Site Updates
April 11, 2004, 11:04 PM – Upon further analysis of the mess, what I'm going to do is simply rip out the Web site as it stands on the server and upload a new copy of it from the master that I have on my computer. That should fix things, and get things working when they should. I probably won't do that until Tuesday, though, so hold on. You can still shop in the Online Store using CafePress's interface until I get the regular site working again.
April 11, 2004, 10:45 PM – If you are reading this message, then you are looking at the NEW version of the site. The site has not been hacked or otherwise altered by intruders, but rather we are in the process of completing a server move, and I'm still getting settled in. Until we get everything put back where it needs to be, The Schumin Web Community will be temporarily offline, and some images and features may not work. Use the Alternate Navigation page to navigate the site until I get the regular menus working. Please stay tuned to the site updates for further updates as I get settled back in.
April 8, 2004, 2:58 AM – My provider will be moving The Schumin Web to a new machine in the next couple of days. I apologize in advance if this causes any site outages. I will let you know when the move is completed.
April 7, 2004, 1:38 AM – Through April 19, use the coupon code GOSPRING in the Online Store to save $2.00 on all hats.
April 3, 2004, 12:59 AM – Updated Contact Information for Schumin Wireless, as well as did a couple of other minor updates. Also rolled the Archives once again. For April, that means I opened up the 2004 quote archives, with a page for both first and second quarter. I also added the April 2004 journal archives.
April 1, 2004, 12:45 AM – My cell phone now has Instant Messenger on it! You can now reach me on the go via AOL Instant Messenger by sending messages to the screen name Schumin Wireless.
March 29, 2004, 10:36 AM – I believe that my Email is now operating correctly again. But if you are at all doubtful, IM me anyway.
March 29, 2004, 5:33 AM – My host is doing some server changes right now, and so my Email is temporarily a little screwy. If you need to contact me, please IM me.
March 23, 2004, 12:47 AM – Added a new Photography set, entitled A Sunny Day at the Capitol, about a brief visit to the US Capitol on March 20.
March 19, 2004, 4:17 AM – Through March 22, use the coupon code LUCKYGREEN in the Online Store to get $4 off any order that totals at least $40.
March 17, 2004, 1:17 AM – In celebration of having spent eight wonderful years online as of March 23, I temporarily changed the quote page logo to reflect this. You may ask what the significance of the sunburst is? Count the number of points.
March 3, 2004, 1:20 AM – Changed the splash page picture on the Web site from "Ugly Fruit" to "Head Boppers" for March, with this file photo from August 2002, taken in Potomac Hall. And yes, that shirt did have a logo on it at one time, but it has been airbrushed out.
March 2, 2004, 1:20 AM – Added Journal Archives for January, February, and March.
February 25, 2004, 9:08 PM – Please consider making a donation to my friend Cassie's Relay for Life team. She's a friend from JMU, and it's a good cause.
February 12, 2004, 1:10 AM – Email is once again functioning correctly, as my ontgoing Email server is no longer an open relay, and thus we've gotten off of all the blacklists we used to be on. I updated the Contact Information page to reflect this. Also, I have added a new section to the main quote page in order to show the titles of the three most recent journal entries.
February 3, 2004, 11:26 AM – Updated the Splash Page for February, where I'm contemplating Ugly Fruit. I also updated the Splash Page Archives through the current month. So we're now all up to date on that.
February 3, 2004, 1:54 AM – Updated the About Me and College Life inroduction page to reflect the fact that I've now graduated from college.
January 18, 2004, 10:20 PM – Completely overhauled Transit Center section on Washington DC Rail, aka Metro, is now complete and online. The biggest change is the addition of a System Map with links to all stations right on the map.
January 15, 2004, 9:17 PM – I am currently having problems with my Email. I can receive Email but cannot send it out at this time (don't know what's going on). I'm working on the problem, but until it's fixed, if you want a reply back to me, please scroll down the page and contact me via Instant Messenger.
January 4, 2004, 4:44 PM – Changed the splash page picture, as well as the URL for the image, since people like to remote-link that image far too much. Also, yes, that is a WHITE sign for Metro.
December 15, 2003, 1:00 AM – Fixed some date glitches caused by an incorrect server clock which set some forum posts, journal entries, and site update entries to appear posted in the year 2003. The site updates and journal entries have been corrected. The forum will not be corrected.
December 12, 2003, 1:15 AM – Finally, a new, permanent setup for the Journal Archives.
December 11, 2003, 1:50 AM – Fixed a glitch regarding the survey in the Quote Archives.
