January 6, 2008 Well. This site has not been touched in a very long time. It need a lot of attention, care, and revising! For now I've updated a few links and... we'll see.
April 9, 2002 I've finally got DSL again!! :-)
What this heralds is the return of my webcam! I'll be working on getting it set back up in a way that is usefull... and maybe I'll even get a second one... ooooo... aaaaahhh... ;-)
March 16, 2002 Still waiting on my new DSL line for the house. Stupid Pac Bell. Too much bureaucracy, too little care for and support of customers (or quasi-customers, as I explicitly tried to avoid dealing with Pac Bell by going with a different local provider... but unfortunately they still had to lease the line from Pac Bell and now here I am, going on five months since I placed my original order and still no service!!!)
Feb 5, 2002 Well, I finished my move a few months ago. My new house (literally a house, not an apartment!) is really quite nice and I'm pleased with it. Unfortunately, the DSL I was supposed to have back in December has STILL not come through. It now looks like it'll be another month as of this posting. ::sigh::
That said, once the DSL is back, then the webcam will go back online too. Of course, probably no one is checking in anymore since I haven't done a status update since the move started and it's been a loooong tiiiime! Ah, well...
Catch ya in a month!
Sept 9, 2001 I'm moving! This has no effect on any part of the website except the webcam. The webcam section is actually hosted from my own PC and as I will have to get a new net connection at my new home, you can expect the webcam section to be down for a little while come the end of September. Additionally, I won't be at my current appartment most of the time the rest of September, so the webcam won't be on most times.
Stay tuned to this Bulletin section for further updates regarding the webcam and more generally the renovations I'm planning for Valembrosa. :-)
Sept 9, 2001 Wow! I haven't updated the bulletins in a LONG time! For a while, the webcam was down due to a lack of proper equipment and connection to the internet. The past month (or more?) that has been corrected.
More recently (mid August) I enhanced the Webcam History/Archive section so that it now stores all images and I can maintain a good two to three weeks of my life online for browsing at your leasure! (I only remove sections where I'm not home or I'm sleeping)
Additionally, I've added a FAQ specifically about the webcam and some personal stats and so forth. In fact, I've been adding so much that I will soon make the webcam section a completely seperate website! There will just be a link from my Personal section to the webcam site.
Feb 7, 2001 In the past few weeks, I have fixed up the webcam section of my site. The webcam now updates every 20 seconds. Additionally, you can view the Image History to see the last 30 live images (10 minutes!). I've also added a schedule and I've placed the whole thing under the Theatre link from the home page and the navigation bar.
(I will be making the original 'Theatre' pages available elsewhere)
Sept 11, 2000 Finally finished writing the document "About Role Playing" in the "Theatre" section. Included a couple links to additional resources.
Aug 30, 2000 Updated the Adventurers Guild Hall (one new link, plus revised the verbage and look).
Aug 23, 2000 Added three new photos to my personal gallery (finally!).
Aug 4, 2000 Added the all new LIVE net cam to the "About the Lord of the Realm" section! You can peek in on me whenever it's on (which is most hours during the day while I'm working, plus often at night while I'm home at my humble abode).
June 18, 2000 Added one new picture to the "About the Lord of the Realm" section (replacing an older picture).
Added approximate dates for all personal photos.
June 13, 2000 Added two new pictures to the "About the Lord of the Realm" section.
Updated the bio a little.
Added a new link in the Adventurer's Guild section.
Feb 24, 2000 Added a new poem, "Boil".
Nov 1, 1999 Constructed an antichamber and central room for the gallery, and added a new wing for the first featured artist, Serella. Additionally added a link to another artists site.
Added some more comic email forwards.
Oct 27, 1999 Added a new wing to the library to hold the Comic Forwards archives. All the comic emails that the lord of the realm receives will be stored in this new archive and available for general perusal. At this time, the librarians are sifting through the back-log of emails, organizing, sorting, and re-formating them, so there are only a few available.
Check back every week or two to see what new ones have been added.

In addition, the local gallery will be adding new wings shortly to showcase featured artists of the realm. Currently this is still under construction so consider this a teaser.
Oct 18, 1999 Added pictures of my self under the "About the Lord of the Realm" section.
Updated the bio ("Let me tell you a story, if I may") with a complete story about my life up till now.
Sept 30, 1999 Added a some new poems.
Sept 17, 1999 Added a graphic for the tavern sign to replace the text-based sign there.
Aug 1, 1999 Added the Gallery.
Updated the navigation pane with graphic images to prevent text wrapping problems.
July 22, 1999 Updated the Library with current poetry.
Corrected a Netscape compatibility issue that was affecting the general look and feel.
June 20, 1999 All of the basic town areas have been constructed allowing for people to get around, but there is still not much to look at yet.
June 6, 1999 The craftsmen have started constructing the town of Valembrosa. However, they are very busy with several other projects, so construction will be sporadic at best.
