old revision log in reverse order
24. Aug. 1997 - Due to massive overdosing during the last overhaul of this site, I think I will take a few weeks off now and not touch any Lafferty, although I got three unread books in the queue.
16. Okt. 1997 - Got a few more books, read a few more and updated the page accordingly. Thanks for all the feedback so far.
1.Nov.1997 - Since 16.Okt a lot of changes have been and will be made. By the end of the year I should be getting a lot more Lafferty material.
29.Nov.1997 - Added finally two summaries in the Novel section. Fixed up the bio info a bit.
3.Feb.1998 - Still waiting for the 1.Nov shipment...
In the meantime I got a lot of info about german translations from Christian Pree
10.Feb.1998 - News from Lafferty's cousin!! Thanks to Chris Merle from the OSFW for thisinfo
12.Mar.1998 - Got a lot of information concerning dutch translations and shortstories fromJohan Elzer. I also got some nice background info and shortstory info from Sheryl Smith. I finally got the 1.Nov shipment and am wading knee-deep in Lafferty material. Expect to see updates more regularly. Also check out the Links as I have added a lot of background links there.
30.Mar.1998 - Added translation information from Piotr Gociek Fixed message-board for Netscape consumption.
01.Apr.1998 - Slight HTML fixes. Added a shortstory review.
17.Apr.1998 - Sigh, one more Netscape table bug in mainpage killed
18.Jul.1998 - Fixed a few short stories typos, and corrected the ratings statistics, which were really sloppy. Added a link to Crank!
21.Jul.1998 - Fixed some broken links (thanks go to Carol de Priest for bringing this to my attention)
25.Aug.1998 - Fixed message board strangeness, by removing a comment. This should hopefuly work fine now. Read Aurelia. Thanks to Gary Bearman for graciously providing me with a copy. Review coming soon.
3.Dec.1998 - Added a link, update the novel section a bit. I still haven't gotten around to writing reviews proper for Alaric and Aurelia. Actually I do like them both. Started with the Coscuin chronicles again, but didn't get very far - again. A bit the "Devil is Dead"ish, which I found also a drag to read. I am a shortstory fan
24.Feb.1999 - Background work for a really big change with a switch to WebObjects and plans for a user updateable Database. Its gonna be big, if it works
