Release Notes in software applications are notes left by the developers to tell the users what has changed. Keeping in that tradition, here is a walk through history on the various changes I've made over the past months/years

Hi anna, this is a new note..

Friday, April 02, 2004
THREE YEARS!!! No friggin way...Eh times flies when you're having fun. Fortunately I designed this site so well, the content is still fresh (add new images today for the first time in probably over a year)

Does anyone ever come to this site anymore??? If so, please send me an email. Just a little informal survey. I've been considering taking the site down or expanding it. What would you like to see?

Friday, June 22, 2001
Okay, thanks to Tracy I now have 753 pics! Well on our way, albeit slowly to the 1000 pics of Dirk.

Also, a little bird told me this morning (aka The Rev) That this weeks National Enquirer has an article on old Blue Eyes. Picked it up and it's true. I hope to get a scan and have it up on my site by the end of the weekend. So pick up this week's copy when you get groceries this weekend (second to last page if you want to read it in line while checking out).

or if you're too chicken....Click here for a scan of the article.

I also have a favor to ask....what would you like to see on my site (besides naked pics of Dirk). I'm trying to improve it, but the poor site while suffering from severe neglect over the past few months is suffering from critical mass, meaning I don't think there's much more I can do to the site other than add more pics (can't go wrong there right?) If you have any suggestions on how to improve my site, either with new features or fixing the old ones please please email me off the list I'd love to hear from you guys.

Anyhoo.. Enjoy the weather...Summer is finally here!!

Tuesday, May 15, 2001
Holy procrastination Batman! Well better late than never, I've been spending my time crawling the web trying to bring you more and more pics of Dirk for the 1000 pics of Dirk project. Okay, actually my friends are (the ones that ~are~ real) so a big thank you to all of them.

Another friend of mine has been busy finding webcams across Montana. Hey we all need a hobby right? Check them out < Click here >, especially Old Faithful! Very impressive.

I have't put a link up anywhere else on the site (no it's not a test to see who's reading this, but thank you just the same) but for a review of how Cahoots did at Taos and a few pics (oh btw, they're in the gallery too). Click Here to go to Dirk Benedict Central.

Well folks, that's about it. I hope to be a little more attentive to the site (yeah right, summer's coming so I make no promises). Truth of the matter is I haven't been very inspired working on my site, so if anyone has ANY suggestions please please email me. Don't make do a survey, people!! Cause you know I'll do it!

Monday, April 16, 2001
Hope you all got your taxes done. I apologize for not making alot of changes to the site.

First I want everyone!! Everyone yes you!! To visit the newest Dirk site on the block, Dirk Benedict Central. Keep watching this site, not only because it's the sister site to this one but because great things are coming GREAT THINGS!

More pics in the gallery and big big big thank you to Tracy, gellee and other anonymous people who have sent me pictures or left them out for me to borrow them.

If anyone has some great ideas on how I can improve my site I'm all eyes..

Ciao for now

Friday, March 30, 2001
More and more pics!! Still working on that 1000 pics of Dirk project of mine. Contributions are always greatly welcomed. A big thank you goes to Tracy B who's over there slaving away at the DBIFC website putting up some really cool dedication pages for old blue eyes. She's been doing a great job over here, so be sure to stop by when you're done here (http://www.dirkbenedictcentral.com).

Sorry I've been so slow in getting the site updated. Been busy with my pseudo-real life. I've also been having a bout of "coding block" If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the site, what you like to see, etc. Please email me suggestions@millady.com.

Peace!

Saturday, March 24, 2001
Sorry, I haven't been paying too much attention, but hey, atleast I'm not like Dirk and not update my site in months...okay enough said.

The contest is still going (yes I do own a calendar). Hopefully soon I'll have the voting booths set up so you all can vote for the one person who really is Dirk's no 1 stalker.

Added some more pics thanks to Rita, and check out the library for Dirk's interview with the Battlestar Fan club.

