The most pukeworthy form of flattery nowadays is finding your name on one of those whachamacallem flypaper keyword lists, right between "teens awaiting" and "totally free"... I've so far seen two cases. (Yes, I'm vain enough to google my name once or twice a year, in case people snicker a lot behind my back and I can't figure out why. Although actually I use Altavista.)
If this isn't enough to make your head swell, I can't imagine what would be. No Jay jokes intended or solicited.
As for the groupies issue, watch our Eurovision song contest contribution this year. I'll be the two-headed cockroach at the bass.

When I google my name, I get football players, hockey players, a few convicts and my own models.
Also some woman's blog talking about how I'm such a dick for sleeping around....it's not even me! I should get to bang/dump her just for defamation of character...a man should only be slandered for things he actually did.
Crappy common name- I'm changing it to Hans.
Hans Olo.

Thread necrophilia here, but my admiration is still strong for this work. On a whim, I d/l'd from Sol System's post on page 5 and saw that the file had been updated in November of 2006.
I've already printed out the whole work previously posted back in March into 4 tape-bound books (written by "Prof. Timo Saloniemi, Star Fleet Academy"). Where the captions for the pictures are, I created standardized boxes, though there is, of course, no picture in them. With a few hours of layout work and then the process of binding (about US$3.00 each), all 4 volume looks excellent. They take up a prominent position on my 'personal canon' Star Trek shelf.
I'm going to printout the changes and do a page-by-page comparison, but I suspect I'll be reprinting my work, to bring it up to date. Just wanted to say how great it is, wish it could see a real printer and hope to see more great works from you.
Request: when you do update the stuff, can you continue to indicate so in this thread, and list what was changed?
-There's the Cahuya class from Star Station Aurora ship-recognition poster.
-The Horizon class is revamped, now encompassing the Spaceflight Chronology battle cruiser Advance plus a few other odds and ends in the 1000 and 1300 registry ranges.
-The Apache (NCC-3190) also from that old Aurora poster becomes the design for some of those "missing cruisers" that the Ships of the Star Fleet tables list in huge numbers. Alliterative subclasses include Albion (a way to bunch up a number of British starship names in the novels) and Ashanti.
-I sorted out the Oberths and Garneaus in terms of subclasses and registries (that was fun!), but little of it probably shows in the text.
-The Constellation entry tries to accommodate Diane Duane's twists from The Bloodwing Voyages.
-The "Galaxy class" cruisers from ST2/3 novelizations become the Draco class.
Also, random stuff in the second and third parts, mainly ENT-inspired older small craft.
Part 1a (to the end of TOS) still contains some double-??s but Part 1b is mostly done till I get some radically new inspiration. And Part 3 remains only halfway done, although I like to think about new angles on the shuttlecraft.

Aargh... I knew I'd forgotten something. Okay, updates coming by the end of the week.
Any suggestions where I should put them? The individual files are well over the 1 MB limit of FlareUpLoad, and I'm disinterested in chopping them down further. So... Any favorite services?

...RapidShare it is. An unfortunate development, though: I've finally managed to lose a memory stick for good. Too bad it contained updates on the Guide that aren't backed up anywhere... A learning experience, I guess.
It will probably take me the whole week to recover from the loss of work-related files - I'm inches away from suicide right now, seriously. But next week I'll put together the Guide updates again. I hope.
