| The Bloodmoon idea backfired when I saw someone else had already completed the project I was working on, so nothing new will be added in that direction. I managed to edit some pages, making them AOL friendlier, but I haven't finished that work. I manged to rework the contact page (again) to make it easier to drop comments and feedback. I have also been working for the past few days on a new page for the Odds and Ends section. Expect an update on "The Biggest Adventure" here in the next two to three days. |

| I realize that I haven't updated since April, but I have a good excuse (actually, no I don't.) I realize that the CGI poll isn't working, and I haven't put up any of the programs I had promised, but right now I'm working with someone else, trying to teach them how to make a game, so hopefully that might be posted before too long (hint hint, EC). I got rid of the Flash contact page, still haven't revamped the links, and STILL haven't figured out how to fix that resolution bug on this page. I picked up TES3: Bloodmoon yesterday, so maybe I'll theme something towards that here in the next few days. |

| Some of these have been up for awhile now, but I haven't made any announcements, so here goes. First of all, the Poetry section is online with 10 very good poems (I promise), and for the past few weeks, I've had a new banner up. Well, the banner sucked, so with the ever popular Ash's help, there is a NEW banner on the front page (thanks Ash). In addition, I have made a new Contact page so that Shadow is on it as well, and as a very special treat for you all, a very special page that you all NEED to see (it is also in the Odds and Ends section for later reference) |

Okay, if any of you like doing good deeds without lifting a finger (and we all do), I have something for you all. I'm sure that most of you remember when the Human Genome Project was completed, and what a leap it was for medical science. Well, the people over at Stanford are attempting to map out and determine why certain protein molecules fold in the way that they do. This may sound simple, but it isn't. Protein molecules (each one is very different), can have thousands upon thousands of folds, and modeling these is no easy task. Diseases such as Parkinsons are caused by simple misfoldings of a protein, so this work is very important. So where do you come into this, right? Well, Stanford has released a small program to download that runs in your computer background. Anytime you aren't using your full processor capacity (which is about 99% of the time), it uses your extra power to model these proteins. In the event that you DO use your processor for anything, the program simply steps back so that your task gets full priority, then resumes--so really, you won't even notice a difference in your computer. So far, this project has turned out excellent results, and more people are helping out everyday. Tonight I downloaded the client, and started Team Defiant at the Stanford website. What I'm asking you to do is PLEASE, if nothing else, download the client and run it, but if you want to support this website, and show just how much you care about the project, configure the program so that you become a member of Team 31500; that's the team for this website. You can download the client using this link, so why not help science with processing power that you aren't using anyway? Also, for the record, Chapter One of Shadow's story is now online, and you may view it in the Fiction section of the website. |

| Ahoy, everybody. This is the first time I've taken the helm on the updates page, and I've got some groovy news for all of you. As Defiance mentioned, I've been working on a story; well, chapter one, Pathways is ready for public viewing. A quick history about this story -- I had the idea to write an RPG-style story, using characters a few of my friends created, as the main characters for the story. Then, as I write, I ask them questions about their characters, such as "does your character head north or west?" Based on their answers, the story changes. A really fun idea, and I suggest all of you budding writers out there to give it a try. So, read it, hopefully you'll enjoy it, and I look forward to hearing your comments regarding it. |
