What's (not so) New:  
  • Feb 27, 2004 - Finally got out for the first time since November. Observing report posted.
  • Feb 20, 2004 - A new year, a new news page. Time for us Michiganders to come put of hibernation and get ready for the Messier Marathon!
  • Nov 17, 2003 - Just moved the server back to Linux, finally couldn't stand Windows anymore. A few things may take a few days to come back.
  • May 10, 2003 - Added "Where is everyone?" link on the left - gives a place for folks around Michigan to get some idea where we all hang our hats.
  • May 7, 2003 - Obviously, added a dynamic "upcoming events" to the top of the main page.
  • May 5, 2003 - Added Planet Finder to the TOC.
  • May 1, 2003 - I rewrote the links engine from scratch based around MySQL - I will be repopulating it and checking the links over the next few days.
  • April 26, 2003 - I finally came out of winter hibernation, dug the scope out of the garage. Reports for the weekend are up in the "Observing Reports" section.
  • April 25, 2003 - Moving to a new server. It's a Windows server rather than Linux, which I don't really like, but it gets me down to one computer instead of two, so sacrifices are made. Still running Apache as the web server, so it's a fairly easy transition.
  • September 23, 2002 - Modified chart number routine to do Sky Atlas 2000 chart numbers as well.
  • September 22, 2002 - Put up a C subroutine in the "software" area to give Uranometria 2nd edition chart numbers given the RA and Dec of an object.
  • September 21, 2002 - Went to the Fox Park Observatory's Star-B-Q with the family last night. Pictures are here.
  • September 20, 2002 - I've been trying to de-uglify this page. I hope I'm getting somewhere with this effort :-)
  • September 17, 2002 - Built a quick CGI app to automate "Observing Reports" page - they're automatically indexed, sorted in reverse order, as soon as I post them to the "reports" directory. When displayed they automatically get a counter at the bottom. Also, I put up this morning's report.
  • September 15, 2002 - Cleaned up "Links" section - dead links have been removed, some links have been replaced, a few added.
  • September 14, 2002 - Added "Photo archive" link on left bar. Contains mainly photos of events.
  • September 13, 2002 - Review of "Deep Sky Wonders" added in "book reviews." Check it out, buy the book.
  • August 30,2002 - I'm now using a computer to take notes in the field, which means I actually have legible, searchable notes. Expect to see regular updates in the "Observing Reports" area.
