bubax.org and its associates have been more or less completely redesigned |
|
|
Many old paths have become invalid. If you enter an invalid address, however, you should be redirected to the appropriate location |
|
|
I hope these changes will help me keeping this site updated with less effort |
July 10th 2003 | |
|
|
First streamlined thing: The copyright and disclaimer has been modified and smoothened. A dull job; but such things seem to be necessary |

First attempt of streamlining bubax.org... This effort is visible on the start site |

|
After I have successfully completed the “summer holidays” (December 2002 to July 2003) I’ve finally found some spare time to do some critical debugging |
|
|
The point is this: Under certain circumstances (usually concerning slow internet connections or a lazy server), there has been observed infinite reloading. This messy inconvenience should be erased now. Thanks to the people who gave feedback on this bug |
|
|
The reason for those long “holidays” will be explained later. I’m sorry if you’ve been bored in the meantime |

|
Due to the existence and activity of SpamBots I have removed or modified all direct e-mail links |

Major modifications of scripts... |

Minor modifications of scripts... |

I really don’t have any spare time |
November 17th 2002 | |
|
|
Just rewritten the Photo Gallery |
|
|
You won’t notice this, however |
|
|
This had to be done because unfortunately I had to put all the images onto another server. I hope the new one will be save and stable enough |
November 2nd 2002 | |
|
|
Unnecessarily, I’ve exerted some impact on the status area |
|
|
Interestingly, Netscape 7.0 doesn’t take care about my intentions |
|
|
I mean, the only thing it really does is not showing anything most of the time |
|
|
But this fact gave me the chance to go over Techniques again |
October 28th 2002 | |
|
|
Some changes made to support Netscape 7.0, too |
|
|
This has influenced my statements in the Techniques section |
|
|
Some of the changes I was forced to introduce might seem intelligible to the judging mind. Others appear to be so incomprehensible I really wonder why it does work in the end |
|
|
Will I ever check it out with Opera one cloudy day? What about Netscape 8.0? Is there a chance to place some news here, or do I always have to support other browsers? What am I doing in my spare time? |
|
|
Concerning http://www.bubax.com/, no progress has been made. Except support for Netscape 7.0 |
October 10th 2002 | |
|
|
http://www.bubax.com/ is accessible since today |
|
|
You have to be patient, however, until sock brokerage begins |
|
|
There are other things to do |
October 8th 2002 | |
|
|
Some really quite minor bugs have been removed |
|
|
These bugs have been affecting especially my German visitors |
|
|
So they were pushed to the English sites in certain cases... Sorry! |
October 5th 2002 | ||
|
|
Links section added to bubax.org. The list is (of course) not complete yet | |
|
|
From a technical point of view there’s not very much to do left. I went over everything and consider it to be good. Or OK, at least | |
|
|
I also introduced a way of giving a suggestion about the status of a specific site.
Sites or sections under construction are labeled with an animated gif. This gif is provided

Last remaining bugs removed... | ||||||||||
September 28th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
The structure of bubax.org has been modified completely. Therefore it is also possible to set a direct link to any of its subdirectories | ||||||||||
|
|
These modifications also resulted in simplified techniques and enable more stable
browsing. (Some rare and weird JavaScript errors have been catched and removed throughout this process) | ||||||||||
|
|
Thanks section removed. It’ll be replaced by a chapter called Links soon | ||||||||||

Four more lanterns added to Photo Gallery. At least one of them is actually not a lantern | ||||||||||

|
Photo Gallery modified [1]: Resolutions other than 800x600 are also supported from now on. The image size automatically adapts to your screen resolution | ||||||||||
|
|
Photo Gallery modified [2]: You can use the back button of your browser to leave a photo collection. Without any restrictions. (Actually, there’s a little bug that remained. In certain cases there won’t be a real back button... But that doesn’t mean any harm) | ||||||||||
|
|
Buggy links in the HP48GX section repaired | ||||||||||
July 5th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
Photo Gallery updated: My niece’s birthday party added | ||||||||||
|
|
Photo Gallery modified: Some technical modifications introduced. As a consequence thereof, I’ll soon be able to eliminate certain restrictions. For example, other resolutions than 800x600 will also give fine results. I’m working on these improvements | ||||||||||

May 22nd 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
The Copyright & Disclaimer section has been rewritten. That doesn’t have any reasonable effect concerning the visitor: There are rules, restrictions, and reglementations... | ||||||||||
|
|
Everything considered, I strongly suggest to read any Copyright & Disclaimer section that does actually exist before entering the world wide web. If you don’t follow this suggestion, there’s a reasonable possibility of breaking somebody’s rules... | ||||||||||

