THE OBSERVATORY Update Log |
Site Update History This page lists significant updates to The Observatory as they occur. Since this site is very new and under construction, at this point I probably won't list minor corrections, fixing bad links, etc. To avoid cluttering my navigation section, this page is linked only from the main page, though it links to all the topic pages. |

Obviously, I stopped updating my "updates" years
ago! But as of March 26, 2006, I'm reloading the site from a new computer, so the
