12/27/03 I added a new video (I like Pie) and a new photo (Kyle) today.

03/24/03 I added a new page about the big mistake I made when I chose a program called SalesCart pro for a shopping cart package I bought.

03/16/03 Added a Flash Intro that I did in a short school I attended at a local vocational school.

09/29/02 Repaired the link to Sunbelt Heating and Air Conditioning on the links page. Thanks Dale!

09/28/02 Updated my home page to reflect the fact that another year has gone by. No big changes. I also removed the link to the Charter Pipeline Nightmare story I had posted here. I still hate Charter, but I decided it was time to move on. I still have them at the office, and I still can tell you they stink!

09/25/02 Added the fireworks applet. Removed the ding.wav from main category pages.

09/03/02 Added the Akin family crest furnished by my cousin Kathryn. Thank you Kathryn!!. You can see it here.

05/27/02 Added a neat picture of my dad. See it here. (Password Required).

05/23/02 I added the first game to this site. I started out with a checkers game where you play against the computer. Password Required. Link

01/17/02 Added the Karvonen formula page. I became interested in the Karvonen formula after I bought my tread mill. Password Required. Link

01/08/02 I removed the top ten pages list because it was creating security problems with the video files. The page was actually generated by the server extensions, and it was not always updated accurately. My server company could not fix the problem. So I killed two birds with one stone and just removed the Top Ten Pages list entirely.

01/03/02 Added a picture of my great grandparents on my mom and dad's side of the family. Link.

12/31/01 Added a new picture of my dog Sammy.

12/21/01 Added Maxine and Vondal B. to the birthday page.

12/16/01 Added the Sydney Opera House link to my favorite links page. This is a treat virtual tour. Try it out. I also deleted clickTV from my favorites because it has been bought by another company and now I think it stinks.

10/07/01 Added a cookie script that preloads the roll over images and launches the splash screen window only once per 30 minute period. The reason for the cookie to control this function is to have the images to preload, but not preload every time you access a page. This will help those with slow internet connections since they wont have to wait for the images to preload every time they launch a page. The pop up splash screen only launches once per 30 minute period any time one of the main pages are loaded. I also added the style statements that allow the sliders on the right side of the window to display in color with the MSIE (starting with version 5 I think).

10/01/01 Corrected the bug that was keeping the Embedded Windows Media Player from working while using the Netscape Browser. The Media Player was tested with NS4.7 and NS6.1.

09/10/01 Added the E-paging form with full JavaScript validation and .asp response with error trapping.

09/09/01 Modified right border so that part of it actually appears to display in the top border. This does away with the wasted room in the upper right hand corner.

Moved the password scripts to the cgi-bin for more security and updated links in all 115 asp pages. Duh, I cant believe I had left these scripts outside the cgi-bin, but I did. Oh well, this isn't Ft. Knox.

Embedded a media player into the test video page. I have made the decision to use embedded video in order to have more control over the users experience while they are going through the video archives (when I get them done). :)

09/07/01

Added the picture of My Grandfather on my mother's side (Clayton). Added a favorite icon to this site. Added JavaScript code to automatically set bookmarks (IE5+ only).

09/03/01

Rebuilt the birthday page from scratch because FP2002 destroyed it while I was updating it on 9/2/01/ I uploaded it and wiped out the web based version before I realized it was bad.. and no backup!

09/02/01

Added the "What Day Were You Born" calculator to the birthday page

09/01/01

Added balloon background to the Birthday page. Changed the deanakin.com staff photo so that it looked more realistic (this is proof that I don't have a life).

08/30/01

Added the deanakin.com staff photo (ok, it's a gag if anyone happened to believe it).
