Document History

2004-04-04
Many things happened in the meantime since my last entry in this history file in 2002. Many things were changed. I don't want to talk about old stuff but only mention a new idea. http://parrots.juergenkeil.de will soon be replaced by the http://friends.juergenkeil.de page. This Site will show references to my friends pages (for those who got one on their own), but also show some more information which I edited myself.

I added some information to the photo page (mainly about digital imaging) and the audio page with general info and tests about rear speakers, audiophile test recordings and CD players.
2001-09-07
I now ask for the browser verision on almost every page to ensure that only the correct page will be displayed on the end user browser window. That had effects on almost every page (109 files) on my site. Every single page was changed due to the errors that occured with non Microsoft browsers. New pure HTML versions have been developed for the Azores Slides Page and the Africa Slides Page
2001-08-30
The Homepage of the Khejri association has been moved from Purespace to NexGo.
The automatic color switching as well as the dynamic page update using the document.all scheme on the Pictures section of the Budgies page was changed due to the errors that occured with non Microsoft browsers.

The data structure as well as the CSS definition of the record collection was changed due to the errors that occured with Netscape browsers.

2001-08-02
I changed the Africalsides and the Azoresslides section to use and improved Javascript software instead of the Java version used before. For those of you who cannot or don't want to enable JavaScript the old Java version still is available in the Misc section as a sample.
2001-07-20

The main menu has been changed to use CSS instead of images. Popdown menus have been added.

I changed the Budgies section to look more like my other pages.
2001-05-15
I changed the Budgies section to reflect the fact that our beloved budgie Max died.
Lots of visitors complained about the loading time of the Plushies section. They were right because I used both thumbnails and my Java viewer. That produced incredibly long loading times. I now use a JavaScript function that uses dynamic HTML to update the HTML code with the large picture whenever one clicks on the corresponding thumbnail. Hope that helps.
2001-05-09
I added a password proteced direct link to my private page on the About page. Additionally I added a direct download of my PGP key files. It is not required to cut and paste from a HTML page anymore.
Google now is able to search for newsgroups posting from 1995 on. They fully integrated the deja database now. Congratulations!
Again I added new records to the Music section.
2001-04-14
I changed the Photography, Disclaimer and the Mountainbike sections to incorporate the changes of Roy. Hopefully it is finished now and that I didn't add too many other typical german failures trying to write english texts in the meantime. An additional hyperlink for tropical diseases has been added to the Travel section as well as a list of more up-to-date hyperlinks. By the way: these pages now got more the 40000 visitors (excluding myself of course) from all over the world. Thank you so much for (re-)visiting my Homepage and the e-mails.
2001-03-16
Welcome visitor(s) from Spain, Italy, Brazil and Great Britan.

