Future 20## ___: Start using Cascading Style Sheets.

Future 20## ___: Set up a MIDI index page and pages for each composer. (The MIDI files aren't ready, but having a publicly-visible place to attach them may inspire me.)

Tue 2022 Sep 06: Unblocked ' 200 9501 "http' in the blockips script. My own Chrome browser triggered this response, and blocked my laptop's IP. Updating $ZEROLIST removed the block immediately, since blockips scans the entire log every time.
Wed 2022 Aug 31: Added 2 icons of the Magene S3+ Speed/Cadence Sensor to the icon collection.

Wed 2022 Aug 03: After running out of disk space on my web server, I have removed photos before June 2009. I think I have a 250GB disk I can put in the web server and upgrade to a current version of Ubuntu. (It may be one of Brian's old disks.) The web server doesn't seem to need more RAM or CPU, so there's no reason to move to newer hardware.
Wed 2022 Jun 22: I am renaming most of the "people" tags (and directories) to the form "people/lastname_jr=title_firstname_middlename". This will sort the galleries by last name. There's been a mix of full names, partial names, capitalized names, lower-case names, first-name first, and last-name first.
Fri 2022 Jun 17: Added icons of Rockbros 27L waterproof panier, the Colonial Catch Club at the 1st of 3 Manor Hill commemorative beers (and cans) releases for Ellicot City's Sestercentennial, and a crop of Cedric's head from the CCC photo.

Fri 2022 May 03: Blocked TurnitinBot (course-paper plagiarism) in robots.txt (and robots.slow). (I'm not opposed to detecting plagiarism, but I don't think my sites have much content to plagiarise – and I don't think many students will find my sites.)

Wed 2022 Apr 13: Added woot-order items to the icon collection: Rockpals pop-up tent, Skullcandy "Vinyl" true-wireless bluetooth earbuds (black and grey+teal), Altec Lansing Whisper ANC bluetooth headphones, and Schwinn Traveler bike helmet.

Sun 2021 Sep 26: Comcast replaced the cable-modem/router Thursday 9/23, but did not preserve the configuration. ☹ Port forwarding and DMZ setup cannot be done directly on the modem/router; it must be done through the Comcast/Xfinity site. It has taken me 3 days to get to the right part of the site. (It kept redirecting to a dead-end page.) The modem's external IP has changed from 69.140.228.171 to 73.200.37.162, and the web server's internal IP has changed to 10.0.0.140. I have set up port forwarding for ports 80, 443, and 8080 TCP/UDP to the webserver (osmunda). I have updated the Dynamic DNS set up at Zonomi.com (separate free accounts for bchivers.name and adhocsingers.org).

Sat 2020 Oct 10: Disallow /icons.html and /lj.html in robots.txt. These files are a convenience for editing the website, but they are thousands of bad links on the webserver. [See 2020 Nov 20 above.]

Tue 2020 Oct 06: Added 12 Orange Shirt Day icons (some in multiple sizes) to the icon collection.

Fri 2020 Oct 02: Instead of (Disallow:) blocking /photos topic subdirectories in robots.txt, block all /photos and allow the /photos/yyyy subdirectories. This is much shorter, and prevents leaving new topic directories exposed. But it doesn't help with the bad bots that ignore robots.txt. ☹
Thu 2020 Oct 01: Added Amazonbot to block in robots.txt.
Thu 2020 Oct 01: Modified the feedback page to say there's no business at this website, I don't want additional traffic, and I don't need anyone's search-boosting services.

Sun 2019 Dec 15: Adding 200(?) icons to the icon collection. 2019 Nov 30 I wrote a script "woot-ts" that takes a list of URLs and grabs the content from the woot! site. The URLs are the page for the product and then 1 or more links to the full-sized artwork/photos. It's mainly for T-shirts, but would also speed up making icons for other items. The images still have to be cropped, resized, and de-backgrounded. But just cranking out the HTML will save me hours. (216 new images tonight; some will not become icons; some will be cropped into multiple icons.)
Sat 2019 Dec 07: Added the Trump voodoo doll icon to the icon collection.
Sun 2019 Dec 01: Added the Brave browser and (2) Basic Attention Token icons to the icon collection.

Sat 2019 Jul 13: Trying to block DomainCrawler in robots.txt.
Sat 2019 Jul 13: Search engines are spidering through /photos//YYYY. Add /photos//year lines for 1990-2019. (This is duplicating content they've already got.)
Thu 2019 Jul 11: Search engines are spidering through /photos//whatever. Add /photos//whatever lines for all "Disallow /photos/whaterver" entries.

Wed 2019 Jun 12: Disallow CheckMarkNetwork/1.0 (+http://www.checkmarknetwork.com/spider.html) spider in robots.txt.
Thu 2019 May 30: Added the Home Depot "Commercial Electric" house-brand Double Jaw Wire Stripper and Crimper to the icon collection.

Fri 2019 Mar 15: Blocking http://cloudsystemnetworks.com spider Nimbostratus-Bot/v1.3.2 in robots.txt. Their site doesn't say enough about who they are. (It also suggests that they don't look at robots.txt, and I don't seem them going there in my log.)
Tue 2019 Mar 12: Blocking TagVisit/0.1 spider in robots.txt. Their site says only "We are currently collecting data and will be live soon..." [sic]
Wed 2019 Mar 6: Captioned 2008/Aug/06 photos (Pennsic).
Tue 2019 Mar 5: Captioned 2008/Aug/04, 05 photos (Pennsic). Wrote the photos2web script to automate updating the webserver.

Wed 2019 Feb 27: Updated the broken link to lazygal on the atpic.com Photo Albums, Website-Maintenance Tools, Site Map, and Website Changes pages. Updated the AD HOC Singers redirect page to mention that the site's hosting has moved from GoDaddy.com to this web server (with bchivers.name).
Fri 2019 Feb 22: Blocking Dataprovider.com spider in robots.txt.
Mon 2019 Feb 18: Commented out most of the stale content on my home page. Added links to my photos, audio, and video pages. Modified the makefile to generate disk, web, and local versions of the home page (which sets the BASE HREF).
Sun 2019 Feb 17: Created a new video index page with 15 .MTS files, mostly from recent Pennsics. There already is a videos index page (plural), arranged with subdirectories like the photos page structure. This new video page is one level, like the audio index page; both may be replaced with multiple levels in the future. Added recent photos to the photo gallery.
Sun 2019 Feb 10: Made a new woot_T-Leonardo.png icon. It does not have the severe aliasing artifacts of the previous icon, presumably because I'm using a newer version of the Pinta image editor. (It is also cropped better for making a square icon.)
Mon 2019 Jan 14: Renamed the 2018 .wav and .mp3 files with names 4 hours later; this appears to be (close to?) correct. Edited the audio index page to match.
Sun 2019 Jan 13: Adding .mp3 files for all the .wav files in audio. (This also requires some tedious edits to the index file to add new links and show sizes. ☹ There's 106 recordings.) There was a request on Facebook for any Known World Choir recordings from Pennsic XLVII. I've got files, but many are close to 1GB and will take a long time to download. And my reply may trigger a lot of interest, and many simultaneous download attempts.

If including dates outside the target year (to make complete weeks), put the month in lower case; this keeps scripted updates from finding December dates in the wrong year. Linux home directories are in /home; the program had a MacOS reference to /Users.
Tue 2019 Jan 1: Started a new 2019 Status Calendar. 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004

Our robot attempts to limit itself to content in Vietnamese so it doesn't want my website anyway.

Added an icon of Bellagio Las Vegas logo to the icon collection. Also made a .png with a transparent background for Towelie from South Park.

Fri 2017 Dec 15: Blocked "dotbot" (www.opensiteexplorer.org), "linkdexbot" (www.linkdex.com), and Yandex (yandex.com) in robots.txt. dotbot and linkdexbot are both for marketing and SEO, and I don't want to contribute to their data. Yandex is Russian – and has got to also be doing marketing/SEO, but not admitting it. (From that line of thinking, I should be blocking Google too....)

Tue 2013 Jan 29: Added the Nazgulish Nine Little Ponies Woot T-shirt to the icon collection.
Tue 2013 Jan 22: Added a 40-oz bottle of Hurricane malt liquor to the icon collection.
Sun 2013 Jan 20: Made screen captures of the newspaper and funeral-home pages for Cynthia Chivers' obituary and added them to her death and funeral page.
Fri 2012 Jan 18: Added an icon of the Technics SL-PC20 5-disc CD changer to the icon collection.

Tue 2013 Jan 1: Ran makecalhtml to create the 2013 Status Calendar page and added it to the icon collection. 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Wed 2012 Dec 12: Added an icon of a Dalek disguised as a Xmas tree to the icon collection.
Tue 2012 Nov 27: The sed statements that duplicate and remove the show title from the mythtv_upcoming.raw file for sorting without lead articles (a/an/the) failed on a title that contained meta-characters (M�tley Cr�e). Replaced the sed scripts (before and after) with awk. (It's harder to find the problem when there's nothing wrong with my code; the utility simply didn't work.)
Mon 2012 Nov 26: Added 2 icons of the Shimano SL-RS45 Tourney Revo Shifter set to the icon collection.
Tue 2012 Nov 13: Added 5 icons of bike headlights with Cree T6 emitters (1200 lumen), diffuser lens, battery pack, and the MagicShine helmet mount to the icon collection.

Sun 2012 Oct 21: Creating a new Sunday CBS Recordings page in the makefile, supported by new files mythtv_cbs_sun.head> and mythtv_cbs_sun.tail>.
Wed 2012 Oct 17: Created the atpic.com albums page documenting my atpic.com home page, in case that page is ever lost (like so many of my atpic.com photos). Added the new atpic.com albums page site map.
Mon 2012 Oct 1: Added 9 panels from Pictures for Sad Children (by John Campbell) to the icon collection. (One is with the valentines.)
Fri 2012 Sep 28: Added Ace Joker apple cider to the icon collection.
Fri 2012 Sep 21: Added Double Take India Pale Ale to the icon collection.

