13 December 2006:

• The Septerra Core guide is progressing much more slowly than I at first anticipated. It'll be done "when it's done." I promise.
• In the mean time, there have been at least two dozen suggestions of "..." for my next project. Your cries have been heard, and I'm happy to provide. So here you go ...

21 November 2006:

• I've been contacted by someone who wants to help re-vamp my FF8 guide. Sounds promising. If it works, I may even have to play it again. Stay tuned.
• My stuff finally arrived in my new apartment. So nice to see it after having had it stuffed in storage the last seven years. Check it out in my Gallery section.

4 September 2006:

• I've changed they way my "Gallery" works. Instead of the plug-in software, I'm now writting the pages by hand. I can better control where pictures go that way. The picture size is smaller as well, so they should load faster. I've also added pictures from my most recent move from LAX to DFW. Check it all out here, or by clicking the Gallery button over on the right
• I've finished the Septerra Core walkthrough page, but I'm not too happy with the way it turned out. It has you going places and doing stuff without a clue as to why. I plan on re-writing it so it makes more logical sense. Bear with me.

8 August 2006:

• Two more votes have come in for Septerra Core, giving it the majority. I've also stumbled upon some previous work on it, and I'm further along that I remembered. So there you have it. My next project is a Septerra Core guide/walkthrough! You can see what I've got so far here. I expect it'll take a couple more months to complete. As always, feedback is welcome.
