(cf log intro) (briarpig : archive : shellgame : new) blacksmith

The pages below were nominally added (+) or changed (!) in the most recent month. Status situations (?) are noted on days indicated.

The main purpose of this page is to show readers an ordered record of significant changes made to the pages in this site.

Since this site is always a work in progess, this page helps show which parts are near a done state, and which parts contain new content. Seeing what's new is most important. We aim to please folks who come back often. So they need to know what's new since last time.

Tables in sections below emphasize the display of newest content first. So to see what has been added since your last visit, look to the first lines at the top and check the dates.

YEN	I get it. This is where you describe the progress you make in hammering away at this web site. Will you use a typical chronological change log? Do you plan to start with another essay about general ideas?
GED	Yes, the main purpose of this page is to provide a place for a chronological web site change log. But before the change log begins, we might discuss the idea that computing systems are composed of things typically crafted by hand.

The following table is a chronological change log in reverse date order, so oldest entries are last and newest are first.

`22Oct00` `@`	`!` first drafts: microcosm
`19Oct00` `@`	`!` first drafts: board
	`?` tweak both images on microcosm page
`17Oct00` `@`	`!` first drafts: disk
	`+` larger version of yesterday's figure: bigsectors.jpg
	`?` small image on the disk page links to the big version.
	`?` start using magnifying glass icon to show this relation
`16Oct00` `@`	`?` halfway done: disk (text and images)
	`+` put about two hours into making sectors.jpg
`15Oct00` `@`	`!` first drafts: screen (still slightly awkward?)
	`?` I have less to say about screen display and frontend matters, so content might be a bit forced.
`14Oct00` `@`	`!` first drafts: new (this page, guess dates only)
	`?` pages with tiny content: attic, microcosm, disk
	`+` create mime.jpg and rabbithat.jpg for screen
`13Oct00` `@`	`!` first drafts: imac
	`?` pages with skeletons only: attic, board, calculator, disk, frame, hand, identity, meter, microcosm, mill, new, puzzle, screen, tool, wall, weave, wire, yorick
`11Oct00` `@`	`!` first drafts: map, about
`01Oct00` `@`	`!` first drafts: shellgame

The following pages contain a significant amount of material, though in some cases they might still be works in progress. They appear in reverse order of first drafts completed, so the oldest pages appear last and the newest pages appear first. These are the pages you can expect to read in a useful form. Other pages might only be empty placeholders.