Friday, March 02, 2001
Due to circumstances beyond my control since I haven't been able to finish the voting pages for the contest I'm just going to extend the contest for a few more weeks. Also, this is good because TracyB, the El President in Charge of the DBIFC and yours truly have created a join page http://dirkbenedict.fanpageguide.com.

Also more pics (big thank you jips Dwight site) and the lovely ladies over at the Virtual Asylum and ATeamZine.

Night all...

Enjoy!

Wednesday, February 07, 2001

Happy New Year!!!

If you've been visiting you've noticed a few new pics up on the site (thanks to Tracyb and ebay)

Also hoping it will help you browse the thumbnail pages easier I've added page numbers at the top.

Got a few surprises in the works and some great news is coming but I can't talk about it right now!! So hush hush it's a secret!!

Saturday, December 30, 2000
Doing a happy dance!! 400 pics by the end of the year!! (actually 406 to be precise!)

Happy New Year everybody!!

Saturday, December 23, 2000
Merry Christmas!!! Be sure to check out our version of a Dirkafied Christmas, and read Dirk's Holiday message to his fans.

As a little present, I created a search engine to search for the articles in the library you want. Just put in some keywords and watch just the articles you want to come up.

Finally, some little Dirk addicted elves found me some more pictures. While some people were betting I'd make 400 by Christmas. Sorry, you all loose, I don't think I'm even going to make it by the years end. S'okay, can make it one of my New Year's resolution for 2001.

This is probably my last update for the rest of the year (unless I get my 400 pics) But it's been an incredible year with this site and I hope with your help we can make this site even better for 2001.

Happy Holidays!!!
Millady (and Doc Holliday)

Monday, December 18, 2000
I've been stealthly fixing and updating my site so I can bring you what I hope will be some cool features in the future. "Features in the future" - say that 10 times fast.

Dirk sent a holiday message to his fans on the Dirk Benedict mailing list. If you haven't you should join it's on egroups!

Updated the Parade of Websites to start including Dirk related sites and friends of Dirk. So if you have a site, please email me the URL I'd be very happy to include it.

Still searching for more pics, along with a bunch of other people. Be sure to check out some of the comments. It appears even I am not immune to the infamous Ray's sense of humor. As one famous character once said, "I love it when a plan comes together." Hmm..Gee...wonder who said that?

Only 6 more shopping days till Christmas!! Hope you all have atleast started!!


Thursday, December 14, 2000
347 pics now...was cleaning out my harddrive and found some I must've forgotten to put up. If you happen to be doing the same, all contributions are welcomed as always.

Only a few more shopping days till Christmas.....(why did I have to remind myself of that?!)

Friday, December 08, 2000
Well I don't know about you guys, but 300+ pics is a lot of pics, so in order to help you find your most favorite pic, you can now browse by his work. The biggest newlywed style kiss goes to my little helper - Tracyb144 (aka Starchick) for helping me categorize the pics.

Sunday, December 03, 2000
Thanks to my buddy Dave in Montana, he took a 360 view of Bigfork complete with snow and christmas ornaments. I do believe it's beginning to look alot like Christmas!!

Still working on the goal fo 300 pics by the end of the year, so if you have some hidden in the recesses of your harddrive, I am taking donations!

Well gotta go write Santa ....

Admendment - Through some gracious contributions I made 300 pics (303 to be exact).

Friday, December 01, 2000
More and more pics thanks to Jipster. Thanks to her generous contributions I may make my goal of 300 pics by the end of the year. All contributions will be accepted so if you have a favorite pic, I don't have please send it to me and I'll be happy to put it up!!

Also the DBIFC has a message board to leave Dirk and the boys a holiday message.

Enjoy!!

Wednesday, November 29, 2000
WooHoo!! We reached my goal of 250 pics, actually we made it to 251. Big thanks to Jipster!!

The busy Dirkette elves have been working on Christmas Carols. Give them a visit and a sing!!

Happy holiday shopping!!

Sunday, November 19, 2000
Happy Holidays. Okay okay, so we haven't even got to Thanksgiving yet. Hey, if Kmart can start in September with their Christmas stuff, I figure I can do it today (while I have the time).

