Past Updates:

March 2, 2001: I am indeed alive.  In fact, I've added something worth reading in the Miscellaneous Lunacy section.  It's all part of my secret plan to take over the world - I mean, er, it's a very useful document worth reading, and you should, um, read it.  (Yeah, that's it.)  Anywho, click here for the Introduction to the Total Genius's Guide to Idiocy.  I also added John Dante's slightly cynical Fish and the Purple Envelope to the Literature section.
November 8, 2001: After a letting it be much longer than it deserved, I have removed the entire Realm of the BIG CHEEZ.  Instead, I've uploaded two new works of poetry:  Solvence--a complement to Sleep Shades--and Nectar and Ambrosia--a poem whose title I did not misappropriate.  After some deliberation, I have decided to leave Cheddar and Lactos: The Clash of the Perishables online at least temporarily and have made piddling improvements to one of the documents thereof.
November 1, 2001:  This is not in fact the only time I've updated this website in the past six months.  But it is the first time I've implemented new features important enough to deserve a news flash.  New to the ranks of the Literature section are the poems Torrent, The Words I Choose, and Drown, and Dream, and A Dawn of Tears, along with the Introduction to the Total Genius's Guide to Idiocy and some minor updates within already published episodes of The Twilight Series.  Thank you all for you support, even in silence.  College leaves me little time for writing, but I hope to get around that...

April 6, 2001: Sadly, I missed out on a chance to announce a crazy and impossible occurrence five days ago; so I will list one equally impossible today.  I have resumed work on the Nick Twilight series.  Episode 19 - Third Degree for a Wounded Hero is complete--well, actually, I probably will improve it, but it is at least readable.
March 16, 2001:  Well, Billy the Kid has finally relinquished the Spotlight to a nameless starter Raichu with Encore.  In other news, the "(I'm not at liberty to say what this is.)" section has been opened!  The Cheez War Annals have begun with two documents: The First, Last, and Final Battle and Lactos: A Retrospective - Part One.

February 17, 2001: I've added the Strategy Spotlight section.  Right now, there's an idea for a Slowbro moveset in the Spotlight.  I plan to change the contents every so often...  It's been a while since the last update; I've used all of the time I decided to spend on pokémon working on my Game Boy.  If only Pokémon Stadium 2 would hurry up and arrive.  The Jolteon database has some errors in it at the moment.  They will be fixed shortly.

February 7, 2001: Yup..  More work on the Jolteon database.  It's reaching the point of usefulness now.  Also, the poem I mentioned earlier is starting to gain a possible form.  Finally, a slight error with the page heading area was corrected.
February 6, 2001: I've done more work on the Jolteon database.  The section is now accessible, but only a fraction is complete.  Also, I've registered for a ranking system.
January 31, 2001: I'm working on a strategy breakdown for Jolteon.  I'm not sure when it'll be completed.  So far, I've just entered the stats and moves.  The page is not yet accessible.  I'm also toying around with the beginnings of a new poem...
January 27, 2001: So I've been slacking off...  Just call it extended Christmas holidays.  Anyway, I've finally proofread the Snorlax Database (and changed a few minor things) and fixed the link in December 20's update.   Oh yeah!  And by the way, this is the first update of the new millennium.  *trumpet sounds*

Well, it seems that all of my ranking systems (and the pokémon search engine) have gone out of business, so to speak.  Anyway, they're not operational - so I've deleted the icons from the column to the left.  That should clear some space...

I've finally gotten around to proofreading all but the storyline portion of the Red/Blue Review.  I've added or changed some very minor pieces of information also.  I intend to put up the equations for calculation such things as damage, stats, exp. growth, etc. (that may be all..) later on.

December 20, 2000: The Snorlax database is completed.  Take a gander.

Ha!  I just read the team made by "Nintendo experts."  It seems a little frail.  Take a looksy right here.

December 20, 2000: The Snorlax database is completed.  Take a gander.
December 19, 2000: I've added a new poem (A Dawn of Tears) to the Literature section.  I quite like it...  It's been entered in the monthly contest at www.poetry.com and I await developments.  (Actually, I await the form that poetry.com always sends me about letting them use my poem in their anthology...)  Take at look at it.

