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 I  have added some doctored photos and some 3D renderings,
but expect more here soon.

The kids’ new school photos are here

I have bought a new scanner so expect the Photos page to grow tons in the coming weeks.

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.

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.

I’ve started working on the Photos page, so you can

I’ve started working on the Photos page, so
you can see a few photos there now, with tons more to come later. I’ve got a lot
of scanning to do. I also added a hit counter to this page, but it seems to get
reset every time I make an update. I’ll look into that soon.

The BruceArmstrong.net logo above started out to be a throw-away

The BruceArmstrong.net logo above started out to be a throw-away
space filler, but with a little tweaking, I got it to really match the feel of
the site and I think I’ll keep it. I also changed the color of the spinning
ba” logo. Some people might be annoyed by spinning and
flashing graphics, so I’ll try to keep stuff tasteful.

Right now the Games link is about the only one

Right now the Games
link is about the only one with any content. And when you get to that page
you’ll see that the custom game content (tracks, levels, paint jobs) that is meant to
be there isn’t there
yet.
