January 22 I'm posting something new today... a series of 2-D tokens in the Star Wars Fleet Battles page. "More boring 2-D tokens," you ask? Well, not quite - these tokens are actually two pieces that slide into each other so you can keep track of how many fighters are left in a squadron. You may also notice a splash of color on the home page. I was getting so sick and tired of the old doodle that I had to do something to replace it. I'm not really happy with the current version either, but at least I have shoes on this time. |

December 31 I added some 3-D Treadwell droids to the Star Wars character scale page. |

December 25 I found out that the host for my primary site (the one that goes down every month like clockwork because I keep blowing my monthly bandwidth) has a redirect tool, allowing me to temporarily send people over to my mirror site. YAY - if I can just remember to turn that on whenever I start reaching my quota limit, and then turn it off at the beginning of each month, then you guys won't have to bookmark 2 different URLs! That other model I promised last week (well, week and a half) is up - you can find it in the 3-D Star Wars character-scale section. I also moved the new models to the top of the page, so you can just ignore the old ones at the bottom. Finally, a bunch of broken links on that page were corrected, so they should all be working now. |

December 15 Ho, Ho, Ho, and all that. I have 2 new models done... but I'm only posting one of them. The other one requires a piece to be printed onto a transparancy, and those things are getting REALLY hard to find these days. I tried to have it printed at the local office supply store, but they were having problems with their machine (or the person operating it... I'm not sure which). Anyway, the model that I am posting is a newer version of the Power Droid, and you can find it in the Star Wars Character-scale section. The old Power Droid model from 2004 has been removed... let us never again speak of it. |

November 19 Holy moly - I blew through my monthly bandwidth before even half the month was over. Either you guys REALLY like Robotech minis, or else I seriously underestimated the impact of the new site design (it's prettier, but not as efficient). I'll have to figure something out - I'm posting this, and most of you won't even be able to see it until December. For those of you who are getting frustrated with www.momirfarooq.com constantly going down, I do have a mirror at http://momirfarooq.webng.com. It runs a bit slower, but in some ways it's more reliable. For my birthday, Tracy took me to Fantasy of Flight (I HIGHLY recommend checking them out, if you're in the Tampa / Orlando region) to fly an old War War II bi-plane trainer. They take you up, show you how to fly, hand you the stick, and then they take you back down after you've had your fun. It was great... and VERY different from playing a flight sim! I've got some updates for you on the Star Wars Character-scale site:

November 4 Go to the Robotech page to download a Spartan destroid! I also fixed a bunch of typos in the World of Darkness material. October 10 I added an alternative Morality / Humanity chart to the World of Darkness page. It's something I've been kicking around for a while now, but I finally decided to post it. August 31 FINALLY! The Veritech Battleoid model is done. You can download it from the Robotech page. August 31 Surprise! I finally got around to giving the site a make-over. While the navigation remains more-or-less the same, the directory structure has been completely re-organized (meaning you'll probably have to replace any old links that you may have to files or images). If you use Firefox or IE 8, the navigational buttons should remain in a fixed position while you scroll the page. IE 6 will see the buttons move with the page, but that's not such a bad thing. The old galleries (custom miniatures, pictures of games, etc) are gone, as is the Star Wars soundboard. I may or may not put them back up... I haven't quite decided yet. Also, the starship models have been divided into 2 sections - a page for Starfighters & light transports, and one for capital ships. This may annoy some diehard SSB players out there (uh... are there any diehard SSB players?), but I think it makes a lot of sense. June 25 We're all settled in our new place. Overall, I like it better than the last apartment. It's smaller, but it's so much cooler with fewer windows and a lower ceiling. The neighborhood is also so much quieter, and it's really nice to be able to drive to work in less than 10 minutes. I've loaded the Veritech fighter model. The battleoid is about half-way done, and I also have an Alpha fighter and a Star Wars Nu Shuttle that are very near completion, so hopefully those will go soon. "Soon", of course, is a relative term - I reloaded Morrowind on my computer, and I'm finding that it's an incredible time-sink. |