2001-02-20
Roy Boxwell was so kind to proofread my "germish" texts. That was a hell of a job and affected almost every page of my Web Page. Very special thanks go to Roy and his wife Katja. Music was the first I changed but every other page will soon have to follow.
2001-02-13
Because deja usenet search service has been taken over by External HyperlinkGoogle the About page has been changed as well as the Thanks section.
2001-02-12
The Africa page has been changed to include hyperlinks to other car rental companies.
Additionally I added a history page to the External HyperlinkKhejri page. Changes to the Khejri web page can from now on be found External Hyperlinkthere and not on my private pages anymore.
2001-02-07
The Mountainbike, Budgies (because Mikey died yesterday) and the Music page (because my turntable has been adjusted) have been updated.
2001-02-04
The Music page has been updated.
2001-01-31
Luckily the movement of the External HyperlinkKhejri page is finished. External HyperlinkPuretec opened up the page at 9:00 am today. I really want to apologize any inconvenience the inaccessability may have caused.
2001-01-30
I'm waiting for purespace to update it's Khejri webspace. Since yesterday the Khejri page cannot be reached anymore.
2001-01-28
I added pictures to the Mountainbike section.
2001-01-27
I added pictures to the Photography section.
The Khejri page will soon get it's own webspace. I currently prepare my environment. I just split up my page and the one of Khejri into two. My domain forwarding will be changed as soon as the webspace becomes available and the files are uploaded. I don't expect the page to become inaccessible for more than 1 or two days, but some domain name servers update their configuration only once a while. Thus you may encounter problems accessing the pages during this period. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
2001-01-21
I added photos to the Music Section. Additionally I added some DAT's and revised the text.
New Pictures were added the Plushies Section. In the meantime we've got new plushies and now I take the chance to add them as long that I've got the digital camera.
2001-01-06
Welcome visitor from Spain.
I changed a wrong email adress on the External HyperlinkKhejri page. I added a new email address to the news history.
2001-01-04
Happy new millenium to all visitors. I made minor technical changes in Music section.
2000-12-25
I added my experience with the DVD player to the Music Section .
I managed to complete the list of my records at least with the new LP's, Video's and DVD's. They are complete now. The list of CD's still needs to be updated.
2000-12-24
As a sort of X-mas present to the Khejri Verein I'm now able to introduce the "Presse" part of the page, showing some articles about Khejri.
2000-12-23
Thanks to External HyperlinkAndreas Pierick who told me that he's got problems to display my pages I've now added additional attributes to the body tag. It seems that some older browsers have got problems to process CSS correctly, so that the text on my page appears black on a black background. I really feel sorry for that.
The External HyperlinkKhejri Page now includes the latest "Vereinsnachrichten" dated Nov. 2000.
Additionally I made some minor corrections, mainly typos.
2000-12-17
I added the "Vereinsnachrichten" to External HyperlinkKhejri. This is a hell of a job. Unfortunately I forgot to scan the second pages of some of the "news". They will be scanned later. The "Bilder" are now presented as seperate HTML files instead of pure JPG files. This enables me to define the background color for an image. This week we've got close to 700 loads of the Khejri page, and a total of more than 5000 accesses from all over the world to the rest of my pages. I want to welcome Canada, USA, Portugal, Norway and people from Denmark.
2000-12-15
I've tested the new External HyperlinkOpera 5.0 Browser and found that it has difficulties to correctly overwrite CSS with HTML font definitions. I changed my web page to refect this fact. Nevertheless it is one of the best browsers that I've ever seen.
2000-12-11
I added some pictures to the Azores and Africa pages. The membership to the Azores Web Ring now is confirmed.
2000-12-09
I reached the 95% marker in the External HyperlinkSETI@home project. Now I've calculated more workunits than 95% of the other members. I think that is a reason to open a bottle of wine (not that I need a reason).
Also my pages are now listed on the External Hyperlinkwww.urlaubsbilder.de webpage. I also updated my mirror pages at External HyperlinkGeocities and External HyperlinkTripod.
2000-12-07
The change to External HyperlinkPureTec was successful.
The Music page has been updated to include information about racks and Turntables.
2000-12-01
I requested to become part of the Azores Web ring with my Azores Page. I moved my page from Geocities to 1&1 External HyperlinkPureTec because I was tired of the advertisement that popped up on Geocities without being able to tell when. I will update the web forwarding tonight. It will need some time to be propagated to the nameservers. The Music section has been updated to include information about my stereo equipment.
2000-11-27
Again the Mountainbike, Azores and the Africa part have been changed to include more information. The top line of the start page now includes the domain name External Hyperlinkwww.JuergenKeil.de. I've included the Azores and the Africa page in the External Hyperlinkwww.urlaubsbilder.de web page. Hopefully someone finds them ethere.
2000-11-19
First I added index information for search engines to my pages; means meta tags with author, keywords and description. Second the Mountainbike and the Travel part have been expanded. Third, I added robot information to the pages. The browsers will try to reload my pages after 24 hours.
