History never repeats. Except for here
There used to be a news section on the now deceased home/spash page. Below is a record of it's history for posterity.
Below are past news items. NOTE: Many links and email addresses may be broken or inactive.
3/6/2006 - New Games! Two new games have been added to the games section. These include flash recreations of the classic Frogger, and also N-Blox (a Tetris-style game). Enjoy!
19/3/2006 - Unfortunately I don't think i'll be having any time in the near and not-so-near future to do any news intros. Howevever, as usual the blog and gallery etc will be updated fairly frequently. I'm hoping to do a complete site redesign by the end of the year.
15/6/2005 - Wow everything looks the same! Yes, I have just completed a complete site redesign, incorporating the same look-and-feel throughout the whole site, including the blog and gallery. I have also rearranged some of the site content. I'm going to try to do a new intro soon as well. Please let me know if there are any errors, dead links, or if you just absolutely love/hate the new look.
8/2/2005 - Have been really busy these last few months with work experience etc so unfortunately I haven't had time to do any new intros while I have been on holidays. A new one is planned soon though. Just a notice to regular site users, I have gotten rid of the sub-domains for URLs (eg. blog.lucascosti.com is now accessed through lucascosti.com/blog, and instead of gallery.lucascosti.com it is now lucascosti.com/gallery). Please update your bookmarks if necessary.
21/7/2004 - Just completed the new intro for the site. In my own opinion, it's not as good as the previous ones. I really wanted to do something a bit different than before (ie not something directly related to myself or the website).
It'll probably be the last site update for a while, as I go back to uni this week, and thus won't have much time to spend (or waste) on the site.
As usual, the blog and the gallery are the places to look for frequently changing (and interesting) stuff.
Feedback is, of course, still welcome.
17/11/2004 - Added the game Asteroids. Various pages have been updated: all of the flash intros and most of the games have been changed to display as a percentage of the screen rather than in pixels, and should look bigger at higher resolutions but still the same at 1024x768. A new intro is in the works...
26/6/2004 - I've done another intro. This one i really had fun doing. I like the image of me with the 'Vac Enforcer 4500'. There probably won't be many other updates these holidays, because, as the intro explains, i'm going to be having to do some work on COMP3804 (the year-long IT project).
If you haven't noticed i've put a splash animation at the 'proper' home page. It's only 3KB, so as my intros inevitably get larger, it'll save your browser from having to download a full intro every time you hit the site.
The blog is still the place to look for frequently changing stuff, and if anyone wants anything in the gallery, email it to me. Other minor updates include links, and the disclaimer.
Feedback is still welcome, either through the shoutbox, or by emailing me.
2/3/2004 - New intro is up, and explains why there probably won't be much activity on the site over the next few months (other than my blog of course). Hope you enjoyed it, i sure did! Kudos to anyone who can guess where I got the name 'Gysdintu' from.
I've installed a new shoutbox (thing on the right). This one has better archiving features and allows you to delete your own posts up to 60 seconds after making them. So if you posted something really dumb, you can save yourself the embarrassment.
Other updates include: links, about me (with south park pic).
As usual, if you want anything up in the gallery, email it to me. Appropriate feedback is still welcome, either through the shoutbox, the blog, or by emailing me.
29/1/2004 - The Gallery is now up. This means that the photos page is gone. If anyone wants any photos up, email them to me and if they are any good, i'll put them up. You might even see a few photos with me in it...
There have been a few updates in the meantime: games, about me (with a photo), and of course the most updated thing on the site (because it is easiest to update), my blog.
I've had (mostly) good feedback from people, and thanks to the people actively reading my blog and taking an interest in this site. It seems my time (and small amount of money) have been well spent (or wasted depending on your point of view).
As always (appropriate) feedback is welcome.
10/1/2004 - Welcome to lucascosti.com!! - Well i have talked about it, but now i've finally done it: yes i have spent (not much) money on this site, and have my own domain. Now i can do what i want free of Telstra bullcrap.
The centrepiece of the new site is my blog (short for weblog, an online journal sort of thing). The feedback forms are gone, because there is no cgi or perl scripts allowed on this server (hence cheap hosting). Comments can be made using the shoutbox (the thing on the right), or on my blog. Updates include games (space invaders!!), intros, and funny stuff.
As always i welcome feedback (although noone ever gives any!!!), so please tell me what you think!
1/1/2004 - FINALLY AN UPDATE! - Well it has been a while, but finally i have done a significant update to this site. New things include feedback, which has two implementations: a small feedback form located at the bottom of each page, as well as a feedback page for larger, more general feedback. Please comment/criticise me however you want! Now that i have more than one intro, i've created a intros section to see the history of intros for this site (currently only 2).
I've also changed the way that the tables (including layout)
are displayed, so people that have screen resolutions other than my own
(1024x768) should have a better view of the site. Other than that, there
are also other general updates (see games, funny
stuff). After experiencing more Telstra related troubles, I am also
currently investigating the possibilities of purchasing a hosting plan.
Hope you enjoy, and i welcome your feedback, either through the site's
feedback forms or the site email: lucasnetv1@hotmail.com.
***Note: site email changed, and feedback removed with transition to
lucascosti.com
21/10/2003 - Cut Off!! - This is the first time in quite a while (3 months!!) that i have actually been able to access to my site in order to update it because Telstra are seemingly having problems! Ah well, i've been busy too, so its coincided well. I've updated a few sections (such as funny stuff) so check it out. Over the holidays, expect me to go nuts!!
29/7/2003 - New Game : Helicopter added. Check out the Games page
13/7/2003 Site Launch - Thanks for visiting my site! As you can probably tell, I have decided on an inherently Matrix styled theme for the site as it is the 'year of the Matrix'. I hope you enjoyed the intro, it took me ages to make. I probably spent more time on that then the actual site itself!
Right now the site is kinda empty, but i was hoping that you would all help me out in filling it with crap. If you have any suggestions or material please email me on my site address on: lucasnetv1@hotmail.com. Keep coming over the next few weeks to check out the new additions.
