- The main reason is, unfortunately, work. I work at Intel as a Sr. Process Engineer in PTD. What does that mean? Well, right now we're putting the finishing touches on a brand new manufacturing process, and I was transferred (in late November/early December) to a more "challenging" module. This past weekend was the first weekend I didn't have to go to work in over a month (and Saturday was nice and sunny out...).
- The second reason is a lack of submissions (and the fact I haven't finished up any kits of my own that would fit on the page). I have two minor additions just about ready to add, but that's really been it for the last four-five months. I have some new books, and will probably break down and scan a couple of images out of those. I don't, however, want to use too many images from books on the site.
The bottom line is I need more time and material, and it is a lot easier to make the time if I have submissions from the readership to add to the page. If it's unusual and German, send me a photo or a scanned image. Got a picture of an Elefant, Ferdinand, Jagdtiger, Porsche-suspensioned Jagdtiger? Any of the self-propelled gun modifications of other chassis work as well. If you want to write an article to add, go for it. I my opinion, some of the strongest features on the site have not been written by me.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled web-browsing. December 2, 1998
October 20, 1998 I've run into a major snag... check out the Message Center
for more details...
October 7, 1998 Yep, you guessed it... I'm still digging out. Long hours at
work are not condusive to web-page updates. Lots of stuff in the queue though! September 23, 1998 I've got about three more vehicles to add, wanted to get
them all done tonight, but ran out of time... September 3, 1998 September 2, 1998 August 22, 1998 August 21, 1998 The pictures I'd taken to add to the page came out too dark to use. I've
retaken the pictures and hope to have them ready to add to the page next week.

The old site on GeoCities will remain until the middle of July or so
(to give enough people time to catch the forwarding address), but it
will not be updated. June 20, 1998
Because of the new "Watermark" policy of GeoCities (and as it is
only the latest in a long series of invasive advertising techniquies
attempted by GeoCities), the page has now been moved here to tripod.
All 190+ files were moved intact, and the subdirectory structure of
the original page was recreated without any problems. The only unfortunate
side-effect is that the counter (which was at 12,500+) cannot be set to
its former level. Thank you for your continued support of Technical
Virtue. Stay tuned this week, as I plan on adding at least four more
vehicles in a new section. June 14, 1998 June 9, 1998 May 24, 1998
image has returned. The old version had a
white (rather than transparent) background. The new one has a transparent background (oh the wonders
of shareware!).