Thu 2012 Sep 13: Added a Michelob ULTRA Light Cider icon to the icon collection.
Mon 2012 Sept 3: Added the ICON IRIX headlamp and Rogue 1 flashlight to the icon collection.
Tue 2012 Aug 28: Modified the mk_copy-paste script to remove the "lj/../" sequence from the URLs now generated to my locally-hosted photos. (Hmmm, actually I shouldn't link to the original photo file, but to the new html page for the photo. Next round of changes.... (Done.))
Mon 2012 Aug 27: Wrote the awk.lj-photo-relink program for creating new links for my photo icons, based on the date (and time) in the icon filenames, replacing defunct links to netShapShot.com or atpic.com; added it to the site tools and site-map pages. Generated a new icon collection with localized URLs. Deleted 344 comments of old netSnapShot URLs from the icon collection.
Sun 2012 Aug 26: Wrote the photo-txt script for creating *.txt files describing photo contents, selectively copying comments from previous photos; added it to the site tools and site-map pages.
Wed 2012 Aug 22: Added 2011 photos to the website. Uploading gallery of 228 photos took 25 minutes.
Tue 2012 Aug 21: Added txt-comment to the site-map page. Added feh, Lazygal lazygal, and txt-comment to the site tools page.
Mon 2012 Aug 20: First pass at hosting my own photos online. Generated a gallery for 2012 with Lazygal lazygal: % lazygal --image-size=small=660x495 -O --orig-symlink -o ~/webpages/bdchivers/photos ~/webpages/photos Wrote the center-lazygal-comment script to put <CENTER></CENTER> tags around the contents of file.jpg.comments files. This effectively separates my descriptive comments from the EXIF data displayed by Lazygal lazygal. The feh image viewer can be used to edit comments while viewing photos, but the resulting date-time.jpg.txt files need to be linked to date-time.jpg.comment names to be picked up by lazygal. feh -d --draw-tinted -g 800x600 -r --scale-down --caption-path . .
Sun 2012 Aug 19: Updated the main page (last done 2010/06/18!) to mention the 2 failures of atpic.com and my participation in the Known World Choir at Pennsic. Struck through many dead links.
Sat 2012 Aug 18: Added photos from Pennsic XLI to the icon collection: heddle-loom bead weaving, kumihimo, glass before fusing, fused glass, sterling-silver bezel, silver pendant bezel with loop, and fused glass set into sterling silver as a pendant. Added a Double Take Belgian White wheat ale icon to the icon collection.
Mon 2012 Aug 13: Added a Double Take Amber Ale icon to the icon collection.
Thu 2012 Aug 2: Added 2 icons of orange Icon Link Carabiner LED Flashlights to the icon collection.
Fri 2012 Jul 27: Added 2 icons of the glass beverage dispenser with willow base and lid (that I picked up curbside on bike ride home tonight) to the icon collection.
Sun 2012 Jul 22: Replaced hundreds of icon images (mostly .jpgs, and a few .gifs) on my icon collection page with .png images that have transparent backgrounds. In some cases I have both icons, if I think it may be used against a background where it won't show up. I expect I will need to force most of the images to upload to the hosting site. Added the Igloo Island Breeze Maxcold 50qt ice chest and the 1-inch Mead Five-Star binder to the icon collection.
Fri 2012 Jul 20: Added 3 icons of Icon Rogue 2 100-Lumen LED Flashlights to the icon collection. Changed most of the Woot!, Daily Steals, and FreeCycle icons from jpg to png images.
Sun 2012 July 8: For the icon collection and LJ userpics copy-paste page pages, use a light grey background instead of white, to make it easier to see which icons have transparent backgrounds. The new icons look good on light-colored backgrounds, but not so good on darker backgrounds if the images have anti-aliased edges. (Fading the pixels to the background color requires knowing the background color. For many photos, the original .jpg icons with white (or scene) backgrounds look better on pages with far-from-white backgrounds.)
Fri 2012 July 6: Added the Free Your Heart woot! T-shirt icon to the icon collection.
Wed 2012 July 4: Made .png files with transparent backgrounds for many .jpg (and .gif) icons. The icon collection has not been updated to use the new .png images (yet).
Mon 2012 Jun 25: Added an icon for the StartPage search engine and 2 for DuckDuckGo Black to the icon collection.
Sat 2012 Jun 23: Added Black Oak wine negociant icon to the icon collection.
Fri 2012 Jun 22: Added 3 icons cropped from the "Swept Away" woot! T-shirt to the icon collection.

Tue 2012 June 5: Added 16 icons from Garfield-minus-Garfield to the icon collection.
Sun 2012 June 3: Made backgrounds transparent on 41 more .png icons and created one new .png from a .jpg in the icon collection.
Sat 2012 June 2: Made backgrounds transparent on many .png icons in the icon collection. (Garfield-minus-Garfield icons, in particular.) Replaced a few .jpg icons with .png icons. (I installed Pinta v1.3 today and opacity works now.) Modified 145 icons with the new Pinta software. 77 are Garfield-minus-Garfield icons. 3(?) are new .png versions of .jpg icons. (There are many more .jpg icons that would look good with transparent backgrounds.)
Sat 2012 June 2: Added "A Better Amercia" screenshot from (Republican Presidential candidate) Mitt Romney's iPhone app to the icon collection.
Sat 2012 May 26: Added 5 pictures of the Swann Freestyle HD Wearable Action Video Camera to the icon collection.

Fri 2012 May 4: Added the Celestial Playground woot! T-Shirt to the icon collection.
Fri 2012 May 4: Ran a (long overdue) scan of this site with webcheck 1.10.3. Took about 90 minutes.
Fri 2012 May 4: Got WebCheck working again after changing the BASE HREF in upload_web to match what Comcast's doing now and updating some paths in webcheck.env after the move from Darwin (MacOSX) to Linux.
Thu 2012 May 3: Added the norton-safeweb-site-verification meta tag to the main page. Hopefully Norton will run a scan soon and identify any links that went stale and now point to malware sites (and any other problems).
Thu 2012 May 3: This website (and its account and email) was suspended by Comcast apparently because of links to malware sites. Too bad they didn't tell me exactly what the links or sites are, so I can clean them up. (It's not like a lot of people visit anything on this site in the first place....)
Mon 2012 Apr 23: Added the SiliconDust HDHomeRun Prime Tuner (today at sellout.woot.com) to the icon collection.
Tue 2012 Apr 10: Added icons of the ShondaLand roller coaster, a brain, 3 depictions of nerons/synapses, and an anti-Tweet T-shirt to the icon collection.
Mon 2012 Apr 9: Added 2 icons from Garfield-minus-Garfield to the icon collection.
Sun 2012 Apr 8: Fixed the lj/get_DW_user_pics script: the <td> tags are now the <div> tags, and the script wasn't finding anything. Also added the new mythtv community to the list of journals it collects. New icons: Santa with an automatic rifle; (oversized) SEC emblem with shadow and reflection; 2 Keane logos, 2 Keane/NTT-Data logos, and 2 NTTData logos.
Tue 2012 Apr 3: Added MythDora and LinHES icons to the icon collection. Squashed the MythTV logo in to 100 pixels wide to make a new icon acceptable to Dreamwidth. All 3 icons were added to the new Dreamwidth MythTV community. (The LiveJournal community is now moderated, but is abandoned and has no moderator, so nothing can be posted there.)
Sat 2012 Mar 31: Added the We Are Atheism and athiest Scarlet Letter icons to the icon collection. Added 3 icons for the New Belgium Brewing Company (bike logo, Fat Tire Ale, Trippel ale muses).
Tue 2012 Mar 27: Added 2 political icons ("I Voted in Arlington" sticker and VA Democrats logo) to the icon collection.
Wed 2012 Mar 14: Added the Almost Free (goldfish) T-shirt icon to the icon collection.
Mon 2012 Feb 27: Added the Blending in to Night (ninja chameleon) T-shirt icon to the icon collection.
Thu 2012 Feb 16: Added 2 Shock Top Belgian beer icons to the icon collection.
Sun 2012 Feb 12: Added the anonymous LJ Userpic icon to the icon collection.
Sat 2012 Jan 21: Added the Rambo Tux and Victor Rat Trap icons to the icon collection.
Mon 2012 Jan 16: Added the Bilt Bumper netbook sleeve and the Tetris Skull (from another netbook sleve) to the icon collection.
Sun 2012 Jan 15: Modified the section of the makefile to pick up episodes numbered "1.1" as pilots. (Previously found only "1.01" episodes.) Improved searching around the world "Pilot" so it no longer catches many episodes of "The Aviators" (nor Family Guy "Back to the Pilot").
Thu 2012 Jan 12: Added 2 Ghost Writer woot! T-Shirt icons to the icon collection.
Mon 2012 Jan 2: Added 2010-2012 to the internal links for 2004-2009 on this page.
Sun 2012 Jan 1: Ran makecalhtml to create the 2012 Status Calendar page and added it to the icon collection. 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Sat 2011 Dec 31: Added the Gilbey's Gin label to the icon collection.
Thu 2011 Dec 29: Fixed the lj/get_DW_user_pics script: Dreamwidth is now .org, not .com, and the URL for the userpic collections is simpler than before.
Thu 2011 Dec 22: Modified the section of the makefile that generates the TV Episodes List to ignore entries in the edit.epi.nos file that are not "^" anchored at the beginnings of lines. The double-episode numbering entries are no longer so anchored, and this keeps them from generating spurious entries in the episodes list.
Mon 2011 Dec 19: Added the Tenda W268R 802.11n WiFi router and the Targus TSS21002US netbook sleeve to the icon collection.
Wed 2011 Dec 7: Added the Woodchuck Hard Cider logo to the icon collection.
Thu 2011 Dec 1: Added a 6-pack of Purple Haze to the icon collection. Added the Hornsby's Amber Draft Hard Cider emblem to the icon collection.
Tue 2011 Nov 29: Added a 6-pack of Bacardi Silver Mojitos to the icon collection.
Thu 2011 Nov 24: Added a Tiger Lily icon from the Through the Looking Glass woot! T-shirt to the icon collection.
Sat 2011 Nov 19: Modified the makefile and associated header files. On the MythTV Contents and MythTV Expire List pages, calculate the MB/min for each recording and color-code the size column to indicate that programs are from Analog or HD sources, or are too short – likely to be incomplete. HD and analog shows should be watch first to free up space faster. Files that are too small for their listed length should be deleted so the show may have a chance to re-record.
Sun 2011 Oct 23: Added 3 icons from Pictures for Sad Children and 2 from BooHooBoo (all by John Campbell) to the icon collection. Added 2 icons from Garfield-minus-Garfield to the icon collection.
Sat 2011 Oct 15: Added 2 woot! T-shirt icons (Haunted Scarecrow and Thunderbird) to the icon collection.
Wed 2011 Oct 12: Added 9 candy-corn icons (3 from the "Other Uses for Candy Corn" woot! T-shirt), a mouse in a computer-mouse costume icon (woot! T "Click or Treatz"), and the little "Hallowoot" icon to the icon collection.
Mon 2011 Oct 10: Added an icon of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's "Fun with Hieroglyphs" rubber stamps to the icon collection.

