Website Updates
I have some photographs of the towns and landscape around Phillip Island to add, but for now, I've added quite a few new images to the Wildlife gallery (mostly pictures of seals, but also some nesting gulls and kangaroos and even a snake).
I added a new section of links (on the topic of family estrangement) on the main page of the Trinity Pages.
We went into the city today and I got a few nice shots, including a couple of the gorgeous Victorian fountain at the Royal Exhibition Centre, lit up just after dusk. You can see all the new additions to the photo gallery for yourself, of course.
The Fake Tilt Shift images I had in my photo gallery have been moved to my digital art domain, elizabyte.com. While you're there, you might like to have snoop around if you haven't lately.

- Rubenesque (i.e., fat) and perfectly okay with that
- Expatriate American, living permanently and very happily as an Australian citizen in Melbourne

- Serious computer geek: I have my own 24/7 network server (on which this and about dozen other domains are hosted), used to work as support tech at a fairly large ISP, I've been on the net since 1993, I've been known to make jokes in hexidecimal code (honestly!), and I once got a motherboard for Mother's Day (at my request)

Bonni.net is a personal vanity domain. Yes, folks, it's an old school personal homepage site, because I'm an old school net user and while I use various "Web 2.0" facilities, I like the personal, quirky, eccentric form of self-expression that is a personal homepage.
I've had a personal homepage since early 1994, and bits of that original site can still be seen in my personal pages and in the unicorn pages, as some of the content there dates back that far. My first homepage was designed without graphics, because I only had a text-only browser at the time (I didn't have the right kind of connection to the internet to use a graphical browser, which, in that day and age, was pretty much Mosaic). My second homepage, which was graphical, was designed in Netscape 1.1. I did many of the graphics on it myself, using Paint Shop Pro (version 3, I seem to recall).
This domain has been online since May 1998. It was the first domain I ever personally set up, and by "set up" I mean that I registered the domain, entered the DNS information on the name server, set up the virtual domain in the Apache server config, set up the mail aliases, everything. I didn't have the luxury of a control panel. I did it all entirely by hand. Come to think of it, I still don't have a control panel and I still do all that stuff by hand...
