Hey, look! It's an update that doesn't involve starship size comparisons. After spending time scanning a bunch of the covers from my DVD collection, I decided I might as well add them to my site so other people can use them. Enjoy!
...Oh yeah, and a size comparison chart update. ;-)
Another update to the comparison charts. I finally broke down and have added the ships from the new movie, even though their sizes are completely ridiculous. The images are rather poor quality for the moment, though.
I've made some more tweaks to the starship comparison charts. We've been getting a bunch of new starship diagrams lately, thanks to the generous efforts of one Doug Drexler.
After quite a while ignoring them, I've finally updated the Star Trek ship comparison charts with some missing ships and some rearranged images. I've tweaked most of the general sci-fi ship comparison charts as well. Enjoy!
A few Galactica updates to the size comparison charts have been posted.
Today, The Celestial Parodies reaches its conclusion with Episode 70: "Game Over (Insert One Token to Continue)". I thought about putting a few superlatives here, but when you read the episode, you'll realize that they would be redundant.
I've scrounged a few more ships to add to my comparison charts: the Cylon Heavy Raider, the Hammerhead fighter (from Space: Above and Beyond), and better CGI versions of the Cylon Baseship and the Pegasus. Follow the "updated" markers, and enjoy!
Fair notice for anyone trying to contact me by e-mail: I've had to tighten the SpamAssassin settings on my mail server, because more spam has been getting through to my inbox lately. My apologies if your messages are getting junked; try sending a longer, more coherent message; those are less likely to get caught in the filters by mistake.
Sorry for the outage yesterday evening. Some freak glitch (apparently while my site was being moved between servers) caused a whole bunch of files to disappear. Fortunately, I've got a backup for all my static files on my own computer, and the guys at midPhase were helpful in getting my server-side apps back up and running. There should be no further problems.
Now please excuse me while I do a little bit of gloating....
Earlier this week, a lovely bit of news came out: Internet Explorer hit another milestone, dropping below 70% usage. Hooray for people making intelligent choices! So I decided to do a little bit of digging into my stats and see what kind of visitors STM has been getting these days. The results were interesting, compared to the last time I took a look.
No, not the part about IE shares being even lower. I imagine that a lot of you who visit my site tend to be more technologically aware, and so I'm not surprised to see fewer people using that bane of the web. What surprised me (in a good way) was how there seem to be more people visiting with "alternative" browsers; that is, browsers other than IE and Firefox. —Not that I don't like Firefox, it's a good browser. I just think that greater browser diversity is a good thing. That, and I'm partial to WebKit myself. ☺
Here's hoping these trends continue!
I've done some minor clearing out of old, outdated links to other websites. Most of them just point to a saved version in the Wayback Machine, but a few of them either got removed completely or updated to point to a newer, equivalent page. (The ship comparisons page was a big offender here.)
