GooRoo on-line for fewer hours for a while

I am going to be off-line far more each day until I have managed to create enough space to set up my wife's old computer in my computer room.

I have a still-sealed Windows XP installation disc, so if that old computer has problems, I will reformat the hard drive, and install onto an empty hard drive. Then use my October 2, 2016 version of the Gruntz Extraz DVD to set up Gruntz on that old computer. It won't be so much a matter of having a sneaker-net situation, but a swivel chair hook-up to move things from the desktop computer which will actually allow me to play Gruntz, to the laptop, which is linked to the InterNet. So I will once again be doing testing on those newer Custom Levelz which cannot run on a Windows 10 computer.

I really appreciate the capacity of today's thumb/flash drives, which will allow me to copy my software tools (such as Paint.net) to use on the desktop computer. Much improved over 880Kb micro-floppy discs! Even the "View the map!" images I will (once again) be able to make for newer CLs will fit on the smallest ones I have empty!

This time it is just the normal end-of-the-year maintenance task ... updating the copyrights on all of the pages of the web site "The Journey Home".

Each year I set out to just change the copyright line, but find 'tweaks' that need to be made ... beyond just adding the entry for the new index by Release Year.

I have updated many of the components, and was going to break for dinner and upload what I have completed ... and the new GoDaddy hosting will not allow me to login as I used to do. So I will contact assistance after dinner and our TV show.

Well, the switchover was NOT transparent to me. The login info changed, and was not translated for the new host. GoDaddy tech got me through the process, and I have uploaded the components I finished before dinner. Now to go back and finish the work.

I believe all of the web host components are now up-to-date, and will update the in-Forum index thread next.

So, after church tomorrow,I will resume the work on the Weapons Range GLEM components with the small map with concentric squares and a few Post Guard Gruntz placed where I think they cannot be struct by the various ranged missiles.
