Changelog - Aug. 25, 2006
by mike (Mike Macgirvin)

It's been a while since I updated the changelog. Here goes...

Added several general purpose reference tools to the 'tools' menu. Besides the world's most comprehensive chord chart and the conversion tables, you've now got a calculator and dictionary/thesaurus, etc. The dictionary is coming to you from dict.org. I tried to put a good dictionary online here, but the space requirements turned out to be phenomenal.

Added uploaded avatars to the list of things which could be censored. This hopefully will keep me out of legal trouble if somebody tries to upload a kiddie porn avatar. Registration forms now require an age. This is yet another legal compliance issue. Not sure that the law has taken effect yet, but if it does, I will need to know members' ages retroactively. You can still register invisible if you don't want anybody knowing your age (or anything else about you).

Added a few pages to send links and registration stuff to friends. Added email notification that you've got mail here; because otherwise you might not know to check it.

I changed a few hundred other little things as well, but they're escaping me at the moment.

Oh yeah - if you happen to be viewing this website via 'macgirvin.com', it will look a bit different now. No external news feeds, just articles originating here; like the old days. I've been tweaking the site subscription lists and making them more configurable. If you find all the extra news articles interesting, please visit one of the affiliate sites where they are intact - such as 'meandeu.com' or 'floozee.com'.

Or... subscribe to any or all the sources you desire from any of these sites or create your own. The cool thing is that you're in control of what you see, and it can be anything you want. For one person this could be a race car site. For another a pet rescue site. You can turn off this forum and create a 'cello' forum, and only subscribe to newsfeeds about aliens and 50's TV shows. Now are you starting to understand why this website is so cool?

upon your sex endures today; and with it invariably endures your position of
criminal at the bar of justice.
