Revision History
The house of fun is a live
site. It is always under construction. I add to it in sporadic attacks, which
i regret were much more frequent when I was not working full time. However,
i have no plans to ever abandon the house; and if the occasion were to somehow
arise, i would either give it a decent burial (ie. take it down) or put a
very clear notice on it explaining its status.
Here is a list of the more recent updates. It's largely for my own amusement,
seeing as i generally figure that the counter ticks over by some strange digital
voodoo.
Change listing
Update; main additions/changes :
2008
- 2008.09.08; Added some quotes.
- 2008.01.28; Retired the old 'red crosses' image from the main page. For now there's an old, poorly cropped version of the broken angel... will have to find my original scans or prints and redo it i think! But it'll do for now.
2007
2006
- 2006.01.10; Obligatory Guestbook sadly closed due to sudden onset of massive comment spam syndrome. Lycos tech suport admitted straight out there was no way to stop the spam, so it's gone. I've saved the posts, maybe I'll put them back up sometime.
2005
2004
2003
- 2003.11.20; Added a musing.

and a backdated pair of quizzes.

- 2002.03.16; More work on the cyberpunk
page... finally, it's all converted to the new design! Plus I've
revised various bits of content on the way through.
- 2003.03.07; Added the vault.
The Vault incorporates various pages which won't be developed any further,
but I like to keep online. It actually incorporates all the local content
of the old "collaborations" section; so that section is gone now.
- 2003.02.28; Added a musing.
- 2002.02.21; Added to funny
shit.
- 2002.02.15; More work on the cyberpunk
page.
- 2002.01.24; More work on the cyberpunk
page.
- 2003.01.03; Cut the index of the cyberpunk
homepage over to a new look. Am still working to roll it out through
the whole cyberpunk site. Didn't feel like waiting forever to have time
to finish it off :) I also added a photo to the semi-hidden photos-of-me
page.
- 2003.01.01; Added a musing.
2002
2001
- 2001.12.22; Added a quote.
- 2001.12.21; Added another musing.
- 2001.12.17; Set up a better browser warning system. Removed
the old warning/upgrade page.
- 2001.12.16; Added another musing. Changed the content on the
'mailme' and 'info about me' pages. Also fixed up the guestbook somewhat,
after leaving it languishing for some time.
- 2001.12.13; Three new musings. Phew.
- 2001.12.05; Uploaded a musing; lots of work getting the Funny
Shit section into shape - this is bigger than I thought :)
- 2001.11.03; Finally... a long-needed technical overhaul of the
Funny Shit section. Plus I added a bunch of funny stuff while I was at it.
- 2001.10.30; Added a quote and photos of my new car.
- 2001.10.20; Added a musing.
- 2001.10.07; Added the INDUSTROTANK photos on Viewfinder.
- 2001.09.21; Just when you thought it was safe... something posessed
me to add to my goth rants. Then i lost it completely and set up a blogger
to catch all the random links.
- 2001.09.14; Added a browser sniffer and an upgrade suggestion
page... will see if i still like the idea after i've tested it some more.
- 2001.09.07; Added a musing; and the crowd goes wild...
- 2001.09.03; Added a musing; updated the links page. Am starting
to convert date format across the site to the less ambiguous YYYY.MM.DD
- silly bloody yanks and your MM.DD.YY :)
- 2001.08.03; Lots of little stuff, mainly just whipping the CSS
into shape and stuff. Also working on the text on pages like the Event Horizon
page (collaborations). Oh yeah, and I added to heretic's little instruction
book and stuck the guestbook back on the site (miscellaneous).
- 2001.06.15; New index/entry page, with the angel wing.
- 2001.06.04; New design. Where to start? The site is now
using CSS, it has a new homepage, nav trails at the bottom of each page,
decent html.... I have learned a lot since I started writing this page,
and boy does my old html make me cringe. I've learned to close tags, for
instance.
- 2001.06.03; Changed the counter from an Ultimate Counter back
to a Webcounter. I can only guess at the number of hits lost while it was
down, but I've worked off the last definitely known value and restarted
the clock from 6000 hits. I know it actually had some more but hey, I'd
rather lose some hits than cheat on the count. Various other bits and pieces
on the page were tinkered with; a few funky links added, that sort of thing.
- 2001.04.12; Fairly hefty technical update. Not much that you'd
actually see, other than the hour or so where nothing worked and I sat around
alternately redialling and swearing.
2000
- 2000.11.30; Added another musing.
- 2000.10.31; Added to poetry.
- 2000.05.08; Added another musing.
- 2000.05.07; Added another musing.
- 2000.03.21; Finally added a musing i wrote last December.
- 2000.02.04; Updated quotable, added the 15th "Going Crazy in
the Suburbs".
- 2000.01.04; Added poetry 2000.
1999
- 1999.10.10; Updated quotable and demoscene.code, plus a few
other tweaks.
- 1999.08.30; Added to Pure Heresy and prose.
- 1999.08.18; The new look Pure Heresy page goes online. I broke
it up after noticing the html alone had grown to over 100k...
- 1999.07.31; Removed Frankenstein from fonts list.
- 1999.07.25; The Window of the Soul added. The Tycho page moved
to its new home - http://tycho.gil.com.au/.
- 1999.07.17; Added a musing, and a couple more poems. Note that
various additions have been made to the Tycho Brahe page since it was first
added.
- 1999.07.06; Added a couple of poems, one font, a little instruction
and generally tweaked a lot of stuff.
- 1999.06.23; Did away with the bloodbar spacer... time to move
on, i feel.
- 1999.06.15; Added the "my room 97" photos. For my own amusement,
that's why. I also added Poetry '99 a while back, sometime in April I guess.
View that one with Viner Hand ITC loaded for the full effect...
- 1999.06.07; Added the first unofficial tycho brahe fanboy
page.
- 1999.05.03; Added a couple of back-dated musings.
- 1999.04.13; Legalese added, plus a musing. I also fixed that
"Abducted from the Key of X" link which must have been broken, well, ever
since I put it online. Plus, I changed return to main links from subpages
so they take you back to their category. That took ages. Be grateful. Failing
that, try to care for a second or two. Thank you.
- 1999.04.12; demoscene.code v1.03 posted.
- 1999.03.16; i finally bit the bullet and put cyberpunk
online, so go look at it for sod's sake :). i also fooled around with the
main graphics. don't know if that was a good idea.

bookmarks file... oh, and happy new year all :)
Dates correspond to when the page/update was written, not necessarily the
day they're uploaded. Minor updates probably won't get a separate listing;
and links/funky links will never get a listing unless I throw the entire lot
out and start again or something. Just thought i'd point that out. Who knows,
it's possible that someone somewhere may actually give a shit.
Hey, i said possible.
This lot might be reordered from oldest-newest into newest-oldest....
when I have had more sleep.
