December 16, 2000

Put out some more pictures of Nicholas.

December 4, 2000

Add a Contact page under Misc and updated/added some links to the Links page.

December 2, 2000

More Nicky pictures.

November 19, 2000

Added November pictures for Nicholas and two Jerusalem pages.  Also, I changed the date order of any pages that consist of dates so that the most recent page is at the top.  

November 6, 2000

Jerusalem pages and a slightly old family journal update are out there.

October 31, 2000

Ok, I at least got two sets of pictures up for Nicky in the month of October. Haven't done the Jerusalem entries yet. Sometime this week, I'm sure.

October 17, 2000

Was having some problems with the server. CIHost is looking into the problem but in the mean time, I went with my own fix. Personally, I think we broke the server by putting too many pictures of Nicholas into one folder!

October 14, 2000

I put up new pictures (over 30 of them) and added a bunch of new Jerusalem entries.

September 26, 2000

Yea, yea... It's been awhile. I am not sure how often I will be updating now. It may happen once a week, sometimes, every other week. I just don't know. We have to focus on other things now like getting a house. You can read a little about that in the family journal. (1 entry) Or go see what has been happening to Don and Bernice in Jerusalem (5 entries). Of course, you may just want to take a look at some of the new pictures of Nicholas. I am sorry there aren't more this time, especially after such a long wait. I will endeavor to do better next time!

September 4, 2000

New pictures and a Jerusalem entry. I also added some pictures the family section. There are some of the brand new family member, Erik. I also added a few of my wife on her page.

August 28, 2000

Not many pictures this week. I guess that we have been too busy.

August 22, 2000

The new Family Journal has begun. No more baby updates. From now on, everything about Nicky, me and Mui will be here. To start it off, our first entry has been added.

August 20, 2000

A new Jerusalem entry. Many new pics of Nicky. And guess what? We are now over 1000 pictures of him! Unbelievable, huh? There will probably be a new Family Journal page up sometime soon this week. It should contain a little message about someone's teeth!

August 13, 2000

A new Jerusalem entry along with a bunch of pics of Nicky playing with water. Some of them are in the Sacramento River. There are some earlier ones of him in a lake in Oregon but I have to something before I can put those out. I will have those next weekend.

August 6, 2000

A new Jerusalem entry along with a bunch of pics of Nicky at the park.

July 31, 2000

Two new Jerusalem entries along with about 24 new pics of Nick.

July 23, 2000

Many of you have noticed a lack of new PoD's for Nicholas. Well, I have finally decided to cut back on the updates. I will be updating this site once a week now. So the Picture of the Day will obviously no longer be around. Instead, I will put out all the pictures that we have (that we feel are presentable) out each week under the gallery for that particular month. 

There is a new baby journal entry. This should be the last baby journal entry as I am going to make a general family journal and all updates will be found there. The updates for Nichoals haven't always been about him entirely anyway. So, I thought it more appropriate to just create a family journal. It will be under the miscellaneous section.

There is also a new Jerusalem page.

July 15, 2000

I have put three new Jerusalem(/Egypt) entries out.

July 8, 2000

Out late. Didn't get new pictures out yesterday.

July 1, 2000

A small Jerusalem entry added. 

June 30, 2000

I have put out a new baby journal and a new Jerusalem entry.

June 26, 2000

I have added another Jerusalem entry (albeit late!) and fixed the movies page for Nicholas (even more late!). I have had problems with parallel ports on my computer and also needed a new sound card to create more movies (I am sure people would like to see something a little more recent). I should have all that fixed soon and will be making new movies soon.

June 25, 2000

Hmm, haven't been able to do a successful upload the last couple days. Don't know why. Anyway the PoD wasn't updated during that time.

June 19, 2000

The last few days we have had server problems. No PoD has been put out during this time.

June 16, 2000

I got lazy and there was no picture of the day yesterday.

June 11, 2000

Two Jerusalem entries were added.

June 5, 2000

Let's see, I put out a page for Nicholas' 1st birthday. There is a journal entry describing his party, also. They are linked so if you find one, you should be able to find the other. 

There is also a new Jerusalem entry out there.

