space! (and i did not even bother to touch the lazy data model yet! ;)
  • the history is now to the left of the home page in the menu bar (phhh... - who cares).
  • shrunk the history a little.
  • changed navigation design and link colors.
  • fixed: meta information is actually delivered to the robots (and the browsers) now.
  • fixed: some links were missing the 'index.php' part.
20021119
  • new logic game page (v1.1) is  on !
  • (oh, and i just added this new feature status feature, which is  on  (too - i hope).
  • reformatted the layout a little and fixed a typo :)
20021118
  • had to remove the vote. it did not work (could not access some file on a remote host) - i'm sorry for any inconveniences. :(
20021007
  • i almost forgot to mention that the link bar above has also been redesigned; it now automatically spans more than one table row, if necessary. [this was becoming an urgent task because of the rising number of subpages.]
  • well, i heard that sometimes, the server is too busy puzzling and times out while playing. thus, i reduced the maximum width of the board (you probably won't dare to play a nine row game with eight colors anyway...?!)
20021006
  • added the long awaited logic game page!! -- You gotta see this! (please note that this page may take a while to load due to the heavy number crunching involved, especially when playing on wider boards).
20020221
20020214some minor fixes and improvements:
  • images are now shown in a separate window.
  • errors and user malfunctions are handled correctly now, i hope. :)
  • image index is also automated now.
20020210i used php4 for the first time a couple of days ago.
guess i will rarely use perl again! - LOL
  • now this new stuff is almost ready; it will simplify things quite a lot, and i shall put up new material soon -- so stay a while. :)
  • added a cookie. - can you guess what it is good for? :)
  • removed the 'picture of the week' for good.
  • removed the '19th hole' (quite useless).
  • renamed page called 'changes' (this) to history.
20020130yesterday, i have learned a lesson about ssi (server side includes).
it seems obvious to me now that enabling ssi on any (s)html document causes the web server to create and work with a temporary copy of that page. it thus loses some properties of the original; like, say, the file date.
  • gee, i re-renamed all those .shtml extensions back to .html again; now the last modification date[, were it still] displayed at the bottom of every page [would be] correct again.
  • btw, i still want to upload more movie stuff. -- as soon as i get divx to work together with adobe premiere 6. ;D
20010217
  • added meta information for webbots and the curious.
20010212long awaited:
  • removed thumbnail borders (yeah right, 'border=0' works! - see image pages).
20010206so it took a while (%?#*&!) to get a new ftp password for uploading :/ - heres the news:
  • (finally) uploaded the missing movies.
19990721
  • added an image index, minor additions in related files (anchors).
  • added new page headers with simple navigation functionality.
  • added some more tables (they are almost everywhere now!).
19990716
19990708
  • first version uploaded: quota exceeded, some movies are therefore missing.