In the holiday season, some fellow addicts (me included) wrote some Christmas Carols that have been Dirkified. It's all done tongue and cheek. If you want to do one, you got some time between your christmas shopping so drop me an email with your carol and I'd be happy to put it up.

Yes, the little boy at the top right corner is Dirk at age six. That pic comes courtesy of the Official Dirk Benedict International Fan Club Newsletter. Hey it's a kid's holiday...

Okay, well I need to figure out how I'm going to have a Vegan thanksgiving with a family of carnivores! Ciao!

Saturday, November 18, 2000
Boy my little site gets alot of traffic from all over the world, it's actually rather exciting. When I first built the site, I didn't think anyone would come.

I've updated the library with some articles you won't find anywhere! I swear..a little Appreciation Society Exclusive. Back in the 80's Dirk used to have an International Fan Club and once a year they published these really cool newsletters. Oh those were the days. I reprinted a few of the articles, and there is so much more and hopefully over time I'll get more up for you guys.

Also if you've never been to the Anonymous Club story section, there is a very funny story by "me". Check it out, and bring lots of tissues cause you're going to need them.

Plus there are some new pics in the gallery, some right from these newsletters. Enjoy!!

Thursday, November 16, 2000
A Website by any other name is still a website. I don't know about you guys, but I got tired of typing 'dirkbenedictanonymous.org', so the site has yet another domain name change - http://www.dbanonymous.org. (don't worry, the other one will still work so you don't have to change your bookmarks, unless you want).

Lots of activity on the story/message boards, give them a read.

Sunday, November 12, 2000
Got some better pics and updated premiere section. Big thanks to Rita Dyan for her review and pics.

Also added the pics to the gallery so have fun guys!!

Wednesday, November 08, 2000
Saw the premiere of Cahoots...fabulous movie, can't say enough good things about it. Check it out!

Saturday, November 04, 2000
I added yet another new section in honor of Dirk's movie - Cahoots. I hope to be able to expand it with the some help from from friends and hopefully the Production Company. The premiere for the movie is this Tuesday, Nov. 7th. Hopefully I'll be able to get some good reports from the movie goes.

Oh yeah, there are more pics in the gallery....(big surprise huh??)

Friday, November 03, 2000
Okay, you busy surfers. Was looking through my logs and realized that it would be really neat if I had a top 10 of the popular pictures. So voila - The 10 most popular pics.

Remember without your visits, this section wouldn't be possible...so this is my little way of saying thanks!!

Wednesday, November 01, 2000
Happy Belated Halloween!!! Okay, a new section (just cranking them out). Now you can visit Dirk's Home Town Bigfork, Montana!!

Wednesday, October 25, 2000
Evening all!! Okay got a new section up - Quotes. Add your favorite Starbuck, Faceman or Dirk quote, or sit back and read and get a laugh.

Got a few surprises in the words for you all, so be sure to stick around and come back frequently. Meanwhile I"m off to Arizona for a wedding - always the bridesmaid, but never the bride - THANK GOD!!

Monday, October 23, 2000
Thank you to Silverstarbuck helping me reach my goal with some more pics. We are up to 215 pics....Enjoy!!

Wednesday, October 18, 2000
First, a big thank you to the good samaratan who told Ray and Jay to come back. Your absence was greatly noticed. Everyone looks forward to seeing what you'll say next.

Speaking of which, lots of new pics. 206 is the total with a big thank you to Silverstarbuck, Starchick (aka Tracyb144) and Persefone78 for helping me reach my goal of 200 pics. Okay ladies, the goal is 250, start looking!!!!
Also, add a couple new articles to the Library.

I"m off to go camping in the mountains with my new 4runner. My first outing That's me in the silver truck in Gorman, CA. Enjoy and I am outta here!!

Wednesday, October 11, 2000
Thanks to the generous contributions of friends the total is 184 as of this morning. Plus Ray and Jay have been back and in full force with their witty comments.

