Network News: Had a hard drive crash. In fact it was very physical. The read write arms must have twisted like cork screws. No portion of the drive was accessible. I suspect death by static electricity. Because this is an removable hard drive death was most likely induced by curious individual who knows not a damn thing about computers.

Well the short story is that I'm up and running again.

Local News: Have to get caught up again. I lost a lot of updates on the hard drive.

Coming Soon: New graphics.

Network News: Have found help at Web Wiz Forums site. And you should be seeing our very own HobbysOnline Forum. I'm going with the SQL version as it can handle many more members than the Access version. So look for an announcement right here, that the HobbysOnline Forum is up and running.

UpDate 092405: From now on I'm spotting the latest news on the Home page. It will save visitors that extra link if they only want to catch the latest HobbysOnline network site news.

UpDate 092305:

Announcement: HobbysOnline network now has an onsite Forum.

This new forum is a Web Wiz Forum as such it seems to be very fast as efficient. I was actually very easy to set up after I finally understood the steps taken during installation. The problem was in translation. The owner developer of Web Wiz Forum is a coder by nature and he wrote the install instructions with a little bit of code speak accent. He has tried and failed to have someone at his website forum write a common speak set of instructions. He is left writing the translation himself. I wish him luck because his forum would become very popular.

Local News: The Network Email list is now complete I will link them in each NET very soon. New Forum Link at Forums NET.
UpDate 092305: The Forum is still under construction but browse through, let me know what you think and give me some feedback. A few new posts at 3D games NET.

Coming Soon: A Chat Room, A Blog (of some sort), and an Image Gallery.
UpDate 092305: False Alarm. The above perks are only available from my web host provider with certain type of web site build. I'll just keep on lookn'.

I have been away for a while and I'm sorry. But I had a wimpy computer to nurse and a new computer with start up blues. With everything finally installed on the new computer it should be smooth sailing.

The web site is even more behind because in the transfer to the new computer I lost a more recent backup that contained at least several weeks worth of work. It unfortunately didn't get posted to the web either but some of the content is archived somewhere and I just have to dig it out and repost, other stuff was off the cuff and is partially lost till I remember.

If you do want to see even more content think of Getting Involved.

Local News: 3D games NET and Paranormal NET have new postings.

Coming Soon: More Content.
