| 22 June 2000 | Discontinued a page containing links to people with EOS
equipment. No time to maintain it properly. |
| 28 August 1999 | A long-overdue update of the experimental
discharge curves of electronic flash was completed and went online. Some
links were also updated. |
| 07 July 1999 | Updated many of my photo pages.
Also created a separate version of the What's new
page for the Tallinn site. |
| 06 July 1999 | Updated the Canon EOS feature list and
Introduction to EOS cameras with info on the newer
models. Also completed stage 1 of the move by replacing the former
home page with a list of pointers and making the Tallinn
home page "official". The links at the top navigation bars now point back
to the photo page in Helsinki, rather than the old home page. |
| 03 July 1999 | Updated the research (formerly science)
page and related pages and moved them to Tallinn. |
| 02 July 1999 | Updated the contacting me page
and also moved it to the Tallinn server. Also replaced the e-mail
addresses everywhere with a new one.
The whole "links" hierarchy will be discontinued (I have no time
to maintain the links even though I have some software to help me).
Therefore all pointers to the "links" were removed. The photo links,
which is visited a lot, was moved to a new URL. |
| 29 June 1999 | Revised the Flash FAQ. The changes
are mostly cosmetic. |
| 28 June 1999 | Created a new development tree in Tallinn. |
| 28 May 1999 | After more than nine months, I finally got around to start
the move of the web-pages to Tallinn. It will be a long process, and I started with
the supporting services, such as the links database and feedback
form processing. For a while I will try to maintain cross-links
between the old and new site, making it appear as a single site.
The first page actually moved is the feedback form. |
| Also for the record, the overall hit counter shows 277318, with
photo at 35K, intro to EOS at 23.5 K
and Flash FAQ at 22.8K. Six pages have crossed
the 10K mark. |
| 12 August 1998 | In anticipation of a forthcoming move of this site
to a different server, I removed all links to several pages which I
plan to discontinue. The pages are left in place for the time being,
so that people finding them in search engines still can access them.
The local search engine was of big help in
finding some obscure links to some pages. The number of indexed pages
at this site dropped from 102 to 68. |
| 01 July 1998 | It had long puzzled me, why Alta Vista recommends my
photo page to people searching for "h i d d e n c a m e r a s"
(I spaced it out to avoid false hits to this page.) Finally I
found the word "h i d d e n" in an obscure place there and replaced
it with another word. Hopefully Alta Vista will notice. |
| 16 June 1998 | Changed the layout style of all pages again. Created the
navigation bar at the top. |
| 24 April 1998 | Small updates to my science page. |
| 15 March 1998 | The total hit count for all my pages crossed 100000 last night.
The top pages are photo (12200), Flash FAQ
(7500) and the EOS feature list (6600). |
| 10 February 1998 | Added local search facilities
to the site. The engine uses Glimpse, but I found
their web-offering, the WebGlimpse, over-featured and too complicated
for my tiny site. So I wrote some scripts of my own. |
| 31 January 1998 | The photography page crossed the
10000 visitors mark today. The cumulative counter of all pages reads 83974. |
| 30 January 1998 | Added two pages on a molecular
plotting program ORTEP to the science section. Modified
the science and
contacting me pages. |
| 19 January 1998 | Changed the style of all my pages: the title is now
enclosed in a frame, and the navigation buttons at the bottom look
different as well. While all pages
contain <TABLE> tags now, they should still make sense even with
browsers which do not understand HTML tables.
Modified and updated several pages, most noticably the home
and science pages. |
| 16 January 1998 | Replaced the background color with a background image
(which should reproduce a similar color). Altered the colors in the
tables of the current EOS cameras page. The aim
of this is to get the same background with different browsers and
platforms. |
| 20 December 1997 | The links pages are now database-backed
(although not dynamically generated).
The content remained almost the same at the moment, but managing of
these pages should be different from now on. |
| 08 December 1997 | Added a page on auto-bracketing
and remote control with the EOS Elan II/EOS 50 camera. |
| 31 October 1997 | Small cosmetic changes to some of my
photo pages. |
| 26 September 1997 | My pages reached the 50000 hit mark tonight.
Daily access numbers vary from 200 to 400, with drops below 200 at
weekends. The introduction to Canon EOS cameras
is averaging over 10 readers/day, even though Alta Vista indexed it
just two days ago. |
| 12 September 1997 | Two new pages on photography:
introduction to Canon EOS cameras and on
changing film mid-roll with EOS. |
| 08 September 1997 | Replaced the image on my home page
with a better scan of the same photo. |
| 29 August 1997 | Practiced creating and processing of HTML forms
by making a feedback page. |
| 7 August 1997 | Reorganized a page which advertised items I had
had for sale. The items have been sold and links to the page
were removed. Also moved some links around and
added a reader's response to the fungus in lens
page. |
| 3 July 1997 | Removed a photo. Added some links. |
| 1 July 1997 | Changed telephone number in the
Contacting Me page. |
| 27 June 1997 | Small changes on the fungus in lens
page. |
| 25 June 1997 | Generated a PGP keypair and made the public key
available at the Contacting Me page.
