- February 5th, 2010
     Reorganized the Projects section of the site into a categorical format, and put two new "inventions" under the Projects->Inventions section: the terminator glasses and the saw sheath.

- January 13th, 2010
     Put up two new Flash things that I did for work over the past year (corrosion cell and dynamic fireworks) here.

- January 12th, 2010
     Put up three new Flash things I've done over the past half-year, Whip the Ragdoll, HeightField Glue, and a physics balancing game, all here. I'm beginning to realize that the main reason I don't update my site often (besides the fact that nobody sees it anyway), is that it's such a pain in the ass. I'm no web developer, so I do everything through simple text files like the hardcore hacker that I am. This hardcoredom is taking it's toll though. I may have to make the move to one of those ubiquitous blog engines soon. Alas, creativity in personal websites has fallen under the hammer of automation.

- May 11th, 2009
     Put up a Flash breakout clone, the first project I did for the Johnson Simulation Center, here.

- April 30th, 2009
     Put up an essay attempting to explain corrosion, here.

- April 21th, 2009
     Put up a short poem here.

- April 17th, 2009
     Put up another short story about my first wild weekend in Spain. Wanted to finally knock some of these stories off of my todo list.

- April 7th, 2009
     Put up a short story about a disturbing morning walk through the Puszcza Bukowa forest near Szczecin, Poland.

- April 2nd, 2009
     Put up a simple gravity physics engine here that I wrote to help me learn ActionScript 3.0 for my job about a year ago.

- March 29th, 2009
     Put up a chicken parm recipe in the Cooking section. I need to buy a camera.

- March 28th, 2009
     Put up a coffee "recipe" in the Cooking section.

- March 15th, 2009
     Put up a new Polish recipe under the Cooking section.

- February 22nd, 2009
     Put up some recipes under the new Cooking section.

- February 13th, 2009
     Put up a simple script here that I wrote some months ago to simulate a boat floating on wavy water for some game.

- February 8th, 2009
     This weekend I got two of my Flash projects up and hosted here. I have 4-5 more I want to put up, but they need some polish and I'm a perfectionist procrastinator...bad combination.

- January 27th, 2009
     Put up three new picture galleries...some from a Poland to Spain road trip, some from when my friends Dan and Steph came to Poland, and some from when Aga came to America most recently.

- January 20th, 2009
     Hmm ok it's been a while since the last content update, but I have more free time on my hands now, so gonna be putting up some new content and doing some housecleaning. To begin, I fixed a redirect hack that caused traffic to my site from search engines to be sent to some malicious site, then patched up the security hole that the hacker used (I hope). Then I added the 3d Flash gallery to the front page. I originally created the underlying application for a project at work, but adapted it to be a little more artsy.

- June 14th, 2008
     Added my first primitive bow to projects.

- May 13th, 2008
     Added my New Guinea sword to collections.

- May 12th, 2008
     Been meaning to add [prev]-[back]-[next] navigation to project pictures for a while, but only today finally got around to doing it.

- April 30th, 2008
     Added projects->solarsystem, a printing plate I made a few years ago.

- April 19th, 2008
     In addition to the standard navigation, added to gallery images the ability to move to the previous and next pictures by clicking on the left and right side of the current one. A novelty?

- April 15th, 2008
     Added accounts section.

- April 8th, 2008
     Merged projects->peacefulman into projects->ausart, a new subsection that also contains the newly added banana and woman pictures.

- April 6th, 2008
     Added a vids section and populated it with just videos of Toto for now. Sometime soon I want to try my hand at making a few how-to videos for card and juggling tricks though.

- April 3rd, 2008
     Added dragon sculpture to projects.

- April 1st, 2008
     Migrated my Australia pictures to use the new automatic gallery script, with comments supplied dynamically from a database...so no more messing around with those horrible html thumbnail gallery generators.

- March 26th, 2008
     Put up three new picture galleries; some of my dog Toto, some randoms from Poland, and some from my Easter trip to Zakopane. But more importantly, I've written a script that automatically generates the thumbnails and galleries. All that's needed is to upload the pictures and the rest is done automatically.

- March 20th, 2008
     Added a lot of minor things, like the quotes and writings->musings sections, a few more links, and my cheesey flashlight lamp invention in projects. Log section updated with a new entry for March 20th.

- March 1st, 2008
     The miraculous virgin conception of dougkoellmer.com! I still have a lot of drawings and other projects that I want to scan and take pictures of, but here's a good start. When I get a nice camcorder, there'll be some guitar videos put up too. There's but a small portion of my pictures from Australia up, so hopefully I'll get some others digitized. Yea so still a lot of stuff coming...
