August 2002
As some may know, we have been having trouble with our server for many months. We have upgraded the hardware and installed new software for improved functionality. The main problem causing our outages turns out to have been a service pack problem to Windows NT that compromised the system and made it prone to failure when used in certain ways. It was secure .... just broken. We have modified our system to avoid those (Microsoft) programs and it seems to be stable once again. Apologies for the times in the past where the pages were unavailable.

7 June 2000
We now have a new toy (excuse me, tool) -- a GPS (global positioning system) handset. We can now mark the position of the cemetery work so that no matter how the roads move, the location of the cemetery will be known! Now that the U.S. Government has kindly turned off the Selective Availability (SA) the units are reasonably accurate and are becoming ever more popular.
20 May 2000
The Antioch cemetery is now 90% done. Some map work remains.
Wish list
We have always high hopes for what can get up on these pages. Unfortunately
making a living seems to get in the way. Never the less, here are some of the things
that we are working on or would like to work on.
That should keep us busy until 2100 rolls around.