On another note, I had planned to stop the Picture of the Day after his first birthday. (I mean, we can't do this his entire life, can we?) I plan to just do a weekly or semi-weekly update to the galleries. But for now, we have so many pictures backed up that I will keep up with everyday pictures. 

May 26, 2000

A new Jerusalem entry.

May 23, 2000

I'm a little late on a Jerusalem entry and a Baby Update but they are out there now. My wife and I just had a discussion about the baby updates since they seem to be more like family updates. So I may move them soon to another location or just start a family journal section. I'll think about it.

May 14, 2000

I actually ran out of pictures so there was no PoD yesterday. I also put out another Jerusalem entry.

May 10, 2000

Another Jerusalem entry.

May 9, 2000

I found a picture of myself that I actually liked and added it to my page.

May 8, 2000

One more Jerusalem entry.

April 30, 2000

Two more Jerusalem entries.

April 28, 2000

There is a new Jerusalem page out.

April 26, 2000

I have been updating the picture of the day but have found out that the server hasn't been set right for awhile. I have no idea how long this problem has existed so I am not going to try to go back and start the picture of the day's over again. Besides, everything is in the gallery anyway.

April 17, 2000

Baby journal entry added.

April 13, 2000

Missed the picture of the day because I was busy trying to put windows 2000 on one of my machines. (It isn't going well). Also put out another Jerusalem page.

April 11, 2000

Added two more entries for the Jerusalem pages.

April 3, 2000

A small problem with my computer prevented some updates to occur. I have fixed that problem. Also, there is a new baby update.

March 31, 2000

I added a section in the family page for my Aunt and Uncles adventures in Jerusalem.

March 26, 2000

Mui added a baby journal entry a few days ago while I was at a conference in San Jose. Today, I added a picture to Mui's page and fixed a few problems with the site. I also changed my title on my page as I haven't been an Information Systems Analyst in quite awhile.

March 12, 2000

Missed a picture of the day. I ran out of pictures on the computer and we were having problems downloading new ones from the camera.

March 7, 2000

Baby journal added.

February 27, 2000

Again, failed to get the PoD out.

February 21, 2000

Didn't get the Picture of the Day out yesterday. 

February 14, 2000

Removed the old site and replaced it with an updated and redesigned site. It gives the site a more professional feel and removes the frames.

February 11, 2000

Surgery went well. Very sore. But I am doing better with each hour. 

February 9, 2000

The auto-update feature of my FTP program failed to upload the PoD yesterday and I forgot to do it this morning.

On a personal note, I will be going in for surgery tomorrow. It is a minor operation and it should not affect this site at all. I will let you know how things went tomorrow.

 

January 31, 2000

Sorry, forgot to update the PoD yesterday.

January 25, 2000

PoD went out kinda screwed up. I fixed them and left them out for another day. This is a problem with my computer, not the server. It is a problem I have been having for awhile but have yet to solve.

January 14, 2000

Updated the pod but forgot to put it out. Sorry about that. Also, we just got a new digital camera and you may begin to see some higher resolution pictures out very soon.

January 4, 2000

Baby journal update.

January 3, 2000

Since CIHost was down again most of the day, I am leaving the PoDs up. Don't know why CIHost is having so many problems. I just checked their homepage and found that today's date is 'Monday January 3, 19100'. Pretty scary!! 

Removed the Christmas Theme. Thinking about a major overhaul of the site which will require redoing all the pages plus removing the frames.

January 2, 2000

Fixed a few links.

January 1, 2000

CIHost lost it's domain servers for the last couple of days. This prevented anyone from reaching the site via the site name (vanzandt.net). While the site was still accessible via the numeric address, I don't think that very many people know it. Thus, I did not update the site while CIHost's domain servers were down. 

CIHost has apologized for this problem but as some of you may know, it isn't the first time that I have had trouble with them. However, I have no plans to leave them in the immediate future. When we buy a house, I will get a DSL line installed and keep my own web server at home. While this may add to some problems since I will have to get up to speed on maintaining my own web server, eventually, I feel that the problems will be a thing of the past.

In the mean time, I have fallen behind in the pictures and will put one or two extra out each night until I am caught up.