Sat 2011 Oct 1: Added the Comcast "C" icon to the icon collection.
Sat 2011 Sep 17: Added the "No Surfing" icon to the icon collection.
Thu 2011 Sep 15: Added the Freecycled Rubbermaid Roughneck 2215 18-gal storage container to the icon collection.
Sat 2011 Sep 10: Added the Freecycled Gamma2 Vittles Vault Plus 25 pet-food storage container to the icon collection.
Mon 2011 Sept 5: Added the Reading Rocket Ship woot! T-shirt (by qetza) to the icon collection.
Fri 2011 Aug 19: Added the Teacher Talks Funny woot! T-shirt (by ApeLad) to the icon collection.
Tue 2011 Jul 19: Added the High Sierra® Mesa Family Dome Tent, a Shimano RX100 rear derailleur, and a cropped suicidal Post-Secret card to the icon collection.
Fri 2011 July 1: Added the Planet Replay logo to the icon collection. Split the DVR (ReplayTV, MythTV, MythBuntu, TiVo, UltimateTV) icons into 2 rows and moved them above the DVR hardware.
Tue 2011 Jun 16: Added 9 blood-drive icons and 2 more images bigger than 100x100 to the icon collection.
Fri 2011 May 20: In the makefile for the MythTV Contents page, eliminate episodes of "The Aviators" from the list of pilot episodes. ("Pilot" occurs in many episode titles.)
Sun 2011 Apr 24: Added 2 zombie/bicycle Woot! T-Shirt icons to the icon collection.
Wed 2011 Apr 13: In the makefile for the MythTV Contents page, changed the projected disk space used for standard def digital programming from 1.1GB/HR to 1.15GB/HR. Also changed the mythtv_upcoming.head3 file to match.
Tue 2011 Apr 12: Added a Ninja on a bicycle Woot! T-Shirt icon to the icon collection.
Sun 2011 Apr 10: Added a Green Eggs and Ham Woot! T-Shirt icon to the icon collection.
Wed 2011 Apr 6: Added 2 icons of our new Kenmore refrigerator to the icon collection.
Tue 2011 Apr 5: Added icons of a Cree 3-watt 2-D-cell flashlight (from Woot!) and 3 T-shirts to the icon collection.
Fri 2011 Apr 1: In the makefile for the MythTV Contents page, changed the projected disk space used from 2.2GB/HR for standard def and 5GB/HR for high def to 2.2GB/HR for analog, 1.1GB/HR for standard def digital, and 6GB/HR for high def. Also changed the mythtv_upcoming.head3 file to match.
Thu 2011 Mar 17: Added an icon of a 2-pack of (St. Patrick's Day) Green Buckyballs 216 Piece Rare Earth Magnetic Sets (from Woot!) to the icon collection.
Sat 2011 Mar 12: Added the rabid/zombie squirrel from the "I'm not contagious, I swear" woot! T-shirt, and 3 icons from Garfield-minus-Garfield, and a Picture for Sad Children icon to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Mar 7: Fixed sort arguments in the mk-mythtv_contents_rec script that creates daily mythtv_contents_rec.YYYYMMDD files. (It broke with the move from Darwin to Linux, but I just noticed the empty output files last night. I'll remove them, and it should re-create them.)
Sun 2010 Mar 6: Added the SEC "IDEA" (Interactive Data Electronic Applications) logo to the icon collection.
Sat 2010 Mar 5: Modified the makefile to not print (zero) totals for days with no activity in the "Recent Recordings" section of the MythTV Contents page.
Mon 2011 Feb 28: Added 3 icons of penguins cropped from the "Cooler Than You" woot! T-shirt to the icon collection.
Tue 2011 Feb 15: Added 2 icons from Garfield-minus-Garfield and 2 from Pictures for Sad Children to the icon collection.
Thu 2011 Feb 10: Changing the lj/get_user_pics and lj/get_DW_user_pics scripts to use mawk instead of awk to create the lj/user_pics and lj/DW_user_pics files (used in the icon collection). (These probably broke with the Ubuntu patches installed 2011/Jan/19.)
Wed 2011 Feb 9: Added the Reflections on Pi icon (from a Woot! T-shirt) to the icon collection.
Sun 2011 Feb 6: Noticed that titles on the TV Episodes List with 8-bit characters were truncated. Changing the makefile to use mawk instead of awk to create the intermediate rtv_episodes file fixed it. (This probably broke with the Ubuntu patches installed 2011/Jan/19.)
Sat 2011 Jan 8: makefile changes for different arguments supported by ls on Linux.
Tue 2011 Feb 1: Added 2 icons of a roll-up electronic piano keyboard from DailySteals! to the icon collection.
Tue 2011 Jan 25: Changed the site <BASE HREF> on the main page from file:///Users/bchivers/... to file:///home/bchivers/..., corresponding to the differing home-directory locations of Darwin and Linux. The upload.web script had been changed to modify the new <BASE HREF> for the index-page file uploaded to the web, but the page itself had not been modified, so the <BASE HREF> on the website was broken.
Thu 2011 Jan 20: Added 4 Palin/Beck-2012 bumper stickers and the screwed-by-elephant bumper sticker, all 5 in large and icon sizes, to the icon collection. LiveJournal-account icons on the icon collection page are munged – perhaps more problems from the awk change? (And Dreamwidth-account icons are gone completely from the page.)
Wed 2011 Jan 19: Linux software updates yesterday have changed the awk command, and broken the upcoming MythTV recordings page.
Mon 2011 Jan 17: Added 6 icons from Garfield-minus-Garfield and 2 from Pictures for Sad Children to the icon collection. Fixed the lj/get_user_pics and lj/get_DW_user_pics scripts for Ubuntu (Darwin command paths). Cleaned up the edges of many icons with Pinta Image Editor. Adding it to the list of site tools.
Mon 2011 Jan 10: Cleaned up the FTP options set in .ftp_init for Linux. (Some of the options didn't work with Darwin, either.)
Sat 2011 Jan 8: makefile changes for different arguments supported by ls on Linux. (Often reformatted with (sed and) awk.) The simple "+n" sort keys in themakefile also must be changed to -k style.
Rewrote the touch-24 and touch-4 scripts for Linux. Darwin's date command was special and was taken advantage of. Don't have it here.
Removed the workspam.html and spam.png targets from the makefile. The've been stale for years (and now the stale data is no longer available).
Many of the sorts for the MythTV pages needed to be defined more precisely in the makefile. (In particular, leading blanks were not leading to the proper sorting of numeric fields without the "n" specified.)
Fri 2011 Jan 7: Command-path changes in the makefile to match where Linux keeps commands.
Sat 2011 Jan 1: Ran makecalhtml to create the 2011 Status Calendar page.

