1-19-09: 2008 in review
Ever since 2009 dawned I have been meaning to update this site, and only today did I get a day off work and decide I should do it. The major update is the new 2008 Comic Collection Statistics. I ended up purchasing exactly 250 comics during the year, which is considerably fewer than I bought during 2007.
In addition to finally cataloging the comics I bought in 2008, I made another trip to the comic book store earlier this month to pick up the latest issue of Young X-Men (and several other issues). My comics page and pull list page have been updated accordingly. After reading through Young X-Men I updated the Victor Stats page with information about issue #9.
Beyond updating my big list of comics, I have made several substantial changes to the xhtml/php backend of this site. It was a pain to made edits to every single page on the site, but now the navigation menus and stylesheets are far easier to maintain. I also cleaned up the site's directory structure a bit, making much easier to find the files I need when I am working on the site.
I have also been reading more actual books. I am currently getting into the Camulod Chronicles series by Jack Whyte, which tells the story of King Arthur from the perspective of his Roman ancestors. I had initially purchased the fourth book in the series several years ago, not realizing it was the fourth book, and just now have gotten around to reading all the novels, so I can actually read the book I own. It is pretty good and rather compulsive to read, but then, I like King Arthur stories. I have added these books to my list of books I have read.