2000-11-15
I added sub domains to my chapters. Now one can have a look at the chapters without having to remind where they are. Also they are more easy to bookmark and remember. So additionally to the ones that previously existed: I added now:
  • http://africa.juergenkeil.de
  • http://azores.juergenkeil.de
  • http://audio.juergenkeil.de
  • http://travel.juergenkeil.de
  • http://budgies.juergenkeil.de
  • http://photo.juergenkeil.de
  • http://bike.juergenkeil.de
2000-11-12
I started to add some information in the Mountainbike part. it is still not finished yet.
2000-11-07
I changed all the pages to use Cascading Style Sheets. Additionally I added some hyperlinks (documentation references) to navigate in a page. Due to these changes the pages are displayed according to my design. Now all hyperlinks should appear in the same color(s). The navigation works the same in all pages. It should be better now.
2000-11-05
The travel part has been extended not only to include some hyperlinks but information about my equipment and experiences with it. Now it is more what I planned it to be. The photograph part has been proofread. Technically there were some changes. I moved the advertisment to the bottom instead of the top. Now it is displayed at the end of the page instead of the top (if it is displayed at all).
2000-10-26
I added my experience with broken cameras and lenses to the photography part. Additionally the bags section is increased by the new camera bag I bought in Cape Town.
2000-10-24
I returned from my holidays in South Africa. In Africa I had the chance to take a look at my web page using an old Power Mac running Netscape 4.0 ... brrr.
I had to do something and so I did.
Filenames were wrong (and some of them still are) but I hope I fixed at least some of them.
In the next few weeks I'll be busy developing the slides I took in Africa.
2000-10-03
I scanned the pictures of India and put them on the External HyperlinkKhejri Web Page . I still run into trouble with some of the Javascript code. So please be patient if you get error messages. This page is still not official. Additionally I removed some of the typos in the texts. I also scanned the Press releases and the "Vereinsnachrichten", but they need heavy editing before they can be published so please be patient.
From the 6th to the 22nd of october I will be in South Africa.
So don't expect anything to happen on this page.
2000-09-27
I received the documents and slides via snail mail. I hurried up to include the text in the Khejri web design. Khejri can now be reached via External Hyperlinkhttp://khejri.juergenkeil.de. I still have to review the slides and let them scan. Mrs. Jansen left to India for two month. Hope Mr. Jansen can check this page and tell me what he likes or doesn't like. I desperately need tips for improvement.
2000-09-24
Again lot's of people seem to use the Navigator 4.x. I checked the latest "official" release 4.75. Except for zero-width frames it seems to work. I changed the CSS font sizes from point to pixels. It seems that some browsers have problems calculating the correct size.
2000-09-23
I made a suggestion for the design of Khejri, hope it will suite the need. I know it's rather geeky, but I like this DHTML/CSS/Javascript stuff.
2000-09-20
I finally got it... My own domain http://www.juergenkeil.de!
Additionally I changed my e-mail address to ego@juergenkeil.de. Some other (minor) changes were required as well. I cleaned up some stuff.
2000-09-16
I created a new entry for KHEJRI a non profit organization working on a hospital in India. This is a project initiated by my girlfriends aunt Mrs. Jansen. I decided to support this project by designing its web presentation. I hope this will become a web success and the project can benefit from its web enabling.
2000-09-13
Created directory structure for the informations about myself. Finally I moved all the gifs to the corresponding directory and changed all references to them (hopefully). Now the reorganization should be finished.
2000-09-12
Created directory structure for Travel, Mountainbiking, Photography, Disclaimer, Thanks, Misc and History.
2000-09-11
Created directory structure for Music, Budgies, Azores, Africa and gifs before I'm not able to maintain this page anymore.
2000-09-08
Changed system to be able to be displayed with Opera 4.02. The Opera browser should work fine now. I also checked Netscape 6.0 beta. Except for a few DHTML elements everything seems to work fine with this browser as well.
2000-09-07
Inserted Travel, Photography menu items. Corrected errors in the Music menu item. Dummy m0 inserted.
2000-09-04
History of page inserted. I decided not to work on a Netscape 4.7 version anymore. It seems that the new Netscape 6 Browser will come soon.
2000-09-01
Created new images for the buttons that are more compliant to what Netscape 4.7.3 thinks should fit into my frames. I moved my page (webspace) from Homestead to Geocities.
2000-01-10
First upload of my new page at http://lispm.homestead.com. I Played around with different kind of HTML tags just to develop something that should become my "official" new home page lateron. Nothing serious, just not to forget all the HTML stuff and work with the new XML,XSL,CSS and other effects.
1997-12-01
Mummert+Partner resturcured their webserver and I discovered that my page cannot be reached anymore. I talked to their Sysadmin and he suggests to use http://asterix.mummert.com/~jkeil but I think it's better to go for on my own webspace.
1996-04-01
I left my old company Mummert+Partner to work for Schumann-AG. The page at Mummert+Partner is still available. Thanks to my old collegues.
1993-07-12
I put my page http://www.k.mup.de/~jkeil online. It just contains a list of records that I've got.