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Fri 2010 Dec 31: Added 2 Ubuntu-logo icons to the icon collection. Now creating icons under Ubuntu Linux.
Tue 2010 Dec 21: Added an icon a sleeved fleece blanet from Woot! to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 Dec 12: Added icons of the Acer 1830T (2), ThinkPad SL510, ThinkPad Edge 13, and Lite-On ETAU208-46 Slim External DVD Writer (2) to the icon collection.
Sat 2010 Nov 21: Added an Irish turnip jack-o-lantern to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Nov 16: Added Medium and Mini (plant-watering) Aqua Globes from Woot! to the icon collection.
Sat 2010 Nov 6: Fixed a problem in the makefile to pick up forced recordings on the upcoming MythTV recordings page.
Sun 2010 Oct 31: Added a cropping from the Matryoshka Muerta woot! T-shirt to the icon collection.
Sat 2010 Oct 30: Added an icon of the Griffin 10008-SNSATA iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Car Charger for Sansa to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 Oct 27: Added 3 icons of 2-pack Black & Gold Buckyballs 216 Piece Rare Earth Magnetic Sets (from Woot!) to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 Oct 17: Added 2 croppings from the "spooked!" Woot! T-Shirt icon to the icon collection.
Added 2 photos (one from Woot!) of the Sandisk Sansa Fuze 4GB Black Media Player w/FM tuner, 1.9" LCD, micro SDHC slot to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Oct 11: Modified the makefile for the MythTV Contents page to include any episode #1.01 with the "Pilot" episodes.
Added MoveOn.org's RepubliCorp organization chart to my Politics page.
Fri 2010 Oct 8: Fixed a problem in the makefile sorting the first half of the upcoming MythTV recordings content. For identical titles (no episode listed), sort by date. Subfields of the date were incorrect to sort by YYYY/Mon/DD/HH/MM, and it was sorting the wrong field entirely after an extra title field was added to sort without leading A/An/The articles.
Wed 2010 Sep 29: Fixed a problem in sed.edit.mythtv_upcoming.
Tue 2010 Sep 28: Fixed a problem in the makefile that was dropping the first item from the upcoming MythTV recordings.
Sun 2010 Sep 26: Added a new page of upcoming MythTV recordings.
Made a separate makefile target for collecting MythTV Status info, since is used on multiple pages now.
Wed 2010 Sep 15: Added the "Square Dance" Woot! T-Shirt icon to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 Sep 12: Modified the makefile to add a new section of Pilot episodes to the MythTV Contents page.
Modified the new awk code in the makefile to add the count of shows to the total time and disk space reported on the MythTV Contents and MythTV Expire List pages.
Sat 2010 Sep 11: On the MythTV Expire List page, added LiveTV after the deleted programs, and split the auto-expired programs into watched and not-yet-watched. This is (roughly) the order in which things are deleted. This required creating 2 new mythtv_expire.head* files.
Finally added awk code to the makefile to calculate time and space totals in the MythTV Contents and MythTV Expire List pages.
Fri 2010 Sep 10: Added lines to the makefile to pick up LiveTV recordings in the MythTV.
Tue 2010 Sept 3: Added an icon of the Earth with orange continents, flanked by flat-panel displays, to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Sept 1: Added 2 icons of Buckyballs 216 Piece Rare Earth Magnetic Sets (from Woot!) to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Aug 24: Added the Firefox-like "Unexpected Error" Woot! T-Shirt icon to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Aug 10: Added 2 icons of the Remington High-Powered 3-watt LED Headlight (from Woot!) to the icon collection.
Thu 2010 Aug 5: Added 3 icons from on-line SEC training to the icon collection – clock gears, meshing gears, and phishing.
Sat 2010 Jul 24: Added an icon of walmazan's Luchadores-style Rock/Paper/Scissors Woot! T-Shirt to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 Jul 21: Added a picture of the SEC headquarters in Washington, DC to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Jul 20: Added entries to the editor script edit.fix.mythcontents to specify the details of multi-part episodes. (Based on recording date/time first, then changed to use ProgramID (which should match any future re-recordings).)
Moved most of today's additions to edit.fix.mythcontents to edit.epi.nos instead. They belong there with the general collection of episode numbers for titles, but are now also tied to ProgramIDs. Those where the episode numbers or ProgramIDs are not unique were left in edit.fix.mythcontents.
Merged separate log of site changes site+changes.html into this page.
Added 5 SEC-logo icons and a top hat of money to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 Jul 14: Include non-expired programs at the end of the MythTV Expire List page. This largely serves the need for a time-sorted list of the MythTV's contents.
Mon 2010 Jul 12: Overnight the MythTV server filled up its recordings partition and started deleting "deleted" programs. Now that they are all gone, MythWeb is overly helpful when you request a list of the deleted shows -- since it's an empty list, it gives you everything. So now, if mythtv_contents and mythtv_deleted have the same number of lines, assume that there are no deleted shows and replace mythtv_deleted with an empty file (and skip editing the empty file to fix meta-characters and add episode sequence numbers).
Wrote a new script mk-mythtv_contents_rec to create daily mythtv_contents_rec.YYYYMMDD files. The makefile will run it whenever the mythtv_deleted file is updated.
Created a new page MythTV Expire List that lists the contents of mythtv_deleted (if any) and then the auto-expired programs in mythtv_contents, sorted by recording time.
Added links to the new MythTV Expire List page on the MythTV Contents, ReplayTV Contents, Episodes List, and site-map pages.
Sun 2010 Jul 11: Renamed edit.tv.longtitles to edit.fix.mythpages (and updated the makefile to match). There are other things (besides just breaking long fields) that need tweaking that don't fit in well other places.
Added a new editor script edit.fix.mythcontents to fix (so far, just bogus meta-character) problems in the data from the MythWeb page scrapes going into the mythtv_contents and mythtv_deleted files. Cleaning the data upstream is better for historical look-ups, and removes the need for some edit.fix.mythpagesfixes later. (edit.tv.longtitles could have kept its original name, for now.)
Sat 2010 Jul 10: Modified the makefile to use a new editor script edit.tv.longtitles to "<BR>" break long title/subtitles on the MythTV Contents page.
Fri 2010 July 9: Modified the makefile to filter the mythtv_contents and mythtv_deleted files through meta-html to convert any meta-characters in the program or episode titles into their corresponding HTML character entities. This needs to happen after the episode sequence numbers are edited in because the edit script may be matching on the raw meta-characters. (And in some cases, like Kröd Mändoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire, the edit script adds the meta-characters.) It would also work to do the filtering later, when the sections of the MythTV Contents page are generated, but that's 5 places (so far) instead of 2, and there may be additional places in the future. I probably will opt to do this instead though, since I need to start keep logging changes to mythtv_contents and mythtv_deleted, and they will probably be easier to diff and edit with the raw HTML characters. UPDATE: Have opted for the 2nd approach; the mythtv_contents and mythtv_deleted files will still contain the meta-characters, and the makefile will filter them through meta-html as the data is extracted for the sections of the MythTV Contents page.
Added the meta-html script to the site-map and site-tools pages.
Added the tvrage and tvraged scripts to the site-map and site-tools pages. (That should have happened long ago....)
In the mythtv_contents and mythtv_deleted files, use the last 3 digits of the Program ID for the program subtitle if the subtitle was empty (replaced with "-") and the Program ID begins with "EP".
Added icons of Oakworks' Nova Portable Treatment Table, a butt-sniffing dog (I snort crack), a bike-lane graphic, and a sad TiVo to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 July 6: Modified the makefile to include a 2nd previous day in the "Recent Recordings" section of the MythTV Contents page if run before 10:00.
Added icons of Shakespeare ripping apart a "Cliff's Notes" book (Woot! T-Shirt) and a porn/virus attack from Tatsuya Ishida's "Sinfest" web comic to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 July 5: Improved the sorts in the makefile creating the mythtv_contents and mythtv_deleted files. (I need to start capturing daily deltas on these 2 files soon because the MythTV server will fill the disk to the point of needing to purge old recordings.)
Fri 2010 July 2: There is now a program title that contains a slash (Frontline/World), so "/" can no longer be used as the pattern delimiter to create the edit.rtv_epi_seq file. This requires changes to the makefile.
Thu 2010 July 1: Single-digit dates (1-9 of the month) come out of the MythWeb dump with a leading space. Modified the makefile to look for dates this way – change the leading zero to a space, instead of discarding it – when updating the MythTV Contents page.
Wed 2010 Jun 30: Commented out icon-collection links to TikiMac. http://homepage.mac.com/tikimac/ is not found, http://www.tikimac.com/ forwards to a default ISP page, and other http://*.tikimac.com/ are not found. (I guess this is why you need copies of the the icons' original images, because they can just disappear.)
Tue 2010 Jun 29: Wrote the touch-4 script to timestamp checkpoint files 4 hours back so that make can update the mythtv_contents file (and a MythTV Contents page) more often. (Update lockout window was 6 hours before.)
Mon 2010 Jun 28: Added a blue garter icon from the Garter Girl (Julianne Smith) to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 Jun 27: Added a listing of deleted programs to the the MythTV Contents page. (It's a short list at present; unwanted shows that annoyed me in the contents listing. It should stay short after the recordings partition fills up and old content needs to be purged routinely.)
Sat 2010 Jun 26: Added 3 icons from Garfield-minus-Garfield and 2 from Dilbert to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 Jun 23: Display additional info from the Mythtv status page (http://server/mythweb/status) on the MythTV Contents page: space used by auto-expirable recordings, deleted recordings, and live TV. Cleaned up the generation of the rtv_episodes file (used to make the Episodes List page). Some episode nubers/titles could be substituted in multiple ways and the extraction of the list thwarted uniq. (Sorting by episode number will remove special episodes from the time sequence that is preserved in the edit.epi.nos file.) Now also removing leading articles (A/An/The) from the program-title sort for the Episodes List page.
Tue 2010 Jun 22: On the MythTV Contents page, change "mins" to "min" for listing the run length. (Multiple hours are still "hrs". Somehow, the mix is OK.)
Mon 2010 Jun 21: Wrote the touch-6 script to timestamp checkpoint files 6 hours back so that make might generate a new mythtv_contents file (and a MythTV Contents page) up to 4 times a day. Added touch-6 to the site-map and site-tools pages.
Sun 2010 Jun 20: Changed "Mitretek Systems" to "Noblis" on the interesting links page.
Sat 2010 Jun 19: Pick up the watched.png and autoexpire.png icons in the MythWeb Recorded page and use them to set different background colors for the programs on the MythTV Contents page. (You can set the background color in the <TR> tag; you don't have to do it in every <TD> tag.)
Added LJ's null userpic GIF to the icon collection. Moved all the LJ and DW no-userpic icons up near the top of the page, following the active userpics (i.e. those shown from our accounts). Added 4 icons from Pictures for Sad Children and one from Garfield-minus-Garfield to the icon collection.
Fri 2010 Jun 18: Improved the layout of the new MythTV Contents page. Sort by show title ignoring the leading A|An|The. (That will take some getting used to. Done by duplicating the title before the sort, removing the leading article, sorting, and then removing the extra title. The extra title changed the offset count to the program ID, so that had to be adjusted too for the sort.) Found the total time and space recorded; added that. Added a time-sorted list of programs recorded yesterday and today.
Added recordings and livetv partition usage and last mythfilldatabase run time from the Mythtv status page (http://server/mythweb/status).
Added links to the MythTV Contents page from the Episodes List page (in the tv_episodes.tail file), the TV Remote page, and the About my TV-Program Episode Numbers Page page. (That last one tells people I can't send them recordings, which is no longer true, but I don't want to get in the business of distributing huge files with likely copyright problems – although we don't have any premium cable channels, and anything I've recorded is a public broadcast.)
Struck through the line about NetSnapShot.com on the main page, since it is semi-defunct.
Updated the playlist link for WKCR-FM on the audio-hijack schedule page. (The old one worked this morning, but got flakey this afternoon.)
Thu 2010 Jun 17: Adding a new page of MythTV Contents. New sections for mythtv_contents (daily web-data retrieve) and mythtv_contents.html added to the makefile. Not calculating total time recorded or space used (yet). Modified the replaytv_contents.tail file to add a link to the new page on the bottom of the ReplayTV contents page. Also added a link to the the main page.
Tue 2010 Jun 15: Added the Skol Vodka label to the icon collection.
Fri 2010 Jun 11: "Resume" should have either 2 "é" or none, but not just one. Corrected this on the Résumés and Politics, the main page, and on my separate résumés site.
Added a Stereotypist panel to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 June 9: Modified the makefile to use my /Users/bchivers/commands/meta-html sed script to convert some chacters in the Episodes List page into their HTML equivalents for proper display. Make a special case of "E2" to "E²"; I can't seem to get the meta-characters for "²" and "³".
Sun 2010 June 6: Changed Milleninum of Music stream source from KHKE to KSUI to go from 64K to 128K. (They're both part of the same station group in Iowa, and both are having connection problems lately. It may be a local bandwidth problem since KSUI is fine after 10:00, without simultaneous streaming of Sunday Baroque.) 3 of the 4 stations listed by PublicRadioFan as carrying Milleninum of Music at 07:00-08:00 Sundays actually air it at 09:00-10:00 (KHKE/KSUI and KUCV in Nebraska).
Added a 17:00 Sunday broadcast of Milleninum of Music (64K). There's 3 wee-hours Sunday broadcasts (00:00, 04:00, 06:00) but they co-incide with all the other wee-hours Sunday programs, and I'm trying to avoid that since I seem to have bandwidth problems. The wee-hours Saturday stream has poor sound quality. (WCLV, with many choices, including an OGG feed!)
Noticed that "Milleninum" was misspelled on the audio-hijack schedule page.
Sat 2009 June 5: Wrote the alco-week script to uncomment an additional week on the current Status Calendar page. Added it to the site-map.
Added an Ethernet cable and the Wikipedial puzzle-globe to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 May 30: Added a link to my atpic.com master gallery and mentioned MythTV on the main page. Also added a request at the bottom of the page for no site-pimping solicitations (much like the no-link-exchange request a few days ago).
Sat 2010 May 29: The BBC is dropping RealAudio for their Internet streaming March 30. Windows Media is the replacement, and that requires that I use VLC for the audio stream. Changing the BBC Saturday recordings from RealPlayer to VLC is simple. Sunday mornings at 08:00 had Sunday Baroque also running using VLC, and NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday Puzzle for 10 minutes via iTunes (3 streams at once). RealPlayer works with the WEKU stream/playlist, so just swapping between the BBC and WEKU works. Changing Sunday Baroque to RealPlayer introduces a conflict with Millenium of Music from KHKE at 09:00; change it to VLC. Using VLC with AudioHijack required playlist files for the BBC and KHKE. The UK-Midnight BBC Early Music Show never was added to the audio-hijack schedule page; added it with all the above stream-handler changes. (The BBC also added some kind of GPP stream, but that didn't work with any of my players.)
Added a picture of the Munchkin Mighty-Grip trainer (sippy) cup to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 May 25: Added a request at the bottom of the main page that people not make link-exchange requests. Next time I get such a request, I can point out that the requester clearly hasn't taken a good look at my site.
Mon 2010 May 24: PBS Masterpiece Mystery! had an absurdly long title (Masterpiece Mystery!: Agatha Christie's Miss Marple, Series V: The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side) which made a mess of the ReplayTV contents page. Modified the makefile to break the line between "Marple," and "Series".
Added 3 icons of the Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB 64MB cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" internal hard drive to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 May 23: Added 2 Bike-to-Work-Day icons, bikes@vienna's logo, the Potomac Pedalers' logo, and the VLC logo to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 May 16: Millenium of Music is coming on 2 hours later (08:00 CT/09:00 ET) on KHKE. (Don't know how long I've been getting WFMT's Beethoven Network instead....) Updated the audio-hijack schedule page. Added a new column to the audio-hijack schedule page showing the stream application. Put the URL for the stream on the application (instead of the station's call letters), and add the station's program guide to the station. Made 16x16 .PNG images from the iTunes, QuickTimePlayer, RealPlayer, and vlc application icons. (Had trouble getting Whamb, but not hijacking with it anyway.) Modified the awk.hijack.sched awk program to match. Modified the makefile to replace the application names with the icon images.
Added a ray-traced translucent Ubuntu logo to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 May 4: Added 4 icons of the HDHomeRun® Dual ATSC/QAM Digital TV Tuner to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 May 3: Belatedly added the first picture of Mel to the icon collection. (Actually the first picture from my first digicam.)
Sat 2010 May 1: Added 5 Dilbert icons, a Garfield-minus-Garfield icon, 2 talking TARDIS cookie-jar icons, the Mythbuntu TV logo, and 2 Earth-Day woot! T-shirt icons to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Apr 19: Added a Mythbuntu icon (blue Ubuntu log with a TV in the center) to the icon collection.
Thu 2010 Apr 8: Added 4 icons from Pictures for Sad Children (collateral suicides) to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 Apr 7: Added a Garfield-minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Apr 6: Added 6 woot! T-shirt icons and a Dogbert crop to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Apr 5: Added a Floppy Frog plush toy icon to the icon collection (matching the 4-legged Floppy Duck). Made a version of the Stereotypist "Yaaaaaaaaaaay!" icon split into 2 halves (2 more too-wide icons).
Sat 2010 Apr 3: Added a Garfield-minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Mar 30: Added 4 icons from Pictures for Sad Children (women sewn into dogs) to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Mar 29: Added a Garfield-minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 Mar 28: Modified the makefile creating the intermediate file rtv_episodes to stop reading the edit.epi.nos file at a line containing only the letter "q". This prevents mangling and including lines that are notes and hints, not program episodes.
Wed 2010 Mar 24: Added 3 Stereotypist icons to the icon collection.
Sat 2010 Mar 20: Added an icon from Dilbert and 3 from Pictures for Sad Children to the icon collection.
Thu 2010 Mar 18: Modified the makefile to convert "�" (looks like the degree circle in my text file) to "°" when rebuilding the ReplayTV contents page.
Sun 2010 Mar 14: Added 2 facing cats w/ Celtic knot icons to the icon collection.
Fri 2010 Mar 12: Added a Pictures-for-Sad-Children icon and a molecular model of ethanol to the icon collection.
Thu 2010 Mar 4: Added 2 Garfield-minus-Garfield icons to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Mar 2: Added the Excelsior! (whale-spout) frog woot! T-shirt icon to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Feb 27: Put tomorrow and the next day's future envents in grey (and lighter grey) on the ReplayTV contents page.
Thu 2010 Feb 25: Added Cthulhu "Oh hai there, I can haz ur planet?" woot! T-shirt icon to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Feb 22: Added another Garfield-minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 Feb 21: Added 2 Stereotypist icons to the icon collection.
Fri 2010 Feb 19: Added DaVinci's Cat, a LiveJournal userpic placeholder, and another Garfield-minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 Feb 17: Added 2 icons from Pictures for Sad Children (expired and smelling) and one from Garfield Minus Garfield to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Feb 16: Added Googley Eyes to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Feb 15: Added color aging to the ReplayTV contents page. Program titles fade from green to blue to black as they get older. "sed" patterns modify the title field for each date content match generated from date_name4 offsets.
Added 8 Kingdom-of-Loathing icons (4 each of vinyl stickers and resin models) to the icon collection.
Sat 2010 Feb 13: Added a icon of Goggle-eyes watching a computer user and a thumbnail of one of Thursday's dragons to the icon collection.
Fri 2010 Feb 12: Added a Garfield-minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Thu 2010 Feb 11: Added 5 icons (4 dragons and 1 heart of pencils) from 4 Woot! T-Shirts to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Feb 8: Added an icon from Dilbert and 3 from Pictures for Sad Children to the icon collection.
Sat 2010 Feb 6: Added 2 Garfield-minus-Garfield icons to the icon collection.
Thu 2010 Feb 4: Added a SantaBot icon to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 Jan 27: Added 2 icons from palindrome-theme woot! T-shirts to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Jan 26: Added 12 woot! icons to the icon collection – baby recorders from woot! Kids, and 11 from 10 woot! T-shirts, 9 (shirts, 10 icons) on the theme of nightmares.
Tue 2010 Jan 19: Added the "why is it in english" and "i feel terror" icons from Pictures for Sad Children to the icon collection.
Fri 2010 Jan 15: Undid yesterday's changes to awk.copy-paste and mk_copy-paste. The HTML on the LJ userpics copy-paste page is valid, but the blog-edit input is munging it.
Thu 2010 Jan 14: Modified the awk.copy-paste program and the mk_copy-paste script to preserve HTML character-entity sequences in the "ALT=" and "TITLE=" tags for copying and pasting. awk.copy-paste now puts those tags on separate lines so they can be modified without affecting the tags for the images displayed on the LJ userpics copy-paste page itself. mk_copy-paste changes all "&" sequences to "&AMP;", which prevents the browsers from recognizing the rest of the seqence as an HTML character entity. The resulting sequence can be copied and pasted into blog entries.
Added the SarcMark icon to the icon collection. Added Dreamwidth's null user icon, matching LiveJournal's "Choose default userpic".
Wed 2010 Jan 13: Added an icon of the dragon statue in Ljubljana, Slovenia to the icon collection.
Re-cropped my lj/2008.08.28-08.40.57.jpg photo of a dragon from my leather belt.
Mon 2010 Jan 11: Added 5 church/god icons from Pictures for Sad Children to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 Jan 10: Added the Woot! Vivacious Viceroy (butterfly) t-shirt icon to the icon collection. Added the 2 remaining Upper-Hand gestures from woot! T-Shirts (see Sat 2009 Dec 12) to the icon collection for completeness.
Thu 2010 Jan 7: Wrote the lj/get_DW_user_pics script script to get userpics from Dreamwidth accounts. Modified the put_user_pics script to include these userpics in the icon collection. Modified the makefile to include these new icons in the dependencies and update actions. syntonic_comma is the only Dreamwidth account appropriate to include (so far).
Added the cycling velociraptor Woot! T-shirt icon to the icon collection.
Wed 2010 Jan 6: Added an icon of a heart formed from clef signs and a Garfield-minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Tue 2010 Jan 5: Added a sand-monster icon from Pictures for Sad Children to the icon collection.
Mon 2010 Jan 4: Re-wrote the makefile section generating the ReplayTV contents page to work with the rtv file I'm maintaining by hand in my tv directory.
Added a global-warming polar-bear icon from woot! T-shirts to the icon collection.
Sun 2010 Jan 3: Added a youngish picture of J.S. Bach to the icon collection.
Fri 2010 Jan 1: Modified the makecalhtml.c program to match changes made to the 2009 Status Calendar page during the year (dates one 1 line, not 2; added the color legend at the bottom of the page). Created the 2010 Status Calendar page. Added the 2010 Status Calendar thumbnail image to the LJ icon collection. Added 2 Garfield-Minus-Garfield icons to the icon collection.

