Update June 1, 2003

I'm about 80% through the conversion and should have the new site up and be ready to add your new suggestions sometime this week. For those of you who contribute multi-event timelines, you'll be happy to know that a new form will allow you to enter all of your events at one time without having to submit each event separately.

May 17-18, 2003

26 new timelines, 10 explorations

Note: This will be the last update for approximately two weeks. I am converting the site to a database driven site. This will allow me to present many more features. However, it will require that I cut and paste every timeline currently in the site to the new database. It will be a lot of work but will be worth it. I ask that you please hold your submissions until I post a notice that I'm ready to receive new ones. If you do submit during this time, I will post your submission as soon as I can, but if you hold off, I will have a new submission form which will allow me to immediately post your submissions, rather than wait until I have time to do an update. Any current submission not entered during this update will appear on the site when the database is rolled out. Thanks for all of your input and your support. I hope to be accepting new timelines and explorations in about two weeks.

Histalt a. contr. "historical alternatives" b. contr. "historical gestalt"
a way of thinking, a culture, a world(s)view, or broad framework within which to view history as potentially malleable. The historical gestalt of an alternate history is bigger than the details of a timeline resulting from changing one event. Nations, culture, technology, and institutions are all interconnected. You cannot change one thing ...

April 24-28, 2003 (This update will take place over a 4 day period)

Change in Format of the Site

Beginning with this update, the format of the site is going to change. Only the initial event of a timeline will appear on a date page. Instead of choosing next event to follow a timeline to it's completion, you will be able to click a link which says "view entire timeline". This will take you to a single page which will have the entire timeline laid out in chronological order. I have found that as I add more and events to the site, it is getting more and more difficult to follow a timeline. Some days such as November 22 have so many events on them that it is extremely difficult to find the correct timeline to follow.

The first timeline to be entered in the new method is timeline 571. It starts on June 13. The entire timeline can be viewed by clicking "View Entire Timeline" .

Over the next few months, I'll be converting all the previous entries to this format. In the meantime, all new entries will be in the new format.

March 27-April 01, 2003

March 27 - What's new? A new hard drive, new ram, new video board, a new operating system, and an old computer that's running like new. Thanks to Bernie Weinsaft and Rick Foltz for figuring out that the repair shop I took my PC to gave me mismatched memory that has caused me problems for several months. Now that I can update again, I'll start tonight with a couple of quick items and then post every night until I clear out my backlog of your suggestions. Thanks for your patience while I've been out of commission!

April 1 - I am now caught up on everything that came in (and didn't get lost) during the computer problems. If you submitted something and don't see it in this update, I can only apologize for losing it and ask that you resubmit it if you can. Thanks.

New Footer

I've added a footer a the bottom of each date page explaining that this is an alternate history site. I've received several emails form people telling me I got the history wrong. At first I thought they were just not clear on the concept of alternate history, but then I thought maybe people are hitting a date page directly from a search engine. I have now confirmed that this is what is happening. I hope I haven't caused anyone to get an F on a history report.
