My Birthday!
Well...yesterday, I turned 17. Yay! Unfortunately, I had to work on my birthday. =/ Gimme presents! =P

Not Much More...
Lots of progress has gone on with my Mortality level. But, other than that, not too much else has happened. I haven't updated this site or any others because of school...I'll try to update some this weekend. As a note: Apparently, some of the links to pages on this site were messed-up by FrontPage. I fixed them, of course. =)

#doomroom
#doomroom is a cool channel started on XNet--pretty muchly the coolest IRC server there is. =) It was started mainly to allow people to talk freely without fear of being kicked--or worse--being kickbanned from a channel. This is a great channel, and it was only started very recently. Today was the "official" release of this channel...even though I knew about it a little bit before.

Links
I added a new section to my Links Page--IRC Stuff. Soon it will be filled with all kinds of neat-o IRC stuff. =) I plan to start listing various source ports, mods, etc. on a separate page soon, because there's so many of them. I might even have a review of each. =)

ACK!
Whoa...has it really been that long?! 16 days...Hmm...Well, it's because school started on the 10th for me (way too early if you ask me). Also, I have a job that I work at for about 3 hours a night on weekdays. So, as you can see, free time for me is SEVERELY limited. I'll try to update more often, though. =) Andy Baker had something to say about my site on Andy's DOOM Page--"-=The Best of DooM=- isn't going to remain "the best" for long, unless it's updated..." Gee...well, thanks for your positive criticism. =(

E-Sheep Launcher!
This is the cool E-Sheep Launcher! It replaces the rockets in DooM with--you guessed it! E-Sheep! It totally r0x0rz! =) This is only a beta and will be made lots better soon and probably with a small mod to give it more frames, etc. =) E-mail me with comments, criticism, etc., especially since it's a beta. =)

Mortality
Mortality is going along smoothly, and we should be getting meetings set up. This will be the best TC ever. =)

Links
I added a large amount of links to my Links Page--too many to list. =)

Mortality
You probably noticed that the Mortality page had some missing screenshots. That's because I "Exceed alotted disk quota" on AOL. Stupid AOL! Well, anyway, I got a Xoom account for the Mortality page. Change your bookmarks!

Got to Meet Romero!
That's right! I got to meet John Romero himself! Go to DooM News and read my update there...it's sorta lengthy. =)

Saturday, August 1, 1998

10,000!
I've got over 10,000 hits on this site! Whoo-hoo! Keep 'em coming! =P

Mortality
Updated Mortality with more screenshots and some new stuff. I've also worked on my level, and the team is getting more organized. =)

Stuff
The DooM Updates Page is going along great! I also updated some pages on my site...not much of an update on any of them, so I won't list the ones I updated. =) I've got lots of stuff going on right now, and I don't have too much free time. =/ I guess that's about it for this update.

Wednesday, July 29, 1998

Sorry, again!
I've been busy with--EVERYTHING! 'Nuff said.

Mortality
Updated Mortality with more screenshots and some more. Check 'em out!

New Page!
I created a new website...one that strives to give a link to *every* DooM site that updated each day. Not just the popular websites, like some others do. =) It's the DooM Updates Page. Currently, I'm looking for someone to help me with this new site, so just e-mail me.

Friday, July 24, 1998

so Sorry...
I've gotten many links from people...but I haven't had time to put them up yet. I haven't even had time to browse the sites yet. =( Also, I didn't update yesterday, because I COULDN'T. Like I said, so sorry. Work and life are just catching up with me. =) I also have other responsibilities in the DooM community right now. =) I also saw Armaggedon today--that is one of the best movies I have ever seen!!! I strongly recommend that EVERYBODY goes to see this movie. You will love it, unless you're a heartless foo. =P

DooM News
Lookie at the newest member of the DooM News team! Yep, that's right--me! =) You *should* be getting frequent updates from me. =)

Redoing Pages
I'm going to be redoing quite a few of these pages soon...Also I *might* have a surprise or two up my sleeve... hehehe. =)

Wednesday, July 22, 1998

Mortality
I updated the Mortality page with some news, new members and best of all-screenshots! Check it out! JOIN MORTALITY OR DIE! =)

DooM Links
More, more, more! Gimme those links! =) I put some more links on today, but not as many as yesterday. They are: - THE DOOM LEVEL LORDS -, Andy's DOOM Page, LMPS R US, Peo Sjï¿½bloms Doompage!!, The Quadrivium News pages, The Team Insanity Homepage!!, and Yonatan Donner's home page. I also updated RicrobNet's link.

Doom Links
I did it again! Keep those links coming! Here's what I added today (hope I didn't leave any out =) ~~> Cyberdemon's Doom Page, Doom and Doom2 by Bruce A. Benko, DOOM2 Deathmatch Competition Ladder, Doom3D, Phantom Lord's Page, Music, Doom, and other Nifty stuff, NiGHTMARE's Haunt, Paranoid & X-pulse deathmatch levels, Phobos Lab, Samâ€™s Doom Page, Ver. .01, and The DOOM Source Page. I also updated Prower's Page of DooM, Doom Legacy and DooMSter.

Mortality
I sent the texture wad out and recruited some more new members. But we STILL need more! I am planning on having 64 levels total--32 single player and 32 DeathMatch. I hope we can keep that goal. If you can design levels, program, create sounds, make sprites, or do anything else for the project, e-mail me!

Mortality
I updated the Mortality page with some news and new members. Check it out!

Not Too Much Else Today...
Hmm...well I brushed my teeth today. I also ate. I went to work. Talked to many people online. Gee...there's the most boring update you've ever seen!