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Thu 2009 Dec 31Added 3 icons from woot! T-shirts (Valkyrie (2) and I needs a new face) and a Dalek icon from WMPT "Afternoon Tea" (!) to the icon collection.
Fri 2009 Dec 18: Added The (90-min) WKCR Bach Hour to the audio-hijack schedule page. (The URL for listening to WKCR's stream has changed too.)
Thu 2009 Dec 17: Added 3 bad-date (viral outbreak) icons from Pictures for Sad Children and 3 Firebird/Phoenix-recycler icons from woot! T-shirts to the icon collection.
Sat 2009 Dec 12: Added icons of Santa-Zilla, The Chemist, and 7 of 9 Upper-Hand gestures from woot! T-Shirts to the icon collection.
Sun 2009 Dec 6: Added 5 icons from Bill Holbrook's 2002 Kevin and Kell comics to the icon collection.
Sat 2009 Dec 5: Added 15 icons from Bill Holbrook's 2000 (8) and 2001 (7) Kevin and Kell comics and an Aztec calendar icon to the icon collection.
Fri 2009 Dec 4: Added 7 icons from Bill Holbrook's 1999 Kevin and Kell comics to the icon collection.
Thu 2009 Dec 3: Added 8 icons from Bill Holbrook's 1998 (7) and 1999 Kevin and Kell comics to the icon collection.
Wed 2009 Dec 2: Added 2 icons from Pictures for Sad Children to the icon collection.
Mon 2009 Nov 30: Added a Garfield-Minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Sat 2009 Nov 27: Added 2 stereotypist icons (internet blows) to the icon collection.
Sat 2009 Nov 28: Improved the makefile entry inserting the audio hijack_sched timestamp into the audio-hijack schedule page. The (new-to-me) -T flag for ls -l gives the year, and double $$ gets awk to work. (cut doesn't let you grab fields out of order, so awk makes it look nicer.)
Fri 2009 Nov 27: Updated the audio-hijack schedule page. Several URLs needed correction. One program from KBCS has been dropped, and another has gone from 1 hour to 3; dropping it also. (Surprisingly few schedule changes since the OS corruption that broke audio applications on my iBook in June 2008.)
Thu 2009 Nov 26: Added 2 depressed(-dog) icons from Pictures for Sad Children and one Garfield-Minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Tue 2009 Nov 24: Added a Garfield-Minus-Garfield icon ("Tickle!") to the icon collection.
Wed 2009 Nov 18: Added "The Ascent of Man" in LEGO and the "Robot Zombie Vampires from Space" Woot! T-Shirt (2 croppings) to the icon collection.
Tue 2009 Nov 17: Added 3 pictures of a snail from our yard to the icon collection.
Sun 2009 Nov 15: Added a picture of the rose boa (snake) to the icon collection.
Fri 2009 Nov 13: Added 3 miscellaneous icons (Google 404, karmatics charmelion, ABC mirror-ball) to the icon collection.
Sat 2009 Nov 7: Change the Resumé link on the main index page to point to the shadow site http://bchivers.home.comcast.net/~bchivers/ instead of the local resumes directory.

Tue 2009 Nov 3: Added icons of a patriotic vote image, a Green-Party Earth/flower logo, and a Garfield-Minus-Garfield panel to the icon collection.

Sat 2009 Oct 31: Added 6 more icons from Sanjay Patel's The Little Book of Hindu Deities to the icon collection.
Fri 2009 Oct 30: The store link for the "Everyone Loves Mummies Shirt (by verabee)" icon goes 404; can't find the image (or shirt) elsewhere. Added an icon of the SGI USB-powered FM transmitter to the icon collection.
Wed 2009 Oct 28: Added another Garfield-Minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Tue 2009 Oct 27: Added another Garfield-Minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Sun 2009 Oct 25: Added 5 Hallowen-themed icons from woot! T-shirts to the icon collection.
Sat 2009 Oct 24: Noticed that the www.kodakgallery.com slideshow links to LJ-erinaf's Croton-on-Hudson Pumpkin Blaze pictures no longer work, so I removed the links from my icons. erinaf's LJ is now friends-locked, so I can't link them to a posting there either. Noticed that the links for the Cowon MP3 player are dead too, so removed them.
Thu 2009 Oct 22: Added a Garfield-Minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Wed 2009 Oct 14: Added 4 new icons to the icon collection: 2 from Pictures for Sad Children, 1 from Garfield Minus Garfield, and LJ's Frank the Goat as a zombie.
Mon 2009 Oct 12: Added 26 new (Series-2, -3, blank, and mega (exibit-submission)) "Gwins" and a ZOMBIE Santa to the icon collection, and added artists' names to a few of the original (Series-1) Gwins.
Added a Garfield-Minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Sun 2009 Oct 11: Added 5 more icons from Bill Holbrook's 1997 Kevin and Kell comics to the icon collection.

Wed 2009 Oct 7: Added 4 camping icons from "Pictures for Sad Children" to the icon collection.
Found Michael Krakovskiy's name on the deadprogrammer.com blog and gave him credit for the RCA Wireless Maiden icon.
Tue 2009 Oct 6: Added 12 icons to the icon collection: an aerial view of the Washington, DC Mall, the Greensboro Grasshopper (baseball mascott), the Cooper's Lake Campground sign, outside and inside views of a Northwest Territory Great Haven #83-57-40 tent (from Freecycle), a plastic fish from my company-picnic, a RCA S2001 Jet 1GB Sport Media Player w/ FM Tuner (from woot!), and 5 trash-picked items – a cutlery set, a serving ladle and spaghetti spoon, a woven hamper, a 5-lamp torchiere, and a small metal basket.
Sun 2009 Oct 4: Added 3 icons (different colors) of Sunpak Flexpod Gripper Mini-Tripods from woot! to the icon collection.
Tue 2009 Sep 29: Re-cropped 9 Garfield-Minus-Garfield icons. Added a 2nd icon ("I'm surprised you listened") from the "how I spent my day" Garfield-Minus-Garfield cartoon to the icon collection.
Mon 2009 Sep 28: Added the "Oh yes, It's PARTY TIME!" Garfield-Minus-Garfield icon to the icon collection.
Sun 2009 Sep 27: Added 4 skull-themed icons from Skull-A-Day to the icon collection.
Sat 2009 Sep 26: Added larger versions of religious controversy highway signs to the icon collection.
Fri 2009 Sep 25: Added heart icons of a stack of waffles and a condom display at an Armani store to the icon collection.

