1st May 2002

Now that Skeeter Press have officially announced their crossover zine "Merged Worlds", I've added "Verity" to Kathryn A's fiction list. (Note: this does not mean the story is available online! It just means it's in the bibliography)

8th May 2002

Corrected some problems with the side-indexing in WorkStorm. It was puzzling me exceedingly. I've also altered it now so that the author-pages only point to the other author pages, not to the essay pages.

Altered (after a comment by spacecadet on Senfic) the extracts-from-stories bits on the Refractions page so that all extracts are from the start of the story, so you not only get an idea of the writing style, but how the story opens, to aid you in seeing whether you would be interested in it.

11th May 2002

Added a LoC about Staked Blake to the Zines page.

12th May 2002

Welcome my new perl module HTML::TextToHTML into the world! I have been working on it pretty intensely over the past three days. It is a port of Seth Golub's txt2html to a perl module (all object-oriented and everything!) in anticipation of enhancing it to something which does everything I want it to, instead of almost everything. So I'm now using it instead of txt2html for my conversions.

15th May 2002

Added a new version of HTML::TextToHTML because of a not-nice bug (and some few improvements too).

18th May 2002

Added reviews of "Closing The File" by Anna S "Vila's Emails" by Nicola Mody "Addams and Avon" by Ellynne G "Misunderstandings" by Rimilod "The Long Goodbye" by Kikkimax "Trust Someone" Deborah "Working Undercover" by Nelle "Convergence" & "Pretend" & "Encounters" by Kylie "Keeper" by Kristine Williams and "Marketable Assets" by Meercat to the Net-Fic Reviews page. Also altered the "Series" page in the Net-Fic Reviews so that it is sub-indexed by the alphabet, since there were so many entries on that page it made sense to subdivide it. (Ah, I love my scripts -- all I had to do was change one entry in my Makefile...)

19th May 2002

Added reviews of "Night Terrors", "The Fighting Dead", Faint Glimmerings of Light", "Christmas With Friends" & "The Dead Go Searching" by Jeri Massi to the Net-Fic Reviews page.

21st May 2002

Added reviews of "Uneasy Alliance" by Hephaistos DawnC Jmas Jennifer Krall & Sealie "By Unfrequented Ways" by Helen Parkinson and "Hysteron Proteron" by Christy Kubit to the Net-Fic Reviews page.

24th May 2002

Released a new version of hypertoc and HTML::GenToc.

26th May 2002

Added a LoC to the Zines page.

Released a new version of HTML::TextToHTML and added a script to use it, called texthyper. (Well, it's the sister script to hypertoc, ain't it?)

As a result of the revamped text conversion program, I've gone and changed all the files in Kathryn A's works to have HTML versions even if they didn't before. The original text versions are still there, never fear. (darn, I've spent the whole afternoon and evening tweaking this!)
