What's New on the SFDG Web Site

July 23, 2002

• Obviously, I haven't been updating this page. Each month, I change the main, meetings, and specific-books pages to refer to our next two books, and the voting statistics page with the votes for the book that we most recently discussed. I also create a page for the book most recently discussed (on July 23 2002, that was Mars Crossing by Geoffrey A. Landis).

October 4, 2000:

• Obviously, I haven't been updating this page as much as I've been updating the site. There needs to be some automated system to track updates ;-).
• Ignoring the changes between March 3, 1999 and October 3, 2000 inclusive ;-) my most recent changes have been updates of the main, meetings, and specific-books to refer to Maureen F. McHugh's China Mountain Zhang as this month's book.
• The other recent change was to plug in updated voting statistics on all books we've voted on thus far. That's every book we've discussed since December 1997 except Mike Resnick's Kirinyaga (I don't remember why I didn't collect votes on this one, though I will say a number of people found the book offensive ;-) and David G. Hartwell's Year's Best SF 4 (since it didn't seem cricket to give a single numeric vote on an anthology of diverse stories by diverse writers).

March 2, 1999:

• Updated pages to refer to our next book, Fire Upon the Deep
• Uploaded a page with Statistics on all book votes thus far.
• Created a web page for Forever Peace.

January 16, 1999:

• Created an initial web page for Hyperion.

November 22, 1998:

• I created a web page for The Gate to Women's Country.
• Updated the main, meetings, and specific-books to reference Hyperion instead of The Gate to Women's Country.

October 23, 1998:

• I created a web page for Fairyland based on last night's discussion! Clearly, taking notes via computer saved a lot of time.
• Updated the main, meetings, and specific-books to reference The Gate to Women's Country instead of Fairyland.

October 9, 1998:

• I finally used my remaining notes to update the page on Brain Wave so that it (hopefully) makes some sense now. Apologies for the delay! I welcome any corrections or additions; my scribblings are no longer fully legible.
• I finally updated the main, meetings, and specific-books pages to reflect the fact that our next book will be Fairylandand not The Sirens of Titan.
• I also made a few other minor updates to the main page and the news page to reflect the fact that the IU Press reprint of Riddley Walker is now available.

August 15, 1998:

• Created a password-protected Members Page where we can upload contact info on each other. Added a link to the main page. You can e-mail me (my first name @ this domain name) for the password).
• I finally uploaded HTMLized and uploaded Peter's Definitions of Excruciatingly Arcane Words Found in Gene Wolfe's THE SHADOW OF THE TORTURER
• I added a short parenthetical paragraph to my "Bibliography of the New Sun" mentioning the new Science Fiction Book Club single-volume edition of The Book of the New Sun, and linked in Peter's Definitions.
• I linked the page about The Shadow of the Torturer to Peter's Definitions
• [Happy Birthday Dave!]

July 19, 1998:

• I finally created this page ;-)
• I updated the news page with a little about Riddley Walker
• I updated the page about Stations of the Tide
• I updated the page about The Shadow of the Torturer, and
• I created a short guide to books about Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun.

Whew!
