What's New on the Jump Gate

Recent changes

17 Nov 2002

I've secretly been adding bits to the Doctor Who page. Actually, I just keep forgetting to update the "What's New" page...

24 Apr 2002

Updated the Kris page with pics from the thesis defense!

31 Mar 2002

Updated rat info and added a few new Doctor Who haikus.

14 Aug 2001

Added Kris' IMDB entry.

Added a few TCG icons and title graphics.

9 Aug 2001

As if I didn't have a million other better things I should have been doing, I rearranged the look in my Bio Extract and added "My IMDB entry". I'll be adding one for Kris soon. (Easy, seeing as we appeared in many of the same short films in our youth. Hell, how do you think we met, anyway?

7 Aug 2001

Finished Babylon 5 Season 1 haikus.

Updated the rat page with the deaths of recently departed furries. :-(

Added a few icons for Windows IE bookmarkers.

The heat index in Ann Arbor was at 110 degrees at one point today, which was an ozone action day to boot. On about four hours of sleep, with asthma, I ventured out this morning to get the A/C in my car fixed!

I bought Kris an iMac over the weekend, and we picked up a cable modem and router last month. Maybe we'll start seeing her presence on the web soon.

23 Jul 2001

Wow, time sure does fly. I've had some more rat deaths, and haven't had the chance to update those yet. I'm currently at a NASA NEW Urban workshop at Glenn Research Center. I've begun to put some preliminary work from the workshop in the science area.

I've also put up the first two chapters of my TCG novelette, "The Fandom Menace." Now if I can just make myself write the last few chapters...

6 Dec 2000

Did a quick update to the Rat page to note the sudden passing this morning of our dear little girl, Clarice Ratling. We will miss her a great deal. I also took the opportunity while I was here to add Zaphod's surname into the mix.

12 Nov 2000

We are, of course, well into the school year, so I, of course, have basically forgotten about the web page. Sigh. Well, in a minor fit of procrastination this morning, I separated out the Cool Quotes from the Other Odd Things About Me. I have also made public the on-line wedding invitation that has been sitting in hiding on this site since late 1995. Enjoy.

12 Aug 2000

Separated off my "appearances in print" and added news on some personal appearances to the Bio Page. It all started as I was reading a Doctor Who novel last night, and discovered yet another Tuckerization of me, one that I was not at all expecting, seeing as I don't even know this author.

10 Aug 2000

Removed several dead links from the B5 page and otherwise cleaned it up.

Removed a lot of the old Jump Gate off-site links. A lot are out of date, and, let's face it, search engines are a lot better at finding obscure stuff than they used to be.

Cleaned up the DW page a little and added a link to David McKinnon's entry as math faculty at Tufts University. :)

9 Aug 2000

I finally started to build pages for the other rats, though I still need to add pics and a lot of text. At least this way, I don't have a bunch of broken links.

Hinted at things to come on the TCG page.

6 Aug 2000

La de dah. I wrote a couple of new Dr. Who companion haikus.

31 Jul 2000

Added a few more B5 haiku. I've been back from Colorado less than a week. Good news: Larry Walker found his power stroke and the Rockies finally broke that incredibly long losing streak. Bad news: They were still 2-4 at the games I attended, and Brian Hunter was responsible for at least two of those losses!

30 Jun 2000

Eliminated my sadly outdated baseball page, since it was mainly about a now-defunct simulation league.

Started prepping the Science Education page for upcoming attractions.

28 Jun 2000

Made progress on the B5 and Crusade areas.

26 Jun 2000

Began an overhaul of my B5 page. I'm converting it into a haiku guide to Babylon 5 and Crusade.

We have some new boy rats, so the Rat page has been updated again.

18 Mar 2000

Precious died recently, so I had to update her entry on the Rat page.

Added a page on STELLA models to the Science page.

20 Jan 2000

Minor cosmetic changes to the TCG page. I've got something in development which will be published there in Acrobat (PDF) format, once I finish.

21 Sep 1999

Ratigail died last night. She's been sick with myco for some time, but apparently was also developing uterine cancer. The tumor burst last night, en route to the vet.