The German edition http://www.bubax.de/ is from now on working more or less independently from bubax.org. Although it keeps on lagging behind compared to the English edition, it may serve as an alternative for some visitors | ||||||||||
May 9th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
The Photo Gallery again has been improved. The improvement concerns the way the image descriptions are displayed. Since the code looks somewhat more bewildering now, I hope I haven’t mistyped anything. Please do not hesitate reporting any bugs | ||||||||||
May 7th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
Acknowledgement section added (“Thanks”) | ||||||||||
|
|
At this occasion the buttons were re-designed. I think they’re looking somewhat prettier now | ||||||||||
|
|
Additionally, I’ve re-introduced the feature of leaving a photo collection by just clicking on the image | ||||||||||
May 4th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
The JavaScript code is now completely debugged. As far as I’ve tested it, there are virtually no restrictions anymore. The only way of willingly produce a JavaScript error is to use the browser internal back button inside a photo collection. Using Internet Explorer, however, you have to click that button several times to get an error message, so... Good luck | ||||||||||
|
|
The browser internal reload button is also debugged and therefore works anywhere at bubax.org without restrictions | ||||||||||
May 3rd 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
http://www.bubax.de/ updated | ||||||||||
|
|
Some minor and unimpressing changes throughout bubax.org | ||||||||||
May 2nd 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
The JavaScript code has been completely modified | ||||||||||
|
|
Due to these modifications, there are less JavaScript errors to be expected. The only one I have observed occurs while using the browser internal reload button. Sorry for this inconvenience. You can use the reload button on the left instead | ||||||||||
|
|
The most important benefit concerns the Photo Gallery. It works much faster... | ||||||||||
|
|
Sorry, however, for I’m no native speaker. If you have observed any problems, errors, difficulties... Just contact me | ||||||||||

A brief description of these small navigation buttons (again). They are somewhat smaller since today | ||||||||||
|
|
Especially the reload button seems to have freaked the people.
But there was no other character I could imagine to express the fact of
getting through all the mess ever and again. At least not in the font
types installed on the machine I used for creating these buttons. Well:
| ||||||||||
|
|
You may use these buttons anywhere at bubax.org. The browser internal back and forward buttons do work as well, except inside a photo collection. So, please avoid using them there | ||||||||||
April 23rd 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
You can now use the small top, bottom, back, forward, and reload buttons anywhere at bubax.org. The browser internal back and forward buttons do work as well, except inside a photo collection. So, please avoid using them there | ||||||||||
|
|
From now on the right border will be used for navigation, too | ||||||||||
April 22nd 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
The Photo Gallery is now debugged | ||||||||||
|
|
The bug I’ve talked about so much has finally turned out to
be a wicked misinterpretation by the Internet Explorer, not
reasonable in any way. Therefore it was quite hard to be found.
Netscape Navigator, in contrast, usually follows a certain path of
misinterpretation, consequently and not idle, making it feasible at
least to guess what’s going wrong. [If you really want to know what the bug was about: Some of the descriptions didn’t show up properly. Because of the height of certain <td> tags. That was all] | ||||||||||
|
|
The Photo Gallery has also be re-designed and now contains a second collection of photographs. To be continued | ||||||||||
April 9th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
Two additional navigation buttons were introduced. They are:
| ||||||||||
|
|
You will find them among the links on the left. Sometimes they do also appear on the right border. Especially the top button is frequently to be found at the very bottom | ||||||||||
|
|
Until today they won’t actually appear in the HP48GX and Photo Gallery section. Modifications of these areas are to be expected within the following week | ||||||||||
|
|
You wish to know what they are for...? Yesss...? | ||||||||||
|
|
If you forgot about the other three little buttons, you may click here to have a look at April 3rd’s events | ||||||||||
April 7th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
The whole thing is physically flattened now (as a consequence of the modifications mentioned six days ago). That makes everything easier for me, but not for my visitor. You will hardly notice any change | ||||||||||
|
|
A weird bug in the Photo Gallery concerning the Internet Explorer but not Netscape Navigator (!!!) is far from being solved. Not harmful, but weird, weird, weird | ||||||||||
|
|
And vice versa: A minor and hard-to-notice bug concerns Netscape Navigator only. Without any reasonable reason. I can’t help... | ||||||||||
April 6th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
Techniques rewritten | ||||||||||
April 5th 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
Another font used... I think it’s a little bit more relaxing for the eyes | ||||||||||
|
|
Three additional navigation buttons were introduced. They are:
| ||||||||||
|
|
They are necessary for circumventing a certain set of incompatibilities with the [back] and [forward] functions of browsers. While diving inside the HP48GX and Photo Gallery areas please use only these buttons. Browser buttons will produce errors in some cases | ||||||||||
|
|
However, I’d recommend not to use any of these back and forward buttons anyway as long as you stay in the Photo Gallery. There won’t arise any harm, but the results may look somewhat unexpected... | ||||||||||
|
|
Outside these special areas there’s little difference between browser and Bubax buttons | ||||||||||
April 1st 2002 | |||||||||||
|
|
The whole site has been completely modified and technically improved (although you have to look out twice if you want to see what I mean) | ||||||||||
|
|
As a matter of fact and resulting from these modifications (I’m sorry about that, but I couldn’t find any way to circumvent it) you can’t navigate freely through the deeper paths hidden under the plain surface of bubax.org any longer. No bookmarks except a single one for the main page. At least unless you know how to | ||||||||||
March 30th 2002 | |||||||||||

Introduction of a set of German sites. The German version (which will always remain tightly linked to bubax.org) is in development now. It is available at http://www.bubax.de/ | ||||||||||

A known bug of the Photo Gallery is fixed. The screen loads much more quickly... However, it hasn’t reached an ideal state yet. I need to work on the JavaScript code | ||||||||||