December 6, 2003, 12:38 PM – Did some work on the Quote Archives to make them more "search engine friendly", so to speak. Note that the URLs have changed for the Quote Archives, but there is no change in operation. Also updated the Splash Page Archives to bring that up to date through the current month.
December 6, 2003, 1:57 AM – Changed the splash page picture for December. This picture was actually an alternate from last year's Christmas picture photo set that didn't get used before.
December 1, 2003, 11:50 PM – Registration is now required on The Schumin Web Community in order to post. You must be registered to post, but you do not have to be registered if you only want to read messages.
November 15, 2003, 5:46 AM – One of my long-term projects, the redesign of Almond Street, my stock photography site, has come to completion and is now in service.
November 6, 2003, 12:37 AM – I'm currently changing nameservers for schuminweb.info. If the regular community.schuminweb.info URL for the forums goes out during this transition (I don't expect it to, but just in case), the forums can still be reached here.
November 5, 2003, 12:37 AM – Fixed a glitch in the Pittsburgh trip in regards to the full-size pictures. Now the full-size images will load correctly.
November 3, 2003, 3:22 PM – Added two new two-part photo sets! One is Pittsburgh with LPCM in College Life, and the other is Afton Mountain: Victim of Progress in the Photography section.
November 2, 2003, 12:05 AM – Changed splash page picture to one that Kathleen of LPCM took of me moving furniture at Sojourner House in Pittsburgh, since October is over, and on November 1, Halloween must go.
October 29, 2003, 1:35 PM – Added new banner advertisements in affiliation with allposters.com
in the banner ad location.
October 28, 2003, 5:21 PM – My Email is now moved over to its new server and free of the industrial-strength spam filters that were eating all kinds of messages previously. So feel free to contact me and I'll definitely see it.
October 22, 2003, 10:23 PM – My Email will be moving to a different server soon in order to avoid some nasty spam filters. So... your Emails may arrive late to my inbox, but I've been told that no Emails will be lost. However, if it's urgent, please contact me via Instant Messenger.
October 21, 2003, 1:27 PM – Added new Fitted T-Shirts to the Online Store.
October 16, 2003, 2:10 AM – New splash page picture, this time all festive for Halloween. Note the Harry Potter picture in the background, which I did not realize was even there until long after the picture was made.
October 8, 2003, 12:49 PM – The Online Store has undergone an overhaul! It is now powered by new ASP code, and additionally, you will find some changes in what is offered in the store, particularly the new Photography category.
October 8, 2003, 10:57 AM – Fixed a glitch in the Photo Outtakes 2 page. Now all the images there load to full-size.
September 28, 2003, 2:51 PM – Fixed the menu reference for Life and Times entrance page. This affects the scroll-menu and Alternate Navigation pages.
September 19, 2003, 4:34 PM – This has nothing to do with Schumin Web, but it's another Web site I do. LPCM's Web site has had another facelift, and you should check it out. Some faces may be familiar from Schumin Web photo sets, and others may be new.
August 30, 2003, 9:41 AM – The Life and Times journal got a bit of a facelift today... check the journal for more details!
August 25, 2003, 12:15 AM – A number of new things have come to life on Schumin Web, back after a brief site outage. First of all, Movie Outtakes is now two pages, as we have Movie Outtakes from 2002 and Movie Outtakes from 2003. Also added some new pictures to Photo Outtakes 2. In Life and Times, a new photo set is available, called The Anatomy of a DC Trip.
August 23, 2003, 12:18 AM – Added picture of the Potomac Hall Staff in College Life Senior Year. Goes with a Journal Entry in Life and Times, believe it or not.
August 18, 2003, 1:40 AM – The first new Life and Times photo set, entitled Big Mavica Hits the Scene is now online!
August 18, 2003, 1:26 AM – The Schumin Web is now completely fitted with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)! Its effect on you as a viewer is expected to be little to none. However, for me, it makes changing colors and such a breeze!
August 15, 2003, 6:21 AM – Fixed a misprint in The Anatomy of a DC Trip. Now, the navigational links for that photo set refer to the right photo set, and not the Virginia Beach photo set.
August 10, 2003, 12:30 AM – Changed splash page picture to one of me taken on the Metro during a recent trip to Washington DC, aboard Breda 2008, on the Orange Line to Vienna.
August 7, 2003, 11:21 PM – Switching The Schumin Web over from regular body tags and such to cascading style sheets. Why didn't I do this during the redesign, when the site was already all torn apart? Oh, well. During the conversion, there may be times when some pages have no formatting.
July 31, 2003, 5:19 PM – Made some minor wording corrections in the A Protest Against the War photo set.
July 23, 2003, 9:22 PM – The redesigned version of The Schumin Web is now online! All pictures, databases, and multimedia are again operational.