I would love it if Ray or Jay would write me!! I'd love to thank them and just talk to them...they are hysterical!

Enjoy the pics.....Peace!!

Tuesday, October 03, 2000
I told a friend my secret goal was to have 200 pics of dirk by the end of the year. So my friend went out and found a bunch. The official total is 155 pics in the gallery. So if you're wondering why it takes to blessed long to go through the tour, now you know.

So a big dating game style kiss to Starchick for her scrounging skills and helping me reach my goal, which is looking like the end of the month, instead of end of the year.

Enjoy the pics.....Peace!!

Sunday, September 24, 2000
These are turning into weekly updates.

First a little note of explanation for those looking for the "Parade of Websites". Something unforseen happened, some loyal fans of another site came in and messed with the numbers. I guess they didn't quite undestand this wasn't a contest it was more to provide positive criticism and comments. While I don't have a problem with them saying awful things about this site and messing with it's numbers, I did have a problem with the fact they marked some of the sites low. It's not fair to them, there are a lot of great sites out there honoring Dirk Benedict and we all work very hard on our sites. So I took it down to be reengineered and to be thought about some more.

If you care to talk about it please email me at webmaster@millady.com

On a happier note, I've created our verson of internet postcards. So now you can send a postcard from any picture in our gallery, also you have the option of choosing one of the very funny captions you all have left. (Oh if someone knows who Ray, Jay or RayJay is tell them to come back! I miss their comments).

Also, I've added a few more behind the scene features, such as the site will remember who you are if you post a review or leave a comment in the Management Office, or share your story with us. Come people I know you have a story to tell. This site more than just pictures, it's a sounding board for all of you. Let's start making some noise.

I've expanded the Macrobiotic section. If you have any links that I don't have please email them to me, I'd be happy to put them up. Hopefully (time permitting of course) I will automate that so you can just submit your link.

Finally, I just wanted to say that this site is for all of us fans. I hope I've made it fun and interesting for you guys. If there is anything you like to see, or got some ideas on how to improve a section I'm more than willing to listen. I want to make this a site we all can enjoy and be entertained by. If you can't have fun while doing something, it's just not worth doing!

Peace!!

Saturday, September 16, 2000
It wouldn't be the weekend if I didn't add something new this rapidly growing website. And now, for your entertainment (and hopefully educational delights) the Dirk Appreciation Society is proud to present the {add reverb here} Parade of Websites. Something I've been wanting
to add for a while now. Give the web community to (A) find out about more websites honoring Dirk; and (b) Give the users to voice their opinions about other sites. No one is spared, but all the comments are totally anonymous.

Wednesday, September 13, 2000
Small update tonight, just 1 pic in the gallery. There's are some new articles in the library.PLUS I have launched the Dirk Benedict Online Refrigerator Magnet Game. (Sorry netscape users it only works in IE right now...hey it's B-E-T-A!!)

Tuesday, September 12, 2000
Hope you all are updating your bookmarks!!

A big dating game style kiss to Terri for letting me put her everyone's favorite pic - Dirk by the pool. Also for letting me use her pics from a convention (I'll get back to you on the dates).

Also a thanks to the people over at www.cahootsproductions.com for the most recent pics of Dirk. Rumor has it the film will be done by 10/3/00. ***golf clap to Dirk*** for completing his production.

Saturday, September 09, 2000
Well first there's a new web address, so be sure to update your bookmarks!!!!

I also put up a few more pics, courtesy of Michelle's Unoffical Dirk Benedict Site. Also, I've made some changes to the thumbnail page. Now you can view the pics of Dirk by decade. To be completely honest I guessed at some of the decades the pics should be in, so if you know one that's wrong, get the pic no and email me and tell me what decade it should be in.

I've also made some technical changes that won't affect your viewing pleasure at all, but in a nutshell they will help me update the site a little faster - I hope.

Also, I've added a few links that were found on www.millady.com. These links I felt were very relevant to Dirk, such as macrobiotics.

