    March 2002
While I have only been doing "housekeeping" ie.  refreshing the events page, updating the shopping guide, adding new websites to the links sections and rechecking the old links etc  I thought I better make a newer entry to mention that these types of activities are always underway.

    January 20th 1999,
still working on lists.  Entered Glen Eira festival in Events calendar.

    January 6th 1999 (and onwards).
well have almost finished entering the list of web sites I obtained from the various Search Engines, the next step being to retry those sites that were unavailable when I went to visit for whatever reason (they sensed I was coming?)

   December 30th, 1998
well almost half way through the list of web sites I obtained from the various Search Engines.

    December 21st, 1998 
well almost one quarter of the way through the list of web sites I obtained from the various Search Engines for possible inclusion in the expanded Links section.  Interesting the number of sites that no longer exist or where I can find no connection what-so-ever between my search criteria and the web site the a particular Search Engine came up with.

    December 13th, 1998
added Evangelion Links page and started on Anime at Aussiecon 3 page.  More work on Links pages.

    December 7th, 1998
finally starting to enter the new expanded Links pages, expect this will probably occupy me for the rest of this month.  Added RoboMAC entry to the RPG game section.

    November 14th, 1998
managed to get computer to acknowledge that yes, it did actually still have a hard disk.  Added some entries to the Events page.  Put the bottom navigation bar on all pages - the idea of using the 'shared border' function so that I only have to enter the links once is nice but this function has stopped working at least twice leaving me to finally notice "that's strange I thought I had a navigation bar on that page, and that one and .  .  .  "

    October 17th, 1998
minor changes to wording, most effort on working with Search Engines in preparation for a somewhat expanded Australian Links page.

    October, 4th, 1998
finally implemented Message Board section, and updated the Screening Details.

    September 20th, 1998
finally got round to updating the Main Collectors Anime listing.

    9 August 1998:
more work on Odds'N'Ends section.  Do work reviewing the 'Review" section, changing wording and adding more shows.

    Late July 1998
added details of anime being shown at the 47th Melbourne International Film Festival.  Do a lot of work on "Reviews" and put a couple of initial entries on the "OddsN'Ends" pages.  For the various "Game" pages moved the hyperlinks to the respective companies to the bottom of those sections in line with advice from various "How To .  .  " web page design guides.

    Early July 1998
mainly recover from putting on anime video program at Arcanacon plus the usual work on the site - add new links, change wording of various sections, move Arcanacon XVI from "Coming Events" to "Recent Events" section etc.

    Late June 1998
still making alterations to the web pages.  Added Swinburne Anime Society with link to their web site and mentioned Monash University Anime Club.

    Early June 1998
I have taken over the responsibility in looking after this site from fellow founder Robert Thompson.  True to the idea that a new broom may sweep clean but it will at the least raise a lot of dust, I have made some changes to the site format and have added the "Events", "Games" and "Shopping Guide" pages.  Also did work on arranging an anime video program for Arcanacon XVI.
