My Family
This website contains a couple of section devoted to my
family. My second web project was a dedication to my first wife
Jolynne. She passed away in 1999 due to
a genetic illness called Neimann-Pick Type C. Since then I've remarried
and have two more children. We have some family
photo albums online although these do not get
updated as much as I'd like. My son, Fletcher,
was born with some serious health issues and so he now has a
section of his own. My wife
Denise now has entered the
blogosphere and, although somewhat computer illiterate, is getting some
great information out there about what's going on in her and our lives.
Kayleigh has also started blogging and
that's caused me to start also.
Doctor Who
This was the first website I started way back when I had 2MB on AOL.
It was also the only website I had when I got my domain
www.type40.com. I've added a few
things to the domain since then but my Doctor Who pages have been pared back
slightly. I will one day revisit these again...
Anime
Another one of my interests is anime (or Japanese
cartoons). I started off with a website dedicated to Tenchi Muyo, one of
the first anime I enjoyed since the invention of the Internet. I have
since added anime shows to this so that it has become more of a "anime that I
have seen" site. It shared a database with the Episode Guides but
can be separated out. It also shared a database with "Movies I've Seen"
for anime movies.
Episode Guides
What is this? Good question... Believe it or
not, this started when my wife got me to watching Ally McBeal with her.
We wanted to know a little more about the episodes that we missed and so I
looked them up on the web. At the time there was little on there about
them so I compiled lists of the episodes and put them online (I weird that
way). This evolved into a listing of television shows that I have
enjoyed throughout my life. When I realized that my anime pages where
beginning to mirror my episode guides, I merged the two even though you can
still see the anime separately.
Comics
I have collected comic books off and on my whole life.
I have none of the comics that I had before high school in my collection
though, I have no idea where they went. Anyway, I used to have Comic
Collector software that I used to store my collection in. I lost the
software during a computer move and the company had gone out of business.
I still had the mdb though and wrote my own software. I then created
these pages to see the comics that I have in my collection. Not
meaningful to many people other than me, but hey, that's all these web pages
are really anyway.
Oklahoma Sooners
I have lived in Oklahoma most of my life and was
raised a Sooner fan (even though my father is an OSU fan). I have
always liked watching the Sooners on TV and listening to them on the
radio. I grew more into a fan when I moved to Mississippi to go to
college. I played football there for a division II school called
Mississippi College. I was the only Okie there and had to defend the
Sooners amongst all the SEC-are-the-best people in the South.
Unfortunately that was at the end of the Switzer era and I had to hear
about all of the "evil" things that went on on the OU
campus. It was about that time that I started routing for Oklahoma
State also, although I would never pick them over OU during
Bedlam! I found that when I was in "hostile territory", I
had to pull for all of the teams from my home state.
My wife is an OSU fan but my oldest daughter likes
OU - though not a true football fan. My youngest daughter isn't all that
interested in football at this time either... I'm hoping that my son
will be so we can spend time watching the games together. Maybe one day,
when he's off the ventilator, we can catch a game in Norman...
Movies
I enjoy watching movies. I spend way too much time
watching movies. When I worked at the Secretary of State's office in
Mississippi, one of my co-workers named Richard loved movies about as much as I do.
While we were talking one day we wondered who had seen more movies so we
thought it might be fun to make a list of all of the movies we've seen.
What can I say, my freakiness has caused me to create the
Movies I've Seen section.
These Guest Books started on just the
Doctor Who section and the first entry was made on
25 Jun 2002 8:41:22 PM CST by myself. The next (external) entry was made on
26 Aug 2002 2:40:09 PM CST.
As I added more sections to this website, I adapted the Guest
Book to accommodate multiple site entries so that each section could be
separate. Although they all used the same table to store information, each
section's pages were maintained apart. Later, I combined these a little with
include pages and parameter indicating what GB to manipulate. Now in this
version I have drawn them all into one, still separate but also more together.
There are still a few bugs to work out but all-in-all it works pretty well.
I took these pages down for a while to eliminate SPAM. They
are now back online without the ability to enter a guest book entry.
