Updates
and News for
The
Julian Sands Page
December
30, 1999:
The
latest edition of the site poll is up and
running, asking your opinion on both the site and the most recent of
Julian's projects. Cast your vote and check out the new real-time results!
The
site search engine is also back,
thanks to the improved functionality of the search. More pages on the
site are catalogued, and there are more keywords to check with; so if
you're looking for something in particular on this site, you'll have
another great way to find it, and fast!
I
added information on two new projects: Timecode 2000 and Love
Me, as well as an obscure project from 1999 called Mercy.
Check the Filmography for details.
I
added a navigation script to the bottom of all major pages. This is
a plus for navigation, but may still be a bit buggy. Let
me know if there are any problems with it.
Links
for all projects currently available in the U.S. through Amazon.com
on VHS video or DVD have been added to the individual filmography
pages. A few old films have recently been released or re-released, so
if you're looking to add to your video collection, now may be the
time, before they're out of print once again.
One-stop
shopping! A formal bookstore, with a
variety of projects that are available for purchase, has been
established. Check it out, and support
the site!
December
23, 1999:
Well,
after a lengthy absence, the site is finally back up again. We've
had to change servers for the second time in a few months, due to the
total lack of reliability of the most recent webhosts. A crash on
their system destroyed all of the site's files, and then they elected
to delete all backups with no notification to webmasters less than a
week later. The logic of this? Go figure. If you want logic, service
and reliability, free or not, don't use RedRival.com. We've relocated
to the 50megs.com servers, which are free, seem (so far) to be
reliable, and will give us plenty of room for expansion. We will have
to put up with banner advertising for a short while, until I get the
site converted to an advertising-free, paid account, but that time
should be short-lived.
The
unfortunately lengthy down-time for the site was result of a computer
conpiracy ;), as my computer went down mere days after RedRival's
did, and I've been without computer access for some weeks. I've only
now been able to restore the site from backups on a substitute
system. Hopefully this will be the last calamity we'll ever
experience with the site.
Once again, the
site can still be found at http://www.juliansands.org, so make sure
your bookmarks refer to that address, and not any of the direct
server addresses. Regardless of where the actual site resides, it
will always be found at that address.
Now
that the site's back up again, I'll be working on updates for a
while, trying to get us caught back up with the present. I'll also be
on the look-out for any problems with the transition to the new
servers, so if you find anything amiss while perusing the site,
please let me know,
so that I can fix things as soon as possible. And, as always, if you
have any news or other items you think would be a good addition to
the site, feel free to share.
In
the past month or two, here have been two new releases of Julian's
films (just on DVD at this point, so keep an eye out for VHS releases
in the near future), Phantom of the Opera
and Loss of Sexual Innocence. I'll be working
on reviews and such for the two films in the near future.
Missed some of the previous updates and news? I've archived the previous notations for your edification....