Second update:  The Snorlax section has been started in the Strategy section.  It will be finished soon.  (But the real question is, is Snorlax a large, blubby cat or an overweight bear?  Email me your vote.)  Also, a minor error (kindly pointed out by Lugia: The Flying Fish) in the Alakazam database has been corrected.  It seems that I had lessened Alakazam's lowest possible max HP by 100...  Also, I've put up the News Archive section, in which I intend to store most of the embarrassingly old updates formally listed below.

December 12, 2000: I was temporarily confused about the date heading of this entry being longer than the last, until I realized that there was an extra digit in the date.  Maybe that goes to show that there is something seriously wrong with me, or maybe I was just temporarily bewildered by the overly complex data I was taking in.  Hm...  Regardless, I still have been trying to create and upload a guestbook to the website and still have been entirely unsuccessful.  Oh yeah, I also fixed a typo in the intro which was ironically in the same sentence as the request for you to notify me of any errors you find on the page.   I wonder if I did that deliberately...

Second update:  I have updated the Alakazam article on the Strategy section of the Pokédex.  I am currently gathering information on other unlisted Alakazam strategies.  The News section of the Pokédex has been shut down until further notice.

December 8, 2000: I've added three new poems, "Sleep Shades", "Words to the Young", and "Time-locked."  Of the three, "Sleep Shades" is my favorite I believe, but it is not well-read on this website.  It better appears when stark against a pure white background.  Many episodes of Nick Twilight have been altered.   I'm considering rewriting several of the early chapters...
December 1, 2000: Episodes 1 - 5 have been updated.  Episode 18 has also been revised, but has not been uploaded to this site.   A considerable portion of the remainder of Episode 19 was also written.  I added a Strategy section to the Pokémon section.  The only file currently there is a list of Alakazam strategies.  In other news, it's been a whole long time since I updated.  Now I have a lot of G/S stuff to put up.  Better get busy...
October 8, 2000: I fixed a few minor errors in episode 18 (2 typos and a misspelled word) and made a few descriptions more, er, descriptive.  Episode 19 is being written.
October 7, 2000: No update today, but I would like to announce that the site has finally reached 100 visitors!  (yay.)
October 6, 2000: I've added invisible tables to all of the poetry and story pages to make them more readable.   A few minor (very minor) changes have been made to the following: The Order of the Procession of the Cosmic Powers, Wise Words from Confuscious, and Episode 2 of the Nick Twilight Series.  Also, instead of spiraling in or zooming in, the major pages of this site now disolve.  I added some bookmarks to parts of the Literature section in the left column.  And finally, I've saved the best for last.  Episode 18 of the Nick Twilight section is now up!   Time to read.

(I added this on later):  Yes, more updates.  I've put a Pokémon Yellow Guide up, error-checked Episode 18 of the Nick Twilight series, and added bookmarks to my Red/Blue Review to make it easier to navigate.

September 29, 2000:  Chapters 16 and 17 of the Nick Twilight Series have been updated.  The change in the plotline is significant for at least the next few chapters.  Chapter 18 is now being written.
September 24, 2000:   I've registered with two top sights listings now.  Check out my ranking on the column to the left.
September 22, 2000: *pants*  I finally finished the Red/Blue Review!  Well, I guess its more like an epic or a novel.  I've worked hours and hours and hours on that thing!  Took me all afternoon from about 6:45 to 11:00 just today, plus many more times that amount of time on the 17th and 18th!  I think I managed to cover just about every aspect of the game.  Check it out in the Games Reviews/Previews section.  Also, today is a momentous occasion for my website!  At least one visitor other than my personal friends has visited this website as of now.  Thank you, Red XIII!  And lastly, I updated The Order of the Procession of the Cosmic Powers in the Literature section.
September 17, 2000:  I've opened the Game Reviews/Previews section of the pokédex!  All that is included so far is a rather extensive and elaborated version of the Red/Blue plotline, but I'm adding to that!
September 15, 2000:   The icon in the upper-left corner was added, and a border was placed around the left-hand column of the page as well.  On top of it all, I've started to create a new game review and preview section!  I spent an hour or two writing a review of Pokémon Red/Blue and am still working on it! 
September 13, 2000:  I posted chapter seventeen of the Nick Twilight series in the Literature section and also posted all seventeen chapters in the Pokémon section.  I fixed a link, concealed several, er... controversial pages, and looked into getting more of my material legally copyrighted, so just be careful about copying and pasting.  Several hours were spent for promotional purposes.