Sat 2009 Sep 12: Added a photo of a mouse cat toy and 2 photos of Andrea's beadwork fish to the icon collection.
Tue 2009 Sept 8: Use webcheck's the "-f" (force) option in the makefile to overwrite previous reports.
Sun 2009 Sept 6: Installed the current version of webcheck (1.10.3):
% rm /usr/local/bin/webcheck % ln -s $HOME/webpages/webcheck-1.10.3/webcheck.py /usr/local/bin/webcheck % sudo ln -s $HOME/webpages/webcheck-1.10.3/webcheck.1 /usr/local/man/man1/webcheck.1
Updated the links for webcheck on the site-tools page.
Updated the $PYTHONPATH environment variable (needed by webcheck) in the webcheck.env script.
Modified the upload.web script to change the <BASE HREF> from http://bdchivers.home.comcast.net/ back to http://home.comcast.net/~bdchivers. The shorter one works, but webcheck reports "301 Moved Permanently" errors on every page.
webcheck ran successfully; took 1:27.
Changed http://bdchivers.home.comcast.net/ to http://home.comcast.net/~bdchivers in many files: Friend of a Friend .rdf file, linklint config file, mk_copy-paste, About my TV-Program Episode Numbers Page.
Added 4 Yuengling beer icons to the icon collection.
Sat 2009 Sept 5: Modified the edit.rtv_episodes and makefile files to clean up the Episodes List page. Replaced wild-card "." characters in program titles with "-". (The original program titles from the ReplayTV site probably had non-ASCII characters.)
Fri 2009 Sept 4: Added a new page/directory of resumés and added my August 1989 resumé as the first item. Added my resumés to the site-map page.
Added a comment to the photo albums page mentioning that netSnapShot stopped accepting photos in late 2006, and my photos are now available on atpic.com.
Thu 2009 Sept 3: Made "sanitized" versions of the main index, site-map, and site-changes pages with no references to my Politics pages or LiveJournal in preparation for releasing resumés and being Google searched. (I don't think my web site has any references to Facebook or OkCupid.)
Wed 2009 Aug 26: Added another "Garfield minus Garfield" icon to the icon collection.
Mon 2009 Aug 24: Added icons of Jesus riding a bike and Cedric (Brent) grinding spcies at Pennsic to my icon collection.
Fri 2009 Aug 21: Added another "Garfield minus Garfield" icon to my icon collection.
Thu 2009 Aug 20: Changed more icon collection URLs to point to atpic.com. 7 remain for netSnapShot that do not appear to have their source photos uploaded to atpic.com.
Added URLS for more icons that never had them.
Added one new icon each from "Garfield minus Garfield" and "Pictures for Sad Children" to my icon collection.
Wed 2009 Aug 19: Changed most of the icon collection URLs to point to specific atpic.com images instead of netSnapShot.com galleries. There's still a few (45?) left to do. Some icon files have incorrect dates in their names; commented them as I found them. A few icons do not have pictures uploaded to atpic.com (or the names/dates were too far off for me to find them).
- Advantages of atpic.com URLs: Can link to specific photos.
- Disadvantages of atpic.com URLs: No metadata until atpic provides a method bulk upload. Atpic has lost everything once; URLs were different after re-uploading.
- Advantages of netSnapShot.com URLs: Photos have metadata (descriptions).
- Disadvantages of netSnapShot.com URLs: Cannot link to individual photos, just galleries. Cannot upload new photos. (Site is comatose, but not yet dead.)
Added links to many icons that never had them.
Added a comment on the site-tools page that the mytv script is no longer useful because ReplayTV has stopped providing the source data.
Wed 2009 Aug 19: Wrote the awk.comment.netsnapshot script to insert comment lines for all netSnapShot.com links in my icon collection. I want to change all the links to point to atpic.com images, but I don't want to lose the original netSnapShot URLs. Added an entry for the new awk.comment.netsnapshot script on the site-tools and site-map pages. Added a comment on the site-tools page that the mytv script is no longer useful because ReplayTV has stopped providing the source data.
Sun 2009 Aug 16: Updated all the atpic.com URLs in my icon collection. (All my photos stored on atpic.com were lost in a server crash 2009/Jan/31. All the URLs changed when the photos were uploaded again, so all my links were broken. All the atpic-link icons in my existing journal postings all have broken links too.)
Fri 2009 Aug 14: Corrected the link for the Maryland Renaissance Festival on my index page. (Problem reported by "Jennifer" by email.)
Thu 2009 Aug 13: Incorrectly said that the atpic.upl script uploads pictures in 100KB batches; they're 100MB. Corrected the comment in the script and in the mentions on the site-tools and site-map pages.
Fri 2009 Jul 24: webcheck has been handed off to a new developer at a new website. The current version is 1.10.3 (2008-07-19) and I need to install it.
Mon 2009 Jun 22: Added atpic.upl to the site-tools and site-map pages.
Fri 2009 Feb 27: Added makecalhtml.c and the alco script to the site-map.
Mon 2009 Feb 23: Wrote the makecalhtml.c program and created the 2009 Status Calendar page.

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Sat 2008 Jun 28: Put tables of links at the beginning of each year's entries on this page. Set up links for 2004-2008, replacing the blocks of links for 2004-2005 that were there, originally meant to go every screen's worth (on my screen, which isn't particularly representative) of entries.
Thu 2008 Apr 24: Modified my mk.tv.html to add a links to the Episodes List and TV Remote page on the new (manually-updated) ReplayTV content page.
Wed 2008 Apr 23: Modified my mk.tv.html script to no longer add a <BASE HREF> tag; rely on the BASE HREF in the index page. (Probably picked this up from the calendar page, where it was also incorrect.)
Mon 2008 Apr 21: Modified my awk.calendar program to no longer add a <BASE HREF> tag; rely on the BASE HREF in the index page.
Sun 2008 Apr 20: Many improvements to the mk.tv.html script – now lists recent deletions, and dates display month names instead of numbers.
Sat 2008 Apr 19: Created a new page of ReplayTV content that will be updated manually. This will be something of a replacement for the ReplayTV contents page, since the MyReplayTV.com site is dead. Added it to the site-map, although I don't know yet what other pages I'll like to it from. (The MYReplayTV web site is defunct, so there is no longer any automated source for this information.)
Wrote the mk.tv.html script to generate the new ReplayTV content page from a text file.
Added the new mk.tv.html script to the site-tools page.
Modified the makefile to run mk.tv.html when the the source data file changes.
Added a link to the new ReplayTV content page on the home page, and struck out many ReplayTV references there.
Sun 2008 Mar 16: Updated the audio-hijack schedule page. WDAV now supports iTunes for streaming audio, so switching to the new URL for that lets me use RealAudio at the same time for the BBC's Early Music Show when the US is on DST and the UK is not. WDAV's schedule shows that they now carry all 4 hours of Sunday Baroque, not just the last 2. The first hour is concurrent with Millenium of Music on WOI, but that's RealAudio too, not iTunes. The second hour will conflict with regular broadcasts of the BBC's Early Music Show (RealAudio), and with Morning Edition Sunday's on-air puzzle (already using iTunes, so as not to conflict with Sunday Baroque previously using RealAudio). I don't know whether iTunes will do 2 programs at once. (I suspect it won't.)
Sun 2008 Feb 10: Updated the audio-hijack schedule page. WDAV now airs Harmonia at 06:00 Sundays instead of 18:00. (The change happened at least a month ago, so I have several mis-named recordings of Sacred Classics.)
Fri 2008 Jan 22: Updated the remote reference for a 2nd Philips Universal Remote.
Sun 2008 Jan 6: Made adjustments to the Audio Hijack recording schedule (get the last hour of Internet Pro Musica instead of Hearts of Space) and updated the audio-hijack schedule page to match.

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Sun 2007 Nov 18: Added Sunday-evening Internet Pro Musica from the Top-Secret Radio Network to the audio-hijack schedule page.
Wed 2007 Oct 31: The MyReplayTV.com site has been discontinued (allegedly effective Oct 26, but I got info from it Oct 28), so there can be no more updates to my ReplayTV contents page.
Mon 2007 Oct 22: Restored the 4 mp3 files removed for space reasons last week. Comcast's FTP server no longer shows the available disk quota, but I apparently have more space now.
Mon 2007 Oct 15: Temporarily removed 4 mp3 files from the site to make room for new icon jpg files. They'll be back when Comcast provides the promised disk-quota increase (from 25MB to 1GB).
Fri 2007 Oct 6: I have finally hit my personal web space disk quota at Comcast – right after they announced raising the limit to 1GB per account. I guess it's not in effect yet.
Sat 2007 Sep 29: Corrected the URL for streaming audio from WAMU's HD2 (via BluegrassCountry.org) for Thistle and Shamrock. (Had to register on BluegrassCountry.org to get access to the URL.)
Weekend Edition Sunday is now on WAMU, and WAMU now has an MP3 stream (along with RealAudio and Windows Media), so I can record the Sunday Puzzle (via MP3) while I record Sunday Baroque (in RealAudio).
Sun 2007 Sep 23: WAMU has moved Thistle and Shamrock from 17:00 Sundays to 18:00 Saturdays, and has moved to the HD2 radio service. Updated the audio-hijack schedule page.
Sun 2007 Sep 16: KSUI has changed its schedule. Hearts of Space is now on when Millenium of Music used to be on, and Millenium moves to 07:00 Sunday. KSUI and WOI appear to be the same content, although WOI's feed may be higher quality. (WAMU's schedule changes tomorrow.) Added Health in a Heartbeat weeknights, but on Mondays conflicts with (early startup for) Harmonia. Updated these changes on the audio-hijack schedule page.
Sun 2007 Aug 26: Updated the audio-stream URLs for WDAV, WKCR, and WBJC on the audio-hijack schedule page. Quicktime is working for WKCR today. (I've been back and forth with RealPlayer for that stream....)
Sun 2007 Apr 22: Updated the URL for live audio from WBJC on the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page.
Wed 2007 Mar 28: Adjust Audio-Hijack recording times and updated the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page. The WKCR Early Music Show was shifted, and no longer conflicts with the last Morning Edition Return. Pipedreams should have been struck through months ago.
Sun 2007 Mar 18: Adjust Audio-Hijack recording times and updated the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page.
Tue 2007 Mar 6: Modified the makefile to sanitize an additional company name.
Sun 2007 Mar 4: Wrote a new page About my TV-Program Episode Numbers Page explaining that my TV-Program Episode Numbers page is not a library catalog, and the programs/episodes listed there are not available for sale (or otherwise) through me. The episode-list page apparently turns up in web searches, and I've become a last hope for a few people who can't find what they want on PBS's web pages (because, for whatever reasons, PBS is not making the old programs available). I received 2 requests this weekend.
Fri 2007 Feb 23: Noticed that the Stardate radio program on WAMU had been rescheduled from weekdays at 20:04 to 21:04, and updated the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page. Went back through past recordings, and discovered this happened on 2006 December 28. Added Toccata with Mark Malinowski, a program of diverse keyboard music 18:00:15-19:00:00 Sundays on WBJC (Baltimore), recommended by Tim Burr. Removed Earth & Sky weekdays on WETA from the list also, since it is no longer carried. (WETA switched its format to all classical, with just a little news.) WETA is not carrying Weekend Edition Sunday any more either, so no Sunday Puzzle. (It had already been scratched out for conflicting with the BBC Early Music Show.)
Thu 2007 Jan 18: NetSnapShot.com (free photo-album hosting site) is back. Updated the main page and the photo albums and interesting links pages.
Mon 2007 Jan 8: Added links to websites for all the programs listed on the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page. Updated the US/Europe DST comment in the hijack_sched.tail file to reflect the US 2007 DST changes.
Sun 2007 Jan 7: KUNI Radio has dropped the Celtic Connections program Sunday afternoons. Struck it out on the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page. Found Celtic Connections at 23:00 Sundays on KUMR in Rolla, Missouri. KBCS live audio URL has changed again.

