I finally managed to get some pictures of the two new mice (Primrose and her sister Poppy). Photos are in the Mice section of the Gallery (well, obviously). For quite a while, I successfully had a daily digest of links from my Shared Links Feed posting to my blog. That stopped working a few weeks ago, and I have now utterly exhausted any and all potential fixes, so no more shared links being auto-posted to the blog (which really sucks). Instead, I'm encouraging people who enjoy the links I share to subscribe to my Shared Links RSS feed. Problem solved. Except for the part about posting the digest to my blog. There seems to be no solution to that problem available, at least right now... Bummer. I added a few links to the existing categories on The Trinity Pages, and created a new category for links: Overcoming Victim Mentality. After the Big Hardware Failure of 2009, I decided not to restore The Trinity Pages fully. For some time, it was just a links page. Tonight, I added back the individual essays on self-injury, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), dissociation disorders, and Panic/Anxiety Disorder. Links to them are on the main page. We went to Box Hill Public Cemetery yesterday and I got some very interesting new photographs and have put them in the gallery. If you're interested in the gallery, it's probably a good idea to subscribe to the gallery's RSS feed to be notified via RSS when there are updates there. I don't mind noting it here, but you get a more complete idea of what's been updated if you subscribe to that feed. That being said, I uploaded pictures of The Fairy Tree in Fitzroy Gardens, and Craig and Tracey's Handfasting, photos of Bendigo, and some other stuff since the last time I mentioned the gallery here. |

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, although I'm not entirely sure when Netscape 1 appeared on the scene). 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 have to do all that stuff by hand...
