• Mon 25 June - Exams are finished! 'Rayyyy! And to celebrate, I've opened up a new section of my Unknown Armies depot - the Haunts.

• Sun 27th May - Lots of term-end papers due recently, a turn of events which has occasioned an Academic Papers page to keep track of all the damn things.

• Sat 3rd March - WYSIWYG, a mini-scenario for the Unknown Armies RPG, is now up in the Haunted Yearbook.

This site has been a going concern since April 2000. Since then, it's trebled in size, moved servers twice, and handled about four changes of email address. Some sections were created using Microsoft Frontpage Express 2.0; others were created using a combination of pure HTML editing (mmm... Notepad.... mmmm....) and Macromedia Dreamweaver. Pages were size-optimised by up to 22% using the excellent HTML Shrinker software.

The Eyeball Kid is the title of a song by Tom Waits.

The site is kindly hosted by Real-IT and the indomitable Graham Hoffman.