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Wed 2006 Dec 13: Updated the main page and the photo albums and interesting links pages to mention that the free photo-album hosting site I've been using, NetSnapShot.com is dead. Removed the stale info about Apple iBook logic-board warranty extensions from the main page.
Sun 2006 Dec 10: Updated the main page, the site-tools page, and the phantom Ad Hoc Singers page with the new URL to the re-hosted Ad Hoc Singers Web Site . Updated 31 bad links on this page to the old Ad Hoc Singers webpages (URL was missing ".com"). Clarified remaining links to the SitesbySteve Ad Hoc Singers pages as pointing to SitesbySteve.com/adhoc, soon to be defunct. (But the point of those change entries is that they were pointing to SitesbySteve, so it makes no sense to update them to the new hosts.)
Wed 2006 Aug 30: Re-arranged my photo albums page slightly and added new links: FSGW Folk Festival 2006, Morris Family Reunion 2006, Digi-Comp 1 computer, and XXXV (2006).
Sat 2006 July 8: Updated the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page. Added a column with the location of the radio stations (mods to the awk.hijack.sched awk program), and noted the effects of Daylight Savings Time (in the hijack_sched.tail file).
Tue 2006 Apr 18: Steve Cordle found the correct HTML syntax for adding favicons on Wikipedia. I wrote an ed script to make those changes to my web-page files, and used grep and find to find the 33 HTML files and 1 awk program that need editing.
/<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF=/ s|favicon.ico">$|favicon.ico" TYPE="image/x-icon">|p .t- s/SHORTCUT //p w q
Modified my awk.calendar program to create proper favicon tags.
Sun 2006 Mar 5: Added the last hour of the 3-hour KBCS (Seattle) program Sunday's Hornpipe to the Audio-Hijack schedule and to the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page. (This immediately proceeds the Mostly Medieval program, also from KBCS.)
Sat 2006 Jan 28: Added a new, perhaps temporary page for the Capriccio Catch Club. It has a low-quality 31-minute MP3 file of the Merrie Fellowes Catch Club broadcast on BBC-3 this morning. There was not enough room remaining in my bdchivers@comcast account to hold the 11 MB file, so I put it in the cchivers@comcast account.
Thu 2006 Jan 26: Modified the hijack_sched.head file and the makefile to add the hijack_sched file's timestamp to the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page. Added 3 programs to my Audio Hijack schedule: the BBC Early Music Show weekends, the WKCR Early Music Show Friday mornings, and 2 hours of Hearts of Space from WUIS Sunday nights.
Sun 2006 Jan 15: Wrote the awk.html.tbl awk program to convert generic files of tab-separated fields into HTML table rows. The first line of input is treated as table column headers. (The rest of the setup of the page must be done elsewhere.)
Wrote the awk.hijack.sched awk program to convert my Audio-Hijack schedule text file into an HTML table. Added lines to the makefile to generate the new Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page. Added a link to the Audio-Hijack Scheduled Recording page on the main page. Added the new awk program and web page to the site-map page. Added the new awk program to the site-tools page.
Now that I have a better idea how variables work in make, condition some of the targets on the scripts that create them. Some targets were missing from the makefile's all: and local: pseudo-targets.
Sat 2006 Jan 14: Wrote the touch-24 script to timestamp checkpoint files 24 hours back so that make will generate some pages no more than once a day.
Replaced absolute paths to scripts in the makefile with $$HOME-relative paths.
Updated the site-map page.
Wed 2006 Jan 4: New iBook G4 computer.

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Mon 2005 Dec 26: Used Barfly to generate an ABC file of the French carol Il est ne, with a PNG score and a MIDI file.
Sun 2005 Nov 27: Downloaded a new version (1.9.4) of WebCheck. Last previous run: Generated Mon Apr 5 09:03:28 2004 by Webcheck 1.0.
Sat 2005 Nov 26:
Running a "vrfy" pass to check the links. Had to remove the links to http://www.bradleyhillschurch.org/ from the calendar.html file because they hang in both webcheck and lynx.
Sun 2005 Nov 13: Wrote a new script title-tag to look for ALT= attributes without a matching TITLE=, and copy the ALT string to new TITLE info for mouse-over tooltips from Firefox. (MSIE displays tooltips from ALT, but this is considered improper behavior. The tooltip display should come from the TITLE, so I want to have TITLEs.)
Added title-tag to the site-tools and site-map pages.
Sun 2005 Sep 18: Changed my default browser from Safari (1.3.1) to FireFox (1.0.6) because Safari fails to load images too often. Used Ellipsis Productions' Safari Bookmark Exporter (1.1) to load my Safari bookmarks into Firefox. (There's some debate as to which browser is faster, but speed doesn't do any good if much of the content is dropped.)
Fri 2005 Jun 24: edit.rtv_epi_seq doesn't need to be included on the site tools and site map pages because it is generated by the makefile.
Thu 2005 Jun 23: Updated information about ImageWell updates to the site tools page. Installed ImageWell v2b222, which adds PNG support.
Added the ReplayTV editor scripts to the site tools and site map pages: edit.epi.nos, edit.episodes, edit.html.file, edit.rec, edit.shows, edit.split.titles, edit.titles, edit.year, edit.rtv.html, edit.rtv_epi_seq, edit.rtv_episodes.
Wed 2005 Jun 22: Created a new Friend of a Friend .rdf file, with links from the main page and the site map.
Tue 2005 Jun 21: Created a new geek code page with my geek code, and with links to sites to define, decode, and generate geek codes. Linked to it from the main page and the site map.
Generated a FoaF file using the foaf-a-matic generator, and linked it to the main page.
Fri 2005 Jun 10: Major improvements generating the TV Episodes page. (Found episode numbers for Hetty Wainthropp Investigates on Mystery!, and fixing those Battlestar Galactica program/episode titles that had some commonalities. I hope to find episode numbers for additional Mystery! programs.) Made some corresponding changes in the makefile. Generated an extra file of edit commands to sort the episode list by program title without altering the episode sequencing from the original edit.epi.nos file. Standardized many episode titles in the ReplayTV's edit.epi.nos file to remove many near-duplicate variants.
Fri 2005 May 6: Added tv_episodes.html to the list of targets for all in the makefile so this page will be updated when the ReplayTV's edit.epi.nos file is modified.
Sat 2005 Mar 19: Modifed the makefile to generate the new TV Episodes page.
Requires a new awk program awk.tv_episodes; added this to the site tools and site map pages.
Added links to the new TV Episodes page from the site map page and my home page.
Modified the mytv script to add links to the TV Episodes page from the ReplayTV contents page.
Tue 2005 Mar 15: blackcider.com has merged with BlueTie, an email hosting company. BlackCider's web site no longer contains information about the iBook Logic-Board Failures. I have removed the link from my home page.
Sat 2005 Mar 12: Updated the link to the Tumult HyperEdit website on the site tools page. The old link doesn't work any more.
Sat 2005 Mar 5: Renamed the mk.html.tbl3 script mk.html.tbl3c because there is now a new version of mk.html.tbl3 that creates left-justified columns instead of center-justified. Modifed the makefile to use the new script name for generating the interesting links page.
Thu 2005 Jan 27: Modified the makefile to remove more identifying text from the spam statistics page.

