Wednesday, February 3^rd, 1999 I have noticed that I could save a lot of disk space on my Themes page. The images that I got from Cap'n Jim were uncompressed JPEG's. So I have started loading and saving them with The GIMP to reduce their size. I am getting about a 66% savings in space. I can't do this all at once, so the themes whose table backgrounds are grey on the index page are NOT done. If you have any of the others, feel free to downlaod them again, and save yourself some space. (Ain't I a nice guy? :) Monday, February 1^st, 1999 Updated entry for WMDate on the Dock Apps page.

I'll have a new one up real soon now. Saturday, January 2^nd, 1999 Added 2 new themes to the Themes page: Captured & Captured II. I put 2 up since new themes have been few and far between lately, plus the 2 themes go together. On another good note, I've emailed Cap'n Jim about the fact that I'm running out of images, so he sent me some, including some previously unreleased stuff (like Captured II). Excellent!
