JG-L News-2008-June-A

Although I do this for fun, I'd like to request your assistance with the costs of keeping the site on-line. Bandwidth use is well over 600 GIGabytes a month and it ain't cheap here in The Great White North. Anything you can spare will help to keep the site humming along.

SERVICE NOTE: Please accept my apologies for the lack of updates during the period of 10th, May to 10th July, 2009. As you must be aware by now, my computers, then this site, got a very bad virus infection and so I didn't do any uploading until everything was clean and safe.

Doing so has cost me well in excess of $1,600.00 USD by the time all was said and done. This kind of expenditure on what is basically a hobby site, and free to all visitors, CANNOT be sustained by me alone. I ask you, please, to consider what you're getting for nothing and help me to cover these costs by contacting me at: JC-Green@Telus.Net or sending a cheque or postal money order to: JC GREEN, PO Box 2013, Point Roberts, WA, USA 98281-2013. I hope to be able to offer easier options again soon, as well as an explanation as to why this Donation Request has had to be changed.

Thanks all for your patience, and in advance, for your assistance to cover the costs incurred.

(I GENERALLY DO AN UPDATE EVERY 7 TO 10 DAYS, WITH ROTATING PAGES FROM DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE SITE, GETTING NEW MATERIAL, SO READ THE INTRODUCTION FOR EACH UPDATE, PLEASE. THE SECTION BEING UPDATED IS NORMALLY HOT-LINKED IN THE BLATHERING.)

The data shown below will change normally, about a week to 10 days after the beginning of each month, then be placed in 'Archive' for future reference. The Archive structure will be a month by month basis for each year (12 pages).

Please Note: There is no "INDEX" page per se. Use the month and year pages above and below to review previous updates to this Section.

- 21st June, 2008 -

Yes, yes, I know I've been absent for nearly a month, but the internet connectivity that I'd hoped for, just was not happening and and so I had no choice but to hold off until now. Life's a bitch folks! At least, compared to the trip last year at this time, the site has been on-line, thanks to the very good hosting company I use now. They ain't cheap (hint, hint) but they ARE bloody good.

Anyhow, most of the jet lag has gone and so it's time to titillate you again with some new stuff :-).

First ... it was a great trip to Germany and Tenerife. BONDCON-V was a lot of fun and I got to meet many people there that I've chatted with for years and never met face to face, as well as to renew connections with other old friends. From BondCon, I went to visit LATOWSKI and got fitted for my new chastity belt, then it was off to visit PUPETT and RUBBER'S FINEST in the Dusseldorf area.

I next went to Tenerife for 9 days of R&R and while there, created 14 concept sketches and engineering drawings for my next big project ... a "STORAGE CASE-COFFIN". This device will be a pretty serious piece of work by the time all is said and done, and will take a while to build, but of course, I'll keep you abreast of the progress, starting now with a small article and the above mentioned doodles in JG-L Articles, Page 40. Here's one, just to get you interested :-).

In addition to the article to come on the construction of the Storage Case Coffin, I'll also eventually do one about my experiences in the SC-C ... if I've any semblance of intelligence left after the sessions.

In the future I'll be doing a couple of uploads to the JG-L Travel Pix Section with plenty of images from Germany and Tenerife, so stand by for them.

As per usual, I've placed more eye candy in the ROGUE'S GALLERY, and I hope you'll enjoy the images ... a couple of teasers for you as encouragement to pay it a visit :-).

*******************************

Hello again :-)! I'm back from my trip, having arrived home last night after some 24 hours awake and on air planes, so what few brains I possess are still somewhat scrambled (and probably still over Greenland somewhere, in transit to Vancouver).

What this means to you, is that it'll be a few days before the next full upload goes onto the site, but there'll be a goodly selection of eye candy and some of the usual blathering from me. I'd ask that you be patient for a bit and not write just yet, if you'd planned to.
