Welcome...

Alright. I finally done it. I updated my webpage. Finally! Ok, I am cheating right now. I only removed the links that were no longer valid. I am fairly confident that I will be adding more content in the near future; I just am not making any statements based upon the time frame.

I will try to add a few things that will make it some what worth your while for clicking on this link. Well, at least make it a bit more worth while than a "Welcome to your new webpage" or "under construction" messages.

If you have any suggestions that I could put to good use, I would very much be indebted to you for taking the time to share with me. Likewise, if you see something that you have questions about, drop me an eMail, and I'll try to answer it. 


Links that are worth Following:

Jane Heidrich's Seascapes

Jane Heidrich has been an artist working in oils for quite a while. She has painted many locations in the US including Canada. On July 4th, 2001, she had a show in which she featured some of her painting of Seascapes. I took pictures of the paintings and created a very simple website to house them. The location of these paints are of both Maine and Nova Scotia. For the lighthouse paintings, I provided some links to a few websites to present additional information about lighthouses in general and specifically about the one in question. 

The purpose of this link is not to sell any paintings, although any inquiries would be welcome, but solely for the sake of enjoyment. I am sorry that I have not updated the information as to which painting have been sold. I also would like to apologize for low resolution images (some are large format) and that my digital camera was not able to always correctly capture all of the true vibrant colors. 

Jump Home

This free website is great if you are about to move. It can switch over all of your utilities for you so you don't have to worry about contacting all those companies. Yes, it does the news paper, cable, and Internet to just name a few.

TriState Midrange Users Group

This is a young users group in the Cincinnati area, but it has a large membership base. The vast majority of the users and meetings are based upon IBM's AS/400. If you do not know what an AS/400 is, it might be worth checking out the links to the IBM web page. After all, it is the business computer of choice for major businesses (IBM, Coke, Lens Crafters, Kroger, etc..). Also, I should mention that there is a link to Dilbert, which may be worth following all in itself. One word about the webserver; be patient, it is slow, but it works.

Cincinnati Ski Club

Everything you need to know about the Cincinnati Ski Club.

Update: OK so the URL has been changed. I will try to get that fixed. Sorry.

Cincinnati Computer Store

Have you ever wondered who has been around for the longest? Well, that is for computer stores. Check out this site, you may be surprised at the date when this store first opened; especially if you are familiar with the PCs that were being sold back then. Yes, custom built CPM based computers, even with an eight inch disk drive! When I say custom built, I mean the power supplies were hand built and the mother boards were also hand assembled. I do not think this site currently has any online information about the first systems built. I did see some of them, and the size, weight, and statistics were impressive compared to current computers on the market today. One thing I must say is that they provide a level of expertise that is very hard to find in stores today.

The Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds' Web Page. Not bad.

Maps On Us

Remember Bell Labs? Did you know that they spun off into a new division (not sure the details) name Lucent Technologies? This web site is theirs. If you have ever been interested in maps, this is the web site for you! You do need to register to take full advantage of the features, since there is no other way the system could possibly keep track of all the customizations that you are allowed to make. Features: Define map size in pixels, generate directions on how to get from point A to point B including lane changes, define what degree of information you want to see on your maps, define personal points of interests, and etc... Yes, this is one site you can use to define what a good site should provide.

Update: Ok things have changed. The website is the same, but Lucent is not the owner anymore. It is now owned by Switchboard.

Kelley Blue Book New Car Prices and Bluebook Values

Do you want to know what your old car is worth? How would you like to find out what that new car would be like with different combinations of options? Check out this site, and start saving your pennies.

BigBook Business Yellow Pages

This must be one of the best Business Yellow Pages on the Internet! Not only can you key in on a Business Category, but the search results will give you the address, phone number, show you a map of the area, a Welcome message, Driving Directions to get there, Hours of Operation, any Special Offers currently available, a review of the store, and results of votes on the location. Naturally, due to the large number of entries, not all of the options are available, except for the Map. One item you do have control over, is voting. This is a good way to indicate excellent service and products, or to warn your fellow shoppers to keep clear!

Update: The URL still works, but the name has changed. 

Enterprise Mission

Got some time to kill? Do you enjoy a few tidbits that can give you something to think about for quite some time? Check out this site, I think you will find it interesting to say the least. The only area I have had a chance to explore was the moon topic.

Update: The website is still there, but there has been tons of new stuff added. Every once in awhile I would just checkout a new topic and it is very fascinating the amount of information and the variety.

MSG and NutraSweet may not taste quite so good anymore

Not feeling well anymore? Does it feel like you have lost that keen edge you remember having about five years ago? Do your arms or legs feel slightly numb at times? If you eat or drink anything with NutraSweet or MSG, you just may want to follow this link. After all, sometimes the corporate dollars can influence more than what you may expect. If you thought that the above link contained a good amount of information, check out this link, for it contains even more.

Update: This website is still in existence but it also has a bunch of new stuff too. Can you find the link on this website that points back to my page? I noticed they put the link in about 3 years ago and it is still listing my site as #7. I really don't think that means my bare bones website is the 7th highest contributor to people following the links to their page. I would like to thank them for even putting me in their listing. I am honored.


Version History of My Web Page:

Version 4:

    I realized that things needed to change. Two of my former companies that I have worked for are no longer in existence due to the down turn in the technical sector. I am glad I did not waste my time 2 years ago to update the company name for which I worked for since it did not last and I would only be changing it now anyway. I am now a professional Java Developer and I have been thinking it would be nice to prove that I can do something with HTML.

    Creation Date: November 6, 2001 (has it really been that long since v3?)

    Creation Time: 1.5 Hours

    HTML Scripting Experience: Tons... it's just another simple scripting language.

Version 3:

    I created a multi-column page with a table of contents on the left hand side. I done this mostly through manually typing in the html script to try and get a better understanding of how everything works. At this point in time, I have about 2.5 hours of total experience with html scripting. Check it out!

    Creation Date: April 1, 1997

    Creation Time: 1.5 Hours

    HTML Scripting Experience: about 3.5 Hours

Version 2:

    I added a few links, the guest book, and email.

    Creation Date: March 31, 1997

    Creation Time: 45 Minutes

    HTML Scripting Experience: 50 Minutes

Version 1:

    I created a very basic page. You would have been lucky NOT to yawn. I just wanted to see if I could get something to post. Hence, this is why I called this page the "Homeless" Web Page due to the fact that nothing was here.