That's about it, just remember to update your bookmarks and look for updates in the future. Now back to the ATeam Marathon on TVLand....

Wednesday, September 06, 2000
Just a short update tonight...more pics...check out the gallery ..need I say more?

Friday, September 01, 2000
As usual, more pics...check out the gallery ..need I say more?

Also in the Article Library, there's a link to Dirk's transcript from Sciography.

You can also meet one of Dirk's Furriest Fan's - my cat Doc Holliday. Yes that's his name and he's got taste.

Also added is a 12 step program of Dirk Benedict to help you addicts with the day to living of life.

I also launched the Beta version of reviews. You can leave a few of dirk's work, tell us what you like, warn us about what is bad or just leave your thoughts.

Finally, another thanks to one of my visitors - Jay. I just have to say (and I hope you read this). I love, love your captions in the photo galley!! Thanks for the laugh!!

Monday, August 28, 2000
Let's just get this out of the way...more pics...check out the gallery ..need I say more?

Also in the Article Library, there's a link to Richard Hatch's site where you can read his comments on the recent Sci Fi Channel Sciography special and Dirk's comments about him.

Finally, a thanks to one of my visitors - Ray. I just have to say (and I hope you read this). I love, love your captions in the photo galley!! Thanks for the laugh!!

Sunday, August 27, 2000
Where is this month going?? Just a quick note before I dash off to the beach to go biking, added a couple more pics in the gallery

Still working on the new sections...things are going a little slow...the weather is nice and well....oh come on you'd go out and play too instead of working on a website. Ciao for now.

Tuesday, August 22, 2000
Wow, two days in a row...hope this doesn't become a habit. The search continues for the perfect Dirk pic, here are two more entries in the gallery (thanks again to Paxiljunki).

Plus a little heads up, some new exciting features will be coming too such as rate Dirk's works. Don't ask me how, Pax and I just thought of it! If you have anything you think you would like to see just pop me an email and I'll see what I can do!

Monday, August 21, 2000
Should running a website be this much work?? Just a quick note....there are new pics in the gallery thanks again to Paxiljunki. The search for the perfect Dirk pic continues...

Thursday, August 17, 2000
Okay so I'm not updating the site as much as I'd like (but even I get a life sometimes). So let's get started....

The Dirk Benedict Anonymous Club is now the Dirk Benedict Anonymous Club and Appreciation Society. Plus it's now a member of the Dirk Benedict Web Ring.

The reason for the name change is that yes all the addicts out there need an Anonymous Club but that had such a negative ring to it, so to give it some positive (ying and yang) I've added the Appreciation Society. After all we do appreciate the joy he brings to our lives.

It was brought to my attention that I had a very disorganized site. Okay that's one person's opinion but for every 1 person there are 10 more behind them. So in the spirit of organization (and a suggestion made to me by a friend) I've added a thumbnail view of the gallery. So you can see all your favorite Dirk pics. Don't forget to leave a caption, alot of people have been leaving them and some are quite amusing so leave one and join in the fun! Also there are some new pics there as well (big thank you to Silverstar and Paxiljunki for their generous contributions).

A major change is that the Anonymous Club adopted a mascot (a big dating game style kiss to Paxiljunki for her art skills in tailoring the mascot for the site).

So that's about it....the creative gallery needs contributions so let's get going people, I know you're all creative!!! Plus leave a story for your other addicts of if you really want to be anonymous I mean after all it is an anonymous club, you can leave your message ...anonymously!!

So remember eat more grains, chew your rice, wear your sunscreen and just sit back and relax.

Wednesday, August 02, 2000
Dirk Benedict Anonymous Club has some new pics, so check out the photo gallery and add a caption. Special thanks to Silverstar who has scoured the web far and wide to bring them to me.

Dirk Benedict Appreciation Society Creative Gallery, where fans of Dirk's have expressed their love and appreciation for Dirk through creative works. Submissions are always welcome.

New questions have been added to the Dirk Benedict Trivia test, so test your knowledge!