Project
I joined the Special Effects project over at The Special Effects Shoppe. It looks like it might be interesting. I am the newest beta tester for FragMaker, even though they weren't accepting anymore applications for it. =) piXel Mage Rex or Resolution Master Depth. still need to put me on the testers page, though. =) Also, I joined something else, but I can't say what it is yet...You'll find out soon, though. =) I'm gonna be a busy man soon! =P

Monday, July 19, 1998

Aaahh!
I accidentally overwrote the update for today! Doomworld had an update about my update, though. So go there. =)

Sunday, July 18, 1998

Test Page!
Finally, I redesigned the front page on this website. This is it! =) For one thing, it *should* load quicker than the older version, and I think it's much more pleasing to the eye. Tell me how much you like/dislike it over the old version. Also, if you have ANY suggestions at all for this website and/or could possibly help with some new graphics, etc., tell me, please! I REALLY need help with a new background graphic for this page. For an experienced graphics artist, this is probably WAY too easy, but for me, it turns out bad. =) You can see my pitiful attempt in the background...if you can do better, please do it for me. I will be forever grateful. =)

Mortality
Ola Bjï¿½rling was gracious enough to create us a perfectly tiling sunset sky for Mortality. It rocks! So, that's two skies we have for Mortality so far. Luckily, I've already installed WinTex, and I just have a little more *tweaking* to do to the texture wad. Mortality project designers: I'll try to get the texture wad to you as soon as possible, along with questions, suggestions for changes, etc. But first, I need your opinion--is it alright for me to make all new textures for Mortality instead of replacing textures? It is much better in my opinion, plus, you can use ALL the original DooM ][ textures along with the new textures. E-Mail Me with your opinion, please!

Linguica
Many people have been pissed at Andy Stine, aka Linguica for his personality, arrogance, etc. Especially since he fired Prower from Doomworld. I was one of those people for about a day. Man, was I ever pissed at him! =) But certain people (including myself and DaGGeR) have made me realize that I was being a jerk about it, too. =/ I even sent several e-mails to Linguica in apology. I hope he accepts my apologies. Linguica was veeery clever and created a site (anonomously, I might add =)~~> Linguica Sucks. Definitely worth the visit.

New Computer!
I bought a new computer, finally! It's not THE TOP of the line, but it is FAST! Expect lots more from me on this webpage, because with a faster computer, there's less wait, and I get to do lots more! =)

Mortality
I've had to get things set up on my computer, etc., so I haven't done too much for Mortality within the last few days. Doomfrk is currently working on the dragon boss for Mortality, so look for that soon! Also, I'm gonna re-start work on the Mortality texture wad after I redownload WinTex. =) One last thing, I will be sending out an e-mail to the Mortality team, so look for that if you're on the team! JOIN MORTALITY! =)

WebSite
I fixed two errors on this website. One was a broken link on the Files Page. The other was a missing table tag on this main page.

Watch My Site!
Wanna know exactly when my website is updated? If you don't have Internet Explorer 4.0 or a way to do so automatically, click here!

Monday, July 5, 1998

Mortality Homepage!
The Mortality Homepage is now up! 'Nuff said, dude. =)

DooM Screensaver
Apparently I posted the wrong file the other night. D'oh! You can get the right screensaver now~~>Files Page.

Links Page
I updated the description to Ledmeister's Homepage on my DooM Links Page.

Friday, July 3, 1998

Mortality
Hmm...the Mortality page may take awhile, but bear with me. =) Progress is going satisfactorally on this project, in my opinion. If you wanna join, just e-mail me, and I will be glad to accept ANY help, especially sprite artists. =) If you are on the project, look for the texture wad soon and some proposed changes. I really want to decrease the number of marine base levels in this project. If you have any objection to it, tell me. Thanks!

DooM ScreenSaver
Finally, I just got tired of trying to catch up with DoomGuy, so I just put his DooM screensaver on my site for download. I don't know if he moved it, or if I've just had the URL of it wrong these past months. So, you can download it now from the Files Page.

DooM Links!
You have ALL probably shied away from my DooM Links Page because of the growing number of outdated links, bad links and links without descriptions! Yes, you know who you are. =) Finally, I have worked many hours today fixing it up. All of the bad links have been removed, thanks to the help of InfoLink Link Checker. I seriously suggest you download this if you are serious about your website. I should get have descriptions up for all the websites soon. If you have a website that's not listed, just drop me a line. I should have all of the Doomworld sites up soon, in their own section, of course.

Other Changes
I added a new document to my Documents Page--the Plasma Rifle FAQ. I also updated my Shotgun FAQ. It now includes a demo (one that was poorly made =) with a wad demonstrating the capabilities of the shotgun. I also changed the link for where you can get the uncompleted ZelDoom.

Sorta New Layout
I fixed the headings that I did in the last update. My computer put the headings as "DooM Font", not "DooM". The "DooM Font" is another DooM font, but it is only one size, not TrueType, and not near as good. =) How do you like the new font for the headings on this page? E-Mail Me and tell me how you like (or dislike) it. If you don't have the DooM font, go to the Files Page.

Mortality
If anybody wants to join Mortality, just e-mail me. I will gladly get back with you as soon as possible. We are mostly in need of anybody that can do sprites, but any help at all will be appreciated. =) Look for the Mortality page coming soon, hopefully.

DooM Cursors for Win95!!!
I finally got bored of the DooM cursors that I got in the DooM theme. I downloaded it somewhere off the Internet. Looking at the cursors, I realized they could be better. So I made my own set! Download them off of the Files Page.

Sorta New Layout
How do you like the new font for the headings on this page? E-Mail Me and tell me how you like (or dislike) it. If you don't have the DooM font, go to the Files Page.
