In the Summer of 2006, an unloved website, considered long-extinct, showed threatening signs of springing back to a horrible-species of half-life. Someone have dug out his antique webpage software, relearned to write web-pages of the simpler kind and vowed to revenge himself on the unlistening world by publishing several new, unwanted pages mainly on cinema.

I stretch, yawn, and decide to reorganize the whole site:
1: Items divided up into sets of unconvincing themed Studies;
2: Added Cinema section: Did you see what I did? Do you know what it means? to give the Capricorn study some company.
3: Backblogs for January 2006 to July 2006;
4: Piffle Prospector - Fortean Blog started July 2006;
5: Did you see what I did? Do you know what it means? long study of Hitchcock's Under Capricorn. Continues to grow horribly.
6: Finally Retired: Catalogue Organizer & Classical Developments pages. RIP.
June, 2006
Did you see what I did? Do you know what it means?
Hitchcock's Under Capricorn Reassessed.
A short review of one of Hitchcock's least popular films for the Hitchcock Message Board unexpectedly grows into a long and painful work in progress.
I dust off my web software to see if I can create a new page to house the gangling new offspring. I can but it lives alone, unconnected to the rest of the site and originally linked via Hitchcock Message Board & Fortean Times Message Board only.
Summer 2001 to Summer 2006
Nothing at all happens. A few nice people send me e-mails to say they have visited my mad oasis.
I change computers and forget even the basics of webpage-writing.
Summer 2001
Classical Developments: Elgar's Enigma Unveiled
A nearly-real website with some half-serious studies of music and literature.
Summer 2000
Hades: The Classical Hell,
a wee site set up mainly to publicize the horribly complicated and fatally underpriced Catalogue Organizer Software.
