What was New at the Fort for 1997.

• Saturday 20th of December
  Tweaked the index page to be a little tidier.

  A new music section, on the Cafe Del Mar compilation CDs, has been added.

• Wednesday 3rd of December
  The ARM Chips List has been updated to feature a brief run down on the various ARM architectures out there.
• Sunday 30th of November
  The Acorn Machine List now sports a picture of the BBC Model B microcomputer.
• Friday 28th of November
  I found that even though I had completed the entry some time ago, I hadn't actually made the Woob entry accesible from the studio. Consequently this is now available for your reading pleasure.

  Something like that anyways.

• Sunday 19th of April
  Shifted the pages to their new home and readjusted things slightly as a result of this. Consequently some of the subsections have moved about due to GeoCities two levels of subdirectory limit.
• Tuesday 25th of November
  Gave the site a fairly hefty make over, the tag images and section 'link' images have all been redone. Hopefully into something a little more graphically tasteful. Congruent with this all the pages have been upgraded to HTML 3.2, mostly to be able to specify the background colour, but will still degrade nicely back to HTML 2.0 level browsers. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone thinks all this is an improvement.
• Sunday 16th of November
  Added a new entry onto the Noticeboard about the Guy Fawkes fireworks display this year.
• Monday 10th of November
  Updated the Acorn Machine List to now feature images of the Acorn Network Computer and RiscPC machines.
• Monday 20th of October
  The Acorn Machine List now features a picture of the Electron, hopefully to be shortly followed by pictures of other Acorn machines. Also the list now features a menu of links to each machine, hopefully making navigation of the list substantially easier.

  Likewise the ARM Chips has been given a menu of links as well as being updated with details on the ARM9 series of chips recently announced by armltd.

• Friday 10th of October
  I have removed the Currently being read, and Recently read sections from the books section. I simply haven't the time or inclination to keep them uptodate, especially given the rate at which I chew through books. Also I am not entirely convinced they were particularly worthwhile pages for people to read.
• Monday 22nd of September
  Brought online the Single Gun Theory entry into the studio.
• Thursday 11th of September
  Added to the studio a new page covering William Orbit and his Strange Cargo series of records.
• Wednesday 10th of September
  Added two new links, the Acorn Cybervillage and The Eye of the Obscure, into the Teleport section. I also removed the link Jamie Norrish's page, due to it seeming to have disappeared.
• Sunday 7th of September
  Updated the TTA Books page to briefly list a second series of books that were set in a related universe, although they aren't officially TTA Books.
• Tuesday 2nd of September
  Updated the TTA Books page to use HTML 3.2. It allows me to throw the book cover images over the right hand side of the page, and thus make it easier to read, in a clean way without scarificing the portability of the HTML.

  Also a new section, Music, opens today. The intention is that this section is not merely dedicated to artists I like but to the ones that tend to be the more unsung and obscure ones. I am not wildly interested in duplicating the effort of people who have crafted sites to the better known artists.

