I now have the Domain Name: zyvra.org for ten years.

Last Up date: 2010 January 8 click on date to see disclaimer about this site.
I have not updated this since I left Quartzsite April 2009. Since then I bought an iMac and used it in San Jose. Then on the October 28, just before I left for Quartzsite I bought an AZUS Eee PC which has Win-7; and it will run my DOS 6.2 programs which I prefer to use to update my web pages. Sadly, I am now confused as to where the latest version of my web pages are at.

  1. 2010-January-10 I just added a link to my main page. I will go back and at least get a list of updated pages since 2009 April and at least put them here.

    One of the most obvious changes occurred in September when I got Google Voice. I changed the telelphone number display at the bottom of almost every page; and made it link to a page that has the Google Voice graphic and explains how to use it. On that page I put a link to the Bio page the old phone number links went to, it makes the Bio one click further away, but does not change any other links to it. (Some links may have been on other web sites.)

    Upcoming changes, hopefully in the near future

    On my Home Page I have links to: Ursl, My Likes, Interests, Advice; and Interests, and "less used links". This all needs to be consolidated.

  2. 2009-April-11 10:40:39 I added a more recent photo on my bio page.

    Mid December 2008 I bought an Apple Mac Mini, because I hated the HP/Vista 64-bit so much. See next change update. I haven't yet figured out how to update my web pages on the Mac, and I lost the source files I brought with last fall. So I haven't done much updating of my web pages, and won't until I get back to San Jose where I have a WinMe computer which runs DOS programs better than anything Microsoft has done since. The few New things are:

  3. 2008-July-7 12:18 I am editing this on an HP Tablet computer running VISTA Home Premium Version 6.0 (64-Bit). Both are the worst I have seen! It appears the designers of both think I am their victim, and their purpose is to sell me everything they can from any company who pay will them to "force advertize". In short you pay HP (and indirectly Microsoft) for tons of SPAM. Need I point out: Everybody hates VISTA, except possibly Apple and Steve Jobs?
  4. When I get back to San Jose, I will try to put a version of Linex on this computer, and dump everything from HP, Microsoft, Symantic and other trash peddlers. In a way it saddens me to write this because at one time HP was such a great company. That was when Bill Hewlett and David Packard ran the company, but since they left it has been going to the dogs as more and more of the old employees jump ship.

  5. 2008-April-26 I reloaded the web pages I did while over the winter in Quartzsite. This is so my San Jose computer E: drive contains the most recent versions of all my web pages. (This will return a darker yellow background.
  6. 2007-July-28 I started a bit of a "clean-up" of the web pages. So I can tell them easier newer pages will have a slightly lighter yellow background. Supporting the web site from a different computer in San Jose from the one I used in Quartzsite has caused some problems, what I have on the San Jose computer does not have updates I made in Quartzsite.
  7. 2007-07-06 I copied my Math stuff to a new folder so www.lafarr.com/math would get to it. (The old folder is, for the time being still there, so older links on other peoples web sites will still work. Eventually, I will make those jump to the newer folder.)
  8. 2007-July I decided some of the tables I had tucked away would be better if they were directly available. I put the links where there was a General Weather link, it is now just the "NOAA" heading below.
  9. 2007-June I found out the MVQA and WPQA sites were not available when I stopped the DSL service I had with the Quartzsite phone company TDS. I switched those links to go to a temporary page.
  10. 2007-May I inserted a note about my problems with the neighbors putting Moth Balls around their place, to the extent I felt like I was being gassed.
  11. 2006-July-31 I added an article critical of Israel's attack on Lebanon, under "World Problems".
  12. 2006-02-15 I changed the Phone Number Block at the end of pages go to wwww.lafarr.info which will now go to my BIO page. I need to recompile and upload the more popular pages for this correction.
  13. 2006-02-08 Added under "World Problems" a link to "Rights?" which I think is an interesting discussion of Peoples Rights in the USA.
  14. 2006-02-06 Made www.lafarr.com go to a page where I am putting on line the original lease for the "Resorts" where I own property. This makes "clicking" on the phone number block go to the lease pages, the older pages will say for my BIO; so I have a link to the BIO near the top of the first Quartzsite lease page.
  15. 06-01-24 Moved the list of "Interesting Websites" to a separate page, and made the title to it a link.
  16. 2006-01-19 Changed my "ending block" to make it more obvious the phone numbers image is a link.
  17. 2006-January-13 I added "Tables" and "Addresses" links.
  18. 2005-October-16 I have added a page about getting public transportation to and from Quartzsite. To find it: click on the phone number block at the bottom of each page, there is a link there.

    I also added a page about getting better gasoline mileage. It is sort of hidden. From my main page, you have to click on "World Problems" then "Petroleum" then follow an obvious link.

  19. 2005 October 11 I got the old Quartszite Hot air Balloon photos up.
  20. 2005 October 5. Added a link to a page with African photos to my main page, it is also in my Friends and Relatives page.
  21. 2005 October 1. Because I have had some biter complaints because of my domain name changes, I have put a disclaimer on a few pages. You can get to it from this page. I hope to keep the pages, but then I never anticipated loosing: ZYVRA.NET
  22. Recently, there has been a lot of talk about teaching about God in biology classes. (Now called "Intelligent Design".) I put some thoughts about evolution and the origins of life into a web page. There's a link at the bottom of my home page.
  23. Later in September 2005, I added some thoughts about the Katrina, and Rita.
  24. In September 2005 I put in new pages about: a trip to Flaming Gorge, and some thoughts about "World Problems" Mostly running out of petroleum.
  25. 2005 Aug 15: I registered http://www.zyvra.com/ and have web space for a blog. Expect to run "Pivot" blog program, on it. Some time ago I made my phone numbers at the bottom of each page a link. The link to "weeds in my back yard" is now reached from there. But in the future I expect this to go to the blog. It is my hope to have recent events in my life there, as well as comments from others.
  26. I modified my web page making tools to put in the date when I start a new web page. Often, I make a trivial change to a web page which shows up as the Last up Date; but the date it was started is often more relevant. So now my newer pages will have both.

  27. Mid August 2005: I was able to get back the Domain Name: LAFARR.COM (The case does not matter, but with the internet, I think it is smarter to use all lower case.) I now have www.lafarr.com forwarded to www.zyvra.org/lafarr/bio.htm I think that is more what people who only know my first name would want.
  28. New Feature:

    Links in a "yellow" background are to my pages. Often, they have more links to someone else's pages. I put them in a separate page of related links. I hope this reduces the confusion of too many similar links.
    Links in "white" backgrounds are not to my pages. I have no control over them. But, I chose the ones I want to include.
    If you find links that don't work, I would appreciate your letting me know. Thanks.

    I have the HTML source for the web site on my hard drive here in Quartzsite, AZ. As of 2005 April 20 I am remaking my web pages starting with the Home Page. Others will follow shortly.

    If by some quirk of fate I am able to get the zyvra.net domain name back I certainly will. It will point to the same web site, so links at other web sites pointing to mine would continue to work.
