Another site update. The navigation bars are now all coded with JavaScript, giving

- Friday 5-Dec-97 - Please fill out the new
Readers Survey.
We'd like to find out more about you, in order to give you the best magazine possible.
- Monday 1-Dec-97 - At last, an update!! A few additions to show we are still
alive, to be followed by more updates over the coming week or two, so watch this space.
We have a preview of the January 1988 issue.
An interview with Eric Schwartz as well as updated
information on the contents and
back issues pages.
- Monday 20-Oct-97 - Clearly something's wrong for CU
Online to be frozen in time for a month. The 'wrong' thing is that I'm
leaving the magazine and accordingly it's been a nightmare sorting things
out. You can read the FAQ at my home
page. This also means that CU is looking for fresh blood to fill the
gap in the ranks and the job advertisement can be found in the news
section.
- Tuesday 16-Sep-97 - Sub Editor Russ Cox
is on training so I can sneak in time for an update. RC5 news
item added. Contents of the October issue added. Oh yes,
next month's teaser too. I seem to have overwritten
Andrew's old Aminet round up on the server and locally so it's been replaced with a
brand new one in the PD section. Speaking of Andrew,
harrased him into stumping up a new Points of View also.
- Friday 05-Sep-97 - The Amiga Inc. Developers Registration stuff
is now up in the news section.
- Thursday 04-Sep-97 - Seems I forgot I had the day off. OK the
details for AIR Link are in the news section now.
I'm going to use dates as the links in the news section from now on.
- Tuesday 02-Sep-97 - Something wonderful is about to happen.
Details of the next amazing DIY project are coming, complete with a
covermounted PCB. No lie. Tommorow I'll put up the details. Oh I'm such a
tease!
- Friday 29-Aug-97 - Minutes after finishing the latest issue,
there's a sneak preview of the October issue in the next month section.
Since Thomas Schürger, the Algomusic author, asked for it, I added an
Algomusic 2.2 review in the PD Select section.
- Wednesday 27-Aug-97 - Improved and fixed the Project XG addendum. <sigh> well it's sure a learning experience.
Thanks to the folks who picked up on the errors.
- Tuesday 19-Aug-97 - Added news item about the Amiga C mailing
list. Added some fixes for common Vista Pro problems.
- Monday 18-Aug-97 - As people start building Project XG from the
DIY feature, it became clear there were some errors in the feature. Half
expecting some anyway, today I had a good look at it and corrected the
diagrams and other mistakes in this Project
XG addendum.
- Thursday 14-Aug-97 - Gnnnnnnnnnn, we seem to have left off
Maplin's address on the Project XG feature, errata in news section. Please
E-mail Russ Cox, the Sub Editor, and tell him
it's his fault (even though it probably isn't).
- Thursday 14-Aug-97 - Fixed up the front page of the Database
section to fit in with the CU Online style guide. Brought in next headings
for the Database and Survey sections. Added new contents of the September
issue since it's officially out today. Ripper it is too, y'all don't
miss it y'hear?
- Thursday 14-Aug-97 - Removed free CD offer from the subs page.
Apparently this did not apply to the 12 for 9
offer. Moved the DIY survey into survey section.
- Wednesday 13-Aug-97 - Woooooahhh, final phase of the big
overhaul. Got the database section added. I thought "Wow, this is the most
incredible update and I didn't have to do a thing". Dave Freeman, in
Thailand (lovely place Thailand), sent the database to us already in good HTML format.
There had to be a catch. Gnnnnnnnnn, it's all in mixed case. All 300 odd HTML files and filenames.
25 minutes and Rexx From Hell TM saves the day and regenerates all the
filenames and the HTML documents. As you can see, it worked and we have a
really wicked Database of the last 2 years online. Hoorah!
- Wednesday 13-Aug-97 - First phase of the big overhaul; redid
all of the nav bar buttons and the nav Frames to add new sections. New
Survey and Database sections, rename others like 'Surf's Up' to 'Links',
'Editorial' to 'Mailing List' and 'POV' to 'Opinion'. You got no idea how
long it took to do those buttons. Now all I need to do
is get the Database up...
- Tuesday 12-Aug-97 - Added the DIY survey in the features
section. Damn, I need to get some time for a major update this
week...
- Tuesday 05-Aug-97 - Managed to scrape some time together for
some web site work. Art Gallery updated.
Added pOS news. Fixed up the long
neglected back issues. Added
Andrew's Guildhall and Epic CD news.
Groping for instant content, threw in a POV as well.
Phew, time for home.
- Thursday 24-Jul-97 - Seems Gateway had something to say about
that news.
- Monday 21-Jul-97 - Added Lotus Pacific news cunningly in the news section.
- Friday 18-Jul-97 - Contemplated the fact that we probably need a What's New button for the nav frame... Decided to go to the pub instead. <grin>
- Friday 18-Jul-97 - Added next month teaser page with funky picture of the real Project XG.
Note the gratuitous use of perspective distortion and not a funny shaped box.
- Thursday 17-Jul-97 - Added AmigaNET UK IRC server and fixed the main
nav.html, changed 'Europe' to 'European Community' on subs page
- Tuesday 15-Jul-97 - Added AmigaNET news item.
- Tuesday 15-Jul-97 - Added August issue to Contents
pages.
- Monday 14-Jul-97 - Changed 'nav' frames so no underline after buttons
on Netscape (sigh). Let this be a lesson, don't put <A> on
a fresh line as Netscape assumes a space.
- Monday 14-Jul-97 - Added a 'What's new' changes log. :)
Mat Bettinson - (poor overworked) Webmaster of CU Online.