Note added 02-July-1999: Nobody seems to send me encrypted mail,
so the key is not available any more. |
| 19 June 1997 | Updated the science page to reflect
the current state of my research. |
| 17 June 1997 | Moved logging information out of a publicly accessible
directory into a private one to improve security. Cleaned up some
old (retired) files and directories. |
| 16 June 1997 | Created the Exposure Value page. Added a
link to the What's New page to the bottom of all pages. |
| 11 June 1997 | A recent mentioning of my EOS list members page on the list has generated several new
additions to that page. |
| 10 June 1997 | Created this file. For the record, the current
status of my pages is (as of 1997/06/10 14:31 GMT):
| Total hits to all pages: | 28891 |
| Most popular pages: |
|
| Number of pages on-line: | 102 (this includes this page, CGI scripts,
and pages with just one photo). | |
| Events down from to this place have been written from memory
and by studying the access log files |
| May 1997 | There are still hits to the QTP "ghost" pages (18 in May).
Unfortunately the referers are unknown. Alta Vista revealed some
references and I asked the owners of the pages to change the links.
Some of the hits can not be explained by these findings, however.
It is surprising how long it takes for old links to die! |
| April-May 1997 | Busy working at the job and moving to new home.
No changes except for new links and fixing typos. Nevertheless,
100 hits/day becomes the norm, with 200 being no exception. |
| March 1997 | While I have added very little new contents, many days
are seeing 100 hits/day. There are a lot of hits to the
dust mite pages, even though the META tags should
discourage people who seek info about mite allergies from accessing
it for "wrong" reasons. |
| 31 January 1997 | The new system goes on-line. Maintaining the pages
will be easy from now on. |
| 29 January 1997 | The EOS list members studying
the pictures bring a new record: 455 hits/day, and over 1000 in 3
days. |
| 28 January 1997 | While the m4-based system is not on line yet, I am
giving it a try by creating some hummingbird picture pages for Adam
Lane. These pictures are not here any more, you can see them at
Adam's site. |
| December 1996 | I am working on the m4-based link and format system.
No changes in contents. |
| November 1996 | Number of hits is steadily growing. 30-40 a day is
quite normal, and over 100 happens once per two weeks. |
| 30 October 1996 | Retired the image-based access log script in favour of a C program. Also record HTTP referers now. |
| 13 September 1996 | The pages are up in Helsinki. QTP pages replaced
with pointers to the new address. |
| July 1996 | I leave Florida. The pages stay there, getting 20-30 hits
on an average day. |
| 17 June 1996 | EOS list members page announced.
92 hits this day. Note added 22-jun-2000: this page has been discontinued. |
| 11 June 1996 | EOS feature list announced.
Over 20 hits/day normal. |
| 29 April 1996 | First hit to my EOS feature list.
I was still working on it at that time. |
| May 1996 | Daily hits by people I do not know. Apparently net search
engines have noticed my pages. |
| 25 April 1996 | Adam Lane's
Dust mite image posted. Hits from
EOS list members. |
| April 1996 | After announcing my camera for sale, lots of hits to
the camera advertisement. |
| 02 April 1996 | The Sanibel photos were scanned.
The announement to all the people in the pictures caused numerous hits. |
| Late March 1996 | It appears from the log files, that by this time I had
already my links pages spread out by topics (just as
they are now).
Note added 02-07-1999: The links pages were discontinued in mid-1999. |
| 14 March 1996 | At 14:15:28 GMT, AccessLog recorded the first hit from outside QTP,
from a machine called sadman.digit.ee. |
| March 1996 | Created the original "Access Log" script
to track hits to my pages. I used to have it available for downloading, but removed it
in August 1998 as part of a website restructuring. |
| 13 February 1996 | The original links page, CV, and camera
for sale appear to be up. |
| 12 December 1995 | First access from outside University of Florida,
from myristaja.eenet.ee, at 11:10:23 GMT. Probably I had
started to include my URL in my signature. |
| 11 December 1995 | My photo (which was on my home page until 1999) was up and
accessed by the photographer, Uko Maran. |
| 03 October 1995 | The first record of accces to my links page (by
myself). Apparently the first pages (home and links) were created
at about this time. |
