v17.0: Changed Homepage Link order

I noticed that search engines were going after the links on my homepage, so I reordered them to boost traffic to some parts of the site. We'll see how it goes. I added Jarrepalloza to the PDA site and am working on the phone version. Ah yes, Europe 1996 should go mobile soon. In the near future, I am going to break this page out by the different sites: Web, PDA, Mobile so you can quickly check what's new with your favorite site.

v16.9: Redo of Sweden and Europe 1997

Did the SSI thingy to Sweden 1999 and Europe 1997 Trip Diaries. They are now accessable via the cell phone as well as the PDA site. learned a few tricks along the way and ran into the 9 item limitation on cell phones. But it is up and just in time to wow the relatives at the holidays :) Now only Europe 1996 awaits treatment, and then it is off to work on converting jarrepalooza!

Mobile Edition v1.0: Launch of Mobile Site

Thanks to Dave Haber, I am pleased to announce that the Club Josh Mobile Edition v1.0 is now available. Dave helped out by adapting a Perl program to take my update file and breaking it up to cell phone length. Duly inspired, I added the Walt Disney World Trip Diaries to the phone as well. Europe '98 should follow soon thereafter, and then the others. In the back of my mind exists an application for the Gorn page. We'lll see if it springs up...

v16.85: Updated PDA site

Thanks to my SSI adventure, I was able to post a new version of the Club Josh Handheld Edition. I know, I know the name sucks - I'm working on it. Now the handheld site features the Europe 1998 and Walt Disney World Trip Diaries as well as the Daily Update and archives. I am a bit concerned what will happen when I have a whole month's worth of updates and if the page will download or be too big. I guess we have to wait until November. Oh yes, you can add the Club Josh Handheld Edition by clicking on the link from the homepage or here.

v16.8: Trip Diaries 1998

Finally, they arrive. There is actually an interesting story here. When I went to Europe in 1998 I took along my trusty Sharp Zaurus in an effort to expedite the conversion of the trip Diaries to HTML. Well, I didn't realize that it costs an extra 100 bucks for the adapter so I faxed the text to a machine and printed it out to transcribe to Word. Well, two years later I finally finished it and managed to squeeze in some techno backend stuff. I made the content SSI's so I can include them in a PDA site and maybe even a cell phone site in the future. Now I need to go back through the old ones and do the same thing (even Walt Disney World!).

v16.7: Club Josh Daily Update PDA Version

Added a PDA site at http://www.clubjosh.com/pda/ which users can sync via AvantGO or access directly. Eventually (heard this one before haven't you) I would like to post some of my trip diaries in PDA form indexed by City as well as day.

v16.6: Under Construction 28 Pics

Released pictures from my birthday party this past weekend. They are edited for content (i.e. the most scandalous ones were left out). A good time was had by all... The photo database is coming along nicely. It will be awhile before it is up and 100% ready. In preparation, I am scanning some old A-V Day pics and some old B-day pics to even out the galleries.

v16.5: New Homepage!

Redesigned the homepage to include some nifty nested tables as well as a Daily Update column. It is my goal to update that section every weekday via a cool SSI. I will also create an archive after a few weeks.

v16.45: Added Guestbook link to WDW

Added a link to my guestbook on the WDW Trip Diaries page. looks like the old guestbook might be gone for good due to the troubles at htmlGEAR. I need to develop my own so I am not dependant on others. This is probably a good time....

v16.4: Disneyland Paris and WDW

I have updated the WDW and DLP site homepages to reflect one another. The photo gallery on DLP will be put on a separate page once I get a photo database up and running. In progress is adding links from the Gorn page to the WDW pages as well as finishing some editorial on the various theme parks and the long-awaited ride comparison.

v16.3: Walt Disney World Trip

Well I am back from my trip to Walt Disney World. I have posted the trip reports and all of the photos (Chapter 10 will be up before long). It was certainly an experience trying to post tons of photos via a modem. It was much easier in Sweden when I had a direct connection to the internet. I am going to provide more links to the photo galleries and re-organize the site better in the next week. Stay tuned! I was also happy to see that the WDW trip diaries were the #1 section of Club Josh last week. It is nice to know I didn't do it for just me and people really enjoyed the photos.

v16.2: More Gorn Pics Added; Move Done

I finally got around to posting some Gorn Pics, some of which date back 2 years. Yup, i am right smack dab on that bleeding edge of updates. I also finsihed moving the site over to clubjosh.com. All that remains on the old server are redirects and my grandfather's geneology page (which will remain there for the time being.) Be sure to tune in all next week for photo updates from Walt Disney World!!!

v16.1: More moving

Most of the website has either been temporarily disconnected or moved over to the new site. I still need to put up redirects for some of the smaller pages. The Resume and Movie Czar Reel Reviews have been mothballed along with the Friends & Family pics (anyone remember them??). I do plan on bringing them back at a future date. The old Club Josh site (http://www.jps.net/clubjosh/) will go offline in June of 2001 so be sure to update those bookmarks. Some websites have marked certain pages and for one reason or another, never update their links. Oh well. One weekend I am just gonna redesign the whole dang site. Just you wait. (just don't hold your breath!)

v16.0: New Gorn Pictures!

Added new Gorn pictures from Hearst Castle and Morro Bay. Also as a special bonus, the Gorn meets Ricardo Montalban as he autographs my Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan DVD. It was a great thrill to meet him. By next week I hope to have the entire site ported over. But we all know how that goes...

v15.8: Clubjosh.com migration has begun..

SeaGranite Multimedia, Jarrepalooza and The Gorn Page are now hosted on ClubJosh.com so be sure to update the bookmarks. The rest of the pages will be moving as fast as I can make the redirects!

v15.7: The Gorn Visits New Mexico

The first new Gorn pics in ages are now online. I still have tons of back scanning to do, but enjoy the new ones. Also--Josh's Pic-O-Rama is now offline until I move to a new webhost (and eventually clubjosh.com). I've maxxed out JPS's web space and they won't sell me any more so off we go!!

v15.6: 9th Annual A-V Day Pics online

Added pictures for the 9th Annual Anti-Valentine's Day to the Charo Party Pics section. This year's party was in beautiful (and rainy!) San Bruno, CA at Mark's Casa de Uno.

v15.5: Cyber Sufin' Safari Updated

Checked all the links on the Sufin' Safari to see which ones still worked. Amazing how many links change in the course of 8 months. Well its the year 2000, and I must say I am a bit disappointed I still have a balance on my credit card. I was hoping it would all disappear. Oh well :). Hope everyone had a great New Year's!! I also added a new pic of me with a BMW Z8 at the LA Auto Show.