• Sunday 31st of August
  Updated the book entries for Excession, Feersum, State of the Art and Whit to have images of their book covers. This should about cover it, I believe I have only 'The Bridge' left to scan and Iain's latest book, 'Song of Stone', to deal with.
• Saturday 30th of August
  Updated the book entries for Canal Dreams, The Crow Road, Espedair Street and The Wasp Factory to have images of their book covers.
• Wednesday 27th of August
  Updated the book entries for Against a Dark Background, Complicity, Consider Phlebas, Player of Games and Use of Weapons to have images of the book covers.
• Monday 25th of August
  Updated the entry for Walking on Glass to use HTML 3.2 and to have an image of the book cover. Let me know if you find the change an improvement or not.
• Wednesday 13th of August
  Updated the version of TimerCtrl to a corrected and slightly expanded version. It now allows interupt code to be passed a workspace pointer every time it is called.
• Monday 11th of August
  Fixed the tag image so that it stopped trying to be a 640x480 size image with some browsers. (Caused by a bug in a gif encoder.)
• Tuesday 5th of August
  Updated the Acorn Machine List with details filling more about the early Acorn machines.
• Monday 4th of August
  Added a bunch of new links to the Teleport page including a link to a William Orbit fan site, Banco de Gaia's site a few computer pages and a smattering of other pages. I also removed the link to 'Risc Armageddon', much to my sorrow this e-zine hasn't really hit it's stride and doesn't seem likely to. Given the amount of effort the organisers invested into it this is doubly sad.
• Sunday 27th of July
  Adjusted the CDSelector archive to have a help file in it. Tweaked the Wellington page to be friendlier to modem users.
• Monday 14th of July
  Added a new archive, CDSelector, into the Archives section.
• Sunday 13th of July
  Added a new music store link to the Teleport section. Updated the Archives section with a new version of CacheCtrl.
• Tuesday 8th of July
  Replaced the Work View image on the Wellington page.
• Tuesday 1st of July
  Added the Edwin Fox page into the Noticeboard. It seems I now have a fairly healthy section on the more famous ships of New Zealand.
• Monday 30th of June
  Tidied up a few out-dated links in the power section, not to mention a few spelling mistakes.
• Thursday 5th of June
  Corrected a spelling error or two on the Archives pages. Also removed the link to the Strange Matter archive from the Teleport section - it seems to have gone off the air.
• Tuesday 20th of May
  Updated the Acorn machine list to now include the A7000+ and correct the entries for the A4x0/I machines to read A4x0/1 machines. Apparently the marking on the case really is a one and not a Roman I. Personally I thought the Roman I gave the name some class, but ah well.
• Sunday 11th of May
  Updated the ARMChips list in the archives.
• Friday 11th of April
  Something I forgot to mention earlier is the presence of the Welcome to the Comp.Sys.Acorn newsgroups document in the Archives section. This is intended to be a primer document for newcomers to the comp.sys.acorn set of newsgroups detailing where to find FAQs and what each newsgroup is about. At the moment I am taking submissions and suggestions on the document as I get it ready for use.
• Tuesday 8th of April
  Updated the link in the Archives section to the NZ Acorn PD Library. It now points to the new, freshly opened site. Also the RISC OS in action page has been tidied up with various spelling or grammatical errors corrected.
• Monday 17th of March
  Just been through the transport section weeding out stale links. Hopefully those that are left should be just the fresh stuff.
• Sunday 16th of March
  There is now a page in the Events section detailing my experience on board the TSS 'Earnslaw'. Finally I have managed to get all the bits together to finish this one off. As a side note I am pleased to announce that I have managed to get my NumLock key working again. It has been one of those things that, nearly everytime I sit down at my keyboard to type, has bugged me. Now it won't occupy my mind quite so much and hopefully will aid the writing process.
• Tuesday 11th of March
  Try as I might I just can't quite seem to find the enthusiasm, time and equipment all together to finish off some new pages I have for the site. Hopefully life will stop pestering me a little and let me do some updates. I have adjusted the Currently being read section to have a date-stamp on it so that people who actually pay attention to that page can have some guage of when I last looked at it. My reading habits have become somewhat more errattic of late due to the aforementioned lack of time.

  Finally it seems that Keyhole Reviews has posted their review of this site. It is an interesting review, one that I think kinda miss the point slightly but then I am hardly unbiased on the matter. Have a read and see what you think.

• Tuesday 18th of February
  Added a relavent quote to the Babylon 5 page. Now that more of the Shadow Vorlon conflict has been revealed it is interesting to note how close, and how slightly wrong, the guesses are. I have a few new features planned akin to the Endeavour one, but as yet have been finding it hard to get the time to organise the images and text for them.
• Monday 9th of February
  The Teleport section has been worked over with a few freshly broken links corrected.
• Tuesday 28th of January
  Nothing wilddly exciting. I have just been perusing over the older pages in the Power section and correcting various spelling mistakes and similar minor flaws.
• Monday 27th of January
  I have fixed the 'Great Space Battles' half size image which, for some unknown reason, seems to have been uploaded in a corrupt state. This should make the TTA page fully functional.
• Tuesday 14th of January
  The final entry for the Iain M. Banks standing collection, namely that for 'The State of the Art' . This completes the collection until such time as Iain releases another book.

  The Paul John Statham Competition entry has been updated to reflect that the closing date has changed and more of the judges have been named.

• Friday 10th of January
  I have uploaded the entries for 'The Crow Road' and 'Against a Dark Background' into the standing collections area. This almost completes the filling out of that collection. Various other minor tweaks with spelling and internal links done.
