History

Sometime in August 1996 I received a CD-Rom from CompuServe with their home-page publisher. What first seemed to be just a bit of playing around over the time evolved into a serious project. I did the first uploads sometime in September (trying to master HTML-language), and started recording what I added at the beginning of October.

October 20, 2001: Long time since I updated this site. Since I'm now into programming Web Sites professionally I don't seem to have time to do my own pages. I updated all links. Only working links there now. No new ones, though.

Teri Dusenbury, the designer of the pattern I used, does not want the photo to appear on my page, so I deleted any material concerning the pattern, except for the mention in the original needletatting messages (for archival purposes). She has the right to do so, and I sadly accept this.
