The front page has gone back to its previous table-of-contents design, in a typical display of indecisiveness.

Sunscreem's Ten Mile Bank at the Textuary.
22.11.2001

After a rethink and a slight restructuring, I've turned the new front page of two days ago into the first instalment of :detail:, a planned series of online exhibitions: now you really can Tour the Highlands [best viewed at 1024x768]. The front page is now a frameset that will display the latest new thing at Speedysnail. More :detail:s soon.
13.11.2001
A new front page with hefty background image, just to keep things interesting. Also tidied up Walking West 4 for deep storage, and improved the index for all instalments of Walking West. Something new is coming soon...
06.11.2001
After a three-month run, it's goodbye to Walking West 4.

Added a footnote to the review of Amnesiac [since removed].
11.06.2001
Added an index for all instalments of Walking West. Shuffled the order of the miscellaneous section at the Cartoon Lounge. (There won't be much new happening at this site for the next few months, as I'm about to move overseas. Check back in August or September.)
10.06.2001
Recycled to the Textuary: Moulin Rouge and Amnesiac [since removed]. And it's the end of Walking West 3.

The Stand-Up has its second make-over and its first substantial change in appearance since it went online, without a table in sight.

Tweaked the browser upgrade page and the general approach to the issue at this site. Users of 5.x and higher browsers shouldn't notice any difference. Also added a Madagasikara index page to Walking West 2.
09.05.2001
New at Grinding Noises: A Web Standards Fairy-Tale.
08.05.2001
New at the Textuary: Midnight Oil live at the Forum 5.5.2001. Also, set background-attachment to 'fixed' for a few backgrounds around the site that previously weren't (a minor change, but I prefer the effect).
02.05.2001
May the Second, the anniversary of uncertainty, at Rory Central. And more recycling at the Textuary: a review of Dead Long Enough.

06.04.2001
For no reason in particular: Before Speedysnail.
05.04.2001
Good lord. Three lost reviews in the Textuary that somehow got left out of the index pages all this time. While fixing this oversight, I've also added another recycled review.
30.03.2001
Two new cartoons at the ABA page in the Cartoon Lounge.
29.03.2001
Goodbye Week Link—it's the triumphant return of Walking West! (Front page modified to reflect the change, bringing back the 'new' button while I'm at it.)
19.03.2001
A new Week Link. So much for the 'every Wednesday' pattern.
19.03.2001
Found outside a bookstore. This one's very strange.
14.03.2001
The Thirty-Nine Hundred Steps, a new tale from Madagascar (written for The Human Limbs).
08.03.2001
Added some backgrounds to the venerable Ralph, one of the oldest parts of this site.
08.03.2001
After keeping it going for the best part of a year, I've decided to retire my spartan guestbook. But fear not, you can still contact me and have your pearls of wisdom published elsewhere, if you (and I) like. I've also moved the older entries from this page onto an archive page, shuffled the 'new' button off the front page to make room for a 'found' one, and archived the previous version.
08.03.2001
Found beside the footpath.
07.03.2001
I've Got The Music In Me: the latest rant at Grinding Noises. And a new Week Link, while we're at it (I think I've kept up the new-entry-every-Wednesday pattern long enough that we can take it as read from here on).
06.03.2001
Owen has sent me something he found, so we now have the beginnings of a gallery. If you've found something intriguing or mysterious, send it in.
06.03.2001
Added some recycled pieces to Grinding Noises and the Textuary.
05.03.2001
Some minor font changes at Pacific Islands Politics, to which I've also added my collected notes on the 2000 Fiji coup.
02.03.2001
Phase two of the Cartoon Lounge revamp. Rotating balls! Loungey backgrounds! The excitement is almost too much to bear.
01.03.2001
Phase one of a Cartoon Lounge revamp, and a couple of new cartoons at the ABA page.
28.02.2001
Another new Week Link! Where will it end?
23.02.2001
Finally, a visual revamp of Grinding Noises. (Now all I have to do is get around to writing the next Doktor Komputor.)
22.02.2001
Speedysnail is now part of the WaSP's browser upgrade campaign.
21.02.2001
It's a new Week Link.

Refreshed the Speedysnail Solutions portfolio.
16.02.2001
A revamp of the Textuary.
15.02.2001
A little something I found. (This may be a one-off, or I may build it into something bigger some day; who knows.)
14.02.2001
A redesign of Speedysnail Solutions to bring it into line with this front area. Oh, and a new Week Link.
13.02.2001
Added some more recycled reviews to The Textuary, and the new review piece undergroundOVERCONSUMPTION with the Underground Lovers.
11.02.2001
Now you can see some different speedy snails.
09.02.2001
New buttons added to the front page for The Week Link and The Twisted Bell. (Added 25 percent more buttons while reducing download time by 17 percent; not bad.) Also added a fading background to give the page a lift. The previous version has been archived.
07.02.2001
Just to keep my weblogging hand in, here's The Week Link. Less regular and personal than previous efforts, but still full of linky goodness and food for thought.
05.02.2001
Okay, now it's retired.
02.02.2001
Walking West returns for one last post to say something important.
01.02.2001
Walking West has walked away. Something different will walk up soon. (Main Speedysnail page modified slightly to reflect the change. Also added a dozen reviews from the Walking West archives to The Textuary.)
29.01.2001
After eighteen months I figure it's okay to remove the .wav sound files from The Stand-Up, leaving only the mp3 versions.
25.01.2001
It's entirely self-indulgent. It'll mean absolutely nothing to non-fans. It's a different kind of Mike Oldfield fan-site. It's The Twisted Bell.
24.01.2001
Added Why Do a PhD? to The Textuary.
21.01.2001
Guess what? Another new photo for Walking West.
19.01.2001
A redesign of a few archives pages for Walking West.

A links page for Walking West.

Yet another new photo for Walking West.
