Well here it is, one month into 2009, and the new website is nowhere to be found. You knew that was gonna happen, didn't you? Hehe.

I'll give you the lowdown. I did start working on it. In fact, a lot of the framework is pretty much set in stone. I'm trying to make everything look consistent instead of all these different layouts for each page, because that's insanely hard to maintain.

The problem is redoing all the content. Not much good renovating a website when you don't have much content to put in there. I bought a digital SLR camera so I'm now able to add more professional-looking content to the site. All the ingredients are in place.

Soooo... when? I really can't tell you. As I said before I'm fixing everything. All sections. All pages. Nothing is getting overlooked. I want this to be a full-blown new experience. An experience that will keep people coming back.

Maybe I'll surprise you with a July 2009 launch, but it may very well extend all the way to January 2010. I hope for the former, for my own sanity, but with the way my schedule works, who knows? But keep coming back periodically. You may just find yourself immersed in a new era of Joey's Homepage. Stay tuned.

A warning to the legacy browser users who refuse to upgrade: Your days are numbered. When version 9.0 of this website is unleashed, the old browsers of ancient times will no longer be supported.

What I mean by that, however, is a matter of aesthetics. It does not mean my site will be inaccessable. Even if you use the very first browser created from the stone age, you will be greeted with plain old vanilla text on the site, completely legible, readable, and somewhat still useful. All I will be doing is killing off the style sheet so it doesn't look like a tornado came through here.

As long as you're using Internet Explorer 7.0+, Firefox 1.5+, Safari 1.3+, Netscape 8.0+, Chrome, Opera, iCab, AOL 8.0+, or any W3C-supported browser, you're in the clear and don't have to worry about any limitations.

And yes, for you people who insist on still using Internet Explorer 6.0, you're on the browser-dump list. I refuse to waste an extra 25-30% of my development time attempting to support one of the crappiest browsers known to man. If you're still using IE6, do all the worldly web developers a favor and upgrade, either to IE7 or another browser. If you refuse, then plain vanilla text for you! Many other developers have already pledged their unwillingness to support the browser, and I am soon happily joining them.

I did make a compromise on screen resolution. The site will dynamically expand in width, so no matter if you're using a 15" monitor with 800x600 resolution, or a 24" monitor with 1920x1200 resolution, the website will automatically adjust itself so it fills your browser window. See? I'm a nice person.

Current Status: This version of the site is no longer being maintained. Production of the new site started November 2008 and is ongoing.

Updates: Status updates may take place at any time. Standard updates will usually take place around 12:00am Pacific Time on the first of the month. Seasonal or yearly updates follow similar schedules. I may spend anywhere from a few days to a few weeks (or months) preparing pages for publication, such as the case of any major renovations.

Thanks for visiting. Ya know, when you really think about it, there isn't that much here as far as substance. You'd think I would take care of that, but with all that's going on these days, I don't really update my pages like I used to. Strangely enough, my Mega Man and Anime Arena subsites (which I never update) still get a lot of old-time visitors, keeping the site alive. I do plan on adding extra sections by the next major update. Until then, have a good time looking around, if you see anything that happens to interest you.
