Newer Update: (11/17/00) – The voting has really taken off and now stands at 50/50.
If I can find the original print, I will rescan it at a higher resolution so I can create Bighead4.jpg to blow the competition away. I will recount the votes however many times it takes until my candidate wins.
The voting now stands at Bighead3.jpg=71% and Bighead2.jpg=29%. I guess I shouldn’t have posted results earlier as that seems to have affected the voting since then, swinging the edge wildly toward Bighead3.
I’d like to thank everyone for your valuable feedback. Your Complaints/Praise/Suggestions/Problem Reports are really appreciated.
I’ve just added a couple more photos of the kids and since someone asked for more photos of Michelle and I, I have added a page of our famous Self-Portraits. Michelle dug around in some old photos and found a bunch of pictures we took of ourselves. I hope you like them, Julie!
Luckily, she also found some old photos of some of the early works of Digital Boomerang Systems. I scanned some in and added them to the Boomerangs page.
I’ve added a very preliminary Holly page to the mostly-empty Family page.
And lastly, I have added a new form on the Contact Us page where you can enter your email address if you want to be kept up-to-date on any changes made to the site. Kind of hokey, but some people are really interested.
The photo everyone’s been waiting for has arrived! Well, sort of. I couldn’t find the original Bighead1.jpg that caused such a stir in 1994, but I have used my photo doctoring skills to create a pretty good likeness. Actually, there are two choices and I’m letting you, the public, vote on which one is best. Go here to check them out and vote.
Added the Videos page under the Graphics page. There are some morphing videos and an old Digital Boomerang Systems logo video. Check it out.
I have received complaints about the Boomerang page being blank. To placate these individuals, I scanned in several boomerangs and finally started on the page. Scanning in the boomerangs was incredibly tough because I had to do it in two or more pieces and cut-and-paste them together. Oh, how I wish I had a digital camera!
I also added a list of links to the bottom of this page for people thinking about setting up their own websites. (Michelle told me that some of her co-workers had asked about it.)
Well… I guess technically its Wednesday, and this is a pretty big change so I’m putting it up here by itself. What’s the big change? If you’ve been here before, you’ve probably already noticed the difference. After some constructive criticism, I got rid of the banner across the top of the page and moved the logos around a bit. The top banner was wasting a bit of space. When I finally viewed the page at 1024×768, I saw that things were a little more cramped than I had intended. Now there is a little more room for content without having to scroll around the page so much.
So… This is the new layout. If you want to compare to the old layout, you can click here to see the old version. Let me know what you think. (I guess I need to test at lower resolutions more often.)
I finally started on the Graphics page. So far IÂ have added some doctored photos and some 3D renderings, but expect more here soon.
I have added many DSL Speed Tests and Tweaks links along with Internet/Networking security links.
The hit counter seems to be working correctly now. (The reason it wasn’t working is that I was manually copying files to my web server directory. When I started using FrontPage’s “Publish Web” function, it started working like a beauty.) I also created a custom counter graphic to make the counter match the style of the rest of the site. See the bottom of this page. I cleaned up the links page a bit and sorted my favorite links into categories since Aaron finally bought a DVD player. I added the old “Falls Creek” photos to the Miscellaneous section of the Photos page. I created a DVD Page that is now accessible from the links page.
Got some excellent feedback from “Other Andrew” (Mr. Tauhert) today. I have thrown away all my HTML and totally redesigned the site from scratch. Hope you like the new look! I also made the look into a FrontPage “theme”, so whenever I create new pages, they all automatically look like this one.
I also spent some time today working on the links section and customizing the “Contact Us” form. I changed the menu/contents bar on the left again, mainly so I could add a “links” button.
Astute readers will also notice that this “Site News” section didn’t exist before and the dates and news are probably made up.