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004
Fri 2004 Nov 19: Wrote a new script get.episodes to retrieve TV-program episode titles with sequence numbers from the TV Tome website and generate an editor script used by the mytv script to add episode sequence numbers to my ReplayTV contents page. This is particularly useful for shows that have run multiple seasons and which now have reruns and new episodes airing. This makes it easy to watch the recorded shows in time sequence. It also identifies the the episodes that are part of a continued story. 2 shows had sequence numbers before (added manually); 27 more shows were added tonight. Added get.episodes to the site tools and site map pages.
Mon 2004 Nov 8: Added a link to the ReplayTV contents page on the remote reference page. Modified the mytv script to insert links in the ReplayTV contents page back to the remote reference page.
Sat 2004 Nov 6: Added the remote reference to the main page and the site-map page.
Thu 2004 Oct 28: Added directives to the makefile to generate a sanitized version of the spam-activity plot and table data from work.
Modified the main page and the site-map page to include the new spam-statistics page.
Thu 2004 Oct 28: Marked my calendar and the spam statistics links as [✆big] on the main and site map pages, as a notice for dial-up users.
Thu 2004 Oct 21: Modified my awk.calendar program to convert any nroff-commented HTTP URLs in my calendar.tbl file into HTML Anchor Tags on the next printable line in my calendar. This caused me to move many of the URL comments in calendar.tbl to turn appropriate lines into links.
Sat 2004 Sep 25: Added my new calendar to the main page.
Fri 2004 Sep 24: Added the Renaissance version of The Simpsons theme to the site map – it had been overlooked.
Fri 2004 Sep 24: Added the awk.calendar awk program and my calendar to the site tools page and the site map.
Fri 2004 Sep 24: Added links to 3 recently-created NetSnapShot.com albums to my photo albums page: our new (2000 used) Chevy Express 1500 Van, April & Jerry's Wedding at Camp Letts in August, and the Ad Hoc Singers at the Dominican Retreat fundraiser.
Thu 2004 Sep 23: Writing the awk.calendar program to convert my calendar.tbl file into HTML. Added the calendar.html file to the makefile.
Thu 2004 Sept 9: Added table-buttons on this page for September 2004.
Fri 2004 Jul 30: Added links on the photo albums page to NetSnapshot.com albums for Nancy Mulenex and her Memorial Service.
Added table-buttons on this page for July 2004.
Fri 2004 Jun 25: Made an MP3 of the Simpsons theme song from the Lisa's Wedding episode and linked to it from my home page.
Sat 2004 Jun 19: Added a link on the photo albums page to pictures of the Mitretek Picnic 2004 at Smokey Glen Farm.
Sat 2004 Jun 19: Added a link on the photo albums page to pictures of Chris Simkins' wedding to Melba Lacsa at the City Club of Washington.
Sat 2004 Jun 12: Added a link on the photo albums page to the new pictures of the Ad Hoc Singers party at Jane's house on the Occoquan River.
Sat 2004 May 15: Mentioned on the site tools page that Version 2 of ImageWell is out, and it does allow me to set the new image size to the pixel.
Sat 2004 May 8: Added Bike-to-Work Day 2004 to the collection of netSnapShot.com albums.
Tue 2004 May 4: Included the Ad Hoc Singers redirect page on the site map.
Sat 2004 May 1: Changed most of the Ad-Hoc Singers links on this page of site changes to point to the new location hosted by SitesbySteve, instead of any (now obsolete) local files.
Sat 2004 May 1: Show my favicon image in-line on this page of site changes instead of linking to it.
Tue 2004 Apr 27: Created a new page with links to my netSnapShot.com albums. Added it to the site map.
Mon 2004 Apr 26: netSnapShot.com has space again, so I've removed the out-of-space comment from my home page. (I uploaded my Chesapeake Weekend 2004 pictures last night.)
Sat 2004 Apr 24: Deleted the AdHoc files from my Comcast.net web-server space. Set up an AdHoc stub page with a link to the new SitesbySteve site (in case people have the old page bookmarked).
Fri 2004 Apr 23: Moved the Ad Hoc Singers pages to a new SitesbySteve site/server. Updated the Ad-Hoc Singers link on my home page to point to the new site. Removed the Ad-Hoc/Comcast lack-of-space commentary from my home page. Removed the Ad-Hoc pages from the site map.
Fri 2004 Apr 23: Modified the upload.web script to support multiple web sites. Added comments about this on the site tools page. Removed directives for the rebuilding the adhoc/past_members.html page (now hosted elsewhere) from the makefile. Added www.sitesbysteve.com to my ~/.netrc file for FTP.
Fri 2004 Apr 23: Removed Boy the Bear's Age Gauge from my home page. (Added it to the list of interesting links.) Removed Date Jesus from my home page. (It was already on my list of interesting links.)
Thu 2004 Apr 22: Created the Ad Hoc Singers rehearsal page listing the pieces we're working on.
Wed 2004 Apr 21: Added future schedule items to the Ad Hoc Singers page. Also mentioned that the Ad Hoc pages will be moving soon to www.sitesbysteve.com/adhoc.
Wed 2004 Apr 21: Updated the comment on my home page about NetSnapShot.com's lack of space – disks installed 4/19, but not yet available.
Sun 2004 Apr 18: Added a comment to my home page about the current lack of space (since 3/22) on NetSnapShot.com.
Thu 2004 Apr 15: Replaced links for Gerald Finzi (1901-1956) on the Ad Hoc Singers 2004 January concert page with direct Wikipedia links to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Finzi instead of to www.fact-index.com/g/ge/gerald_finzi.html. (fact-index.com admits that its material is from Wikipedia.)
Sun 2004 Apr 11: Added future entries to this site-change log. Included a future table-button along with all the month-jump buttons on this site-change log page.
Sat 2004 Apr 10: Added META tags to all the site pages with Description, Keywords, Owner, Author (already there), Rating, Robots, and Revisit-After content values. Modified the mytv script to include the new META tags in the HEAD section of the page it generates. Added the new tags to the default-page code snippets set up in HyperEdit.
Fri 2004 Apr 9: In the upload.web script, call FTP with the "-V" argument to turn off verbose and progress, so less info will scroll off the screen. (I made this same change to the mytv script yesterday.) Created a new file .ftp_init with initial FTP commands to send before transferring files. Added .ftp_init to the site map.
Sun 2004 Apr 4: Updated several makefile targets (check, test, vrfy, webcheck) to match the new <BASE HREF> http://bdchivers.home.comcast.net/.
Sat 2004 Apr 3: Added WHIRL (Washington's Happily Independent Recumbent Lovers) to my list of interesting links.
Sat 2004 Apr 3: Modified the upload.web script to change my <BASE HREF> from http://home.comcast.net/~bdchivers/ to http://bdchivers.home.comcast.net/. (Comcast's documentation specifies the former, but I prefer the looks of the latter, and I could not see any reason why it wouldn't work. I've been wanting to make this change for some time.)
Sat 2004 Apr 3: Tumult HyperEdit breaks hard links. Modified the upload.web script to find and restore my broken links. (They occur in a specific file-naming pattern.)
Fri 2004 Apr 2: Made tonight's changes using Tumult HyperEdit, instead of vi. (Updated the site tools page.)
Sun 2004 Mar 28: Added mention of the Date Jesus website.
Thu 2004 Mar 25: Added composer links to the Ad Hoc Singers 2004 Jan 25 concert page.
Mon 2004 Mar 22: An additional link for (ex Ad-Hoc) Debbie Pieper Fulmer's Fan Fiction.
Thu 2004 Mar 18: Added the page of other Ad Hoc Singers groups to the site map.
Thu 2004 Mar 18: Added a South African reference to the list of other Ad Hoc Singers groups.
Wed 2004 Mar 17: Added durations and file sizes for the MP3 files on the Ad Hoc Singers 2004 Jan 25 concert page.
Mon 2004 Mar 15: Added program texts and translations to the Ad Hoc Singers 2004 Jan 25 concert page.
Sun 2004 Mar 14: Added the Ad Hoc Singers 2004 Jan 25 concert page and its program to the site map.
Sun 2004 Mar 14: Created 3 new web pages using the achivers, alchivers, and jechivers subaccounts. Comcast allows 26MB per account, and I needed 62MB to hold the MP3 files from the Ad Hoc Singers 2004 Jan 25 concert. The MP3 files are split among those 3 accounts. This is not a workable long-term arrangement, and I do not have enough space here to keep adding Ad-Hoc music, let alone my pictures.
Sun 2004 Mar 14: Started a page for the Ad Hoc Singers 2004 Jan 25 concert.
Sun 2004 Mar 14: Bought an Antec NoteBook Cooler at MicroCenter. It may extend the life (or reduce the failure rate) of my iBook, where I create and edit the pages for this web site.
Sat 2004 Mar 13: Added Final Vinyl and Audacity to the site tools page.
Sat 2004 Mar 13: Recorded a snip of the .Hack//Sign closing theme song (Yasashii Yoake by Yuki Kajiura).
Sat 2004 Mar 13: Google found many more links to groups named Ad Hoc Singers, enough to merit a separate page listing them.
Sat 2004 Mar 13: Google found Stephanie Stauffer's (ex Ad-Hoc) new home page that I can add to the Ad Hoc past-members page. Google also found a link on the Arlington Forest United Methodist Church web site for Louise Lee.
Sat 2004 Mar 13: Changed the Ad Hoc Singers' favicon from the letters "AH" to the tiny words "Ad Hoc".
Fri 2004 Mar 12: Created favicon files using Iconographer. Created a .ico file of orange and blue triangles for my pages, and an "AH" .ico for the Ad Hoc Singers pages. (The favicon.ico files don't seem to work when viewing local disk files.) Added Iconographer to the site tools page. Modified the mytv script to include my favicon.
Fri 2004 Mar 12: Modified the adhoc/past_members.tail file (used to build the Ad Hoc Singers past-members page) to include a link to return to the Ad Hoc Singers home page (as other Ad Hoc pages do).
Thu 2004 Mar 11: Dubbed the MiniDisc recording of the Ad Hoc Singers 2004 Jan 25 concert (Dona Nobis Pacem) to a digital AIFF file.
Thu 2004 Mar 11: Commentary on the Ad Hoc Singers 2004/Feb/04 rehearsal page.
Thu 2004 Mar 11: Corrected a grammar typo in the upload.web, mk.html.tbl4, and get.safari.bookmarks scripts.
Fri 2004 Mar 5: Miscellaneous cleanup.
Thu 2004 Mar 4: Added my obfuscated mailto link to the EXCLUDED_URLS list in webcheck's config.py file to reduce the number of errors reported when webcheck inspects my website.
Thu 2004 Mar 4: Wrote the webcheck.env script to sent the $PYTHONPATH environment variable (needed by webcheck) and then run webcheck. I added this script because I couldn't find a way to set an environment variable in the makefile. I listed webcheck.env on the site-tools and the site-map pages.
Thu 2004 Mar 4: Added Kite Aerial Photography to the interesting links page.
Sun 2004 Feb 29: Removed dead links identified by webcheck from my interesting links page.
Sun 2004 Feb 29: Added a page describing the tools I use to maintain this site. The site-map page has been modified to list the tools under the tools page instead of under this page of site changes.
Sat 2004 Feb 28: Added an email me link with an encoded mailto tag to almost every .html page. So there isn't a need for a separate mailto page.
Fri 2004 Feb 27: Apparently comcast.net's personal web pages do not support .cgi or .pl files. Executables need to be .exe or .bin, but they don't say what these are. Assuming .exe is an Intel/MSDOS binary, that one's out. I have no idea what .bin would be. The files I uploaded with FTP do not have execute permission on the web server, and I don't "own" the files, so I can't chmod them. This means doing any HTML forms is not an option, for now. I guess I will un-retire the mailto page, and retire the feedback and feedback2 pages.
Thu 2004 Feb 26: Created the feedback and feedback2 pages to take viewer comments with form input instead of using mailto. Trying to use James Marshall's mailer.pl PERL program to process the form. Moved mailto to the old items page.
Tue 2004 Feb 24: Created a page of old items. Old things may get a respite here before they're gone for good.
Tue 2004 Feb 24: Continued last week's experiments setting up mailto support.
Tue 2004 Feb 17: My iBook died. It began working again after disassembly/reassembly Sun 2004 Feb 22. I was working on adding anti-spammer-encrypted mailto contact information.
Mon 2004 Feb 16: Added funny pictures from Poland to my interesting links page.
Mon 2004 Feb 16: Made a wish list, but it is not linked to from my homepage yet.
Sun 2004 Feb 15: Added a mention of Musica Antiqua and John Guillory to my homepage.
Sun 2004 Feb 15: Added a "local" action to the makefile to rebuild files without FTPing anything to the Comcast server. Added webcheck to the makefile.
Sun 2004 Feb 15: Added internal links by month to this page.
Sun 2004 Feb 15: Broken links to external pages have been updated or removed. (All were on my interesting links page.)
Sun 2004 Feb 15: I removed a <!BASE HREF=....> comment from the <HEAD> section of my homepage (htmlchek didn't like it) and now webcheck is inspecting my site from the top. <BASE> needs to have different values in my local filesystem and on the web server, and that comment was to serve as a reminder. (So much for comments being ignored....)
Sun 2004 Feb 15: The problems using htmlchek and webcheck may have something to do with my homepage itself. webcheck did a recursive exploration from my Ad Hoc Singers page.
Sun 2004 Feb 15: Improved some ALT tags for image-free browsers.
Sun 2004 Feb 15: Could not get htmlchek to test my links recursively. (If I have to specify every page to test, it's not very automated, is it?) Also tried lvrfy, but found that it doesn't do as much as I want. (It doesn't check external references.) Now trying Mike Meyer's webcheck – looks very nice, but it's not getting through my home page. (Hmmm, there's at least two other things out on the web named webcheck.)
Sat 2004 Feb 14: Installed htmlchek for validating my HTML code and linklint-2.3.5 for checking my links.
Sat 2004 Feb 14: Added a Site Map. Added a link to the site map from most other pages. Modified the mytv script to include links to the site-map page.
Wed 2004 Feb 11: Added a link to Boy the Bear's Age Gauge to my main page.
Tue 2004 Feb 10: My page of interesting links has been totally re-done.
Mon 2004 Feb 9: Wrote the get.safari.bookmarks script to extract links and titles from a Safari Bookmarks.plist file as anchor tags. I will use this to update my interesting links page. (If your browser ignores the script's .txt extension, try view source.)
Mon 2004 Feb 9: Added Barry Galef to my list of Friends' web sites.
Sun 2004 Feb 8: Updated the Ad Hoc Singers page. The Feb 8 concert has moved from the future to the past. Added a picture I took inside St Mary's this afternoon to the 2004/Feb/04 rehearsal page.
Sun 2004 Feb 8: Added an MP3 of the Music Box theme from the Waltz for Venus episode of Cowboy Beebop.
Sun 2004 Feb 8: Modified the upload.web script to include old (timestamp) files that have been linked into the local directories.
Sun 2004 Feb 8: Added a "reload" action to the makefile – deletes the checkpoint file used by the upload.web script so that all the files will be uploaded again.
Sat 2004 Feb 7: Added the Ad Hoc Singers' 2004/Feb/04 rehearsal page with MP3s of Josquin's Missa Pange Lingua.
Fri 2004 Feb 6: Added links to the churches mentioned on the Ad Hoc Singers page.
Fri 2004 Feb 6: Had an insight about breaking lines in tables. Improved the appearance of my links to friends' websites.
Wed 2004 Feb 4: Added a link to my Capriccio Catch Club pictures on NetSnapShot.com to the mention of the CCC on my home page.
Tue 2004 Feb 3: Hear the Renaissance version of the Family Guy theme from the Mr. Saturday Night episode.
Mon 2004 Feb 2: Created a makefile to automate rebuilding html files created from plaintext files and uploading changes.

Mon 2004 Feb 2: Added links to the bottom of the ReplayTV contents page.
Mon 2004 Feb 2: Added the time zone to the time stamp at the bottom of the ReplayTV contents page.
Mon 2004 Feb 1: Created a page of links to my friends' websites.
Fri 2004 Jan 31: Added links from the items on this page to the referenced pages modified or created.
Fri 2004 Jan 31: Modified the mytv script to generate an HTML version of our ReplayTV contents. mytv will also FTP the new page to the Comcast web server.
Fri 2004 Jan 30: Created this website change-log page. Any entries prior to this are based on memory, file timestamps, or script coments.
Thu 2004 Jan 29: Googled all the adhoc/past_members and added links to people who have web pages that I could find.
Wed 2004 Jan 28: Added the adhoc/past_members page, with links for people whose web pages I knew of.
Wed 2004 Jan 28: Wrote the mk.html.tbl4 script to generate balanced 4-column HTML tables from text lists. Requires my awk program awk.4col.
Sat 2004 Jan 24: Wrote the upload.web script to FTP new/modified web-site files from local disk to ISP's web server; tweaks <BASE>.
Sat 2004 Jan 17: First web page created by automated Comcast web-page software.
