added a pervasive link to my new website,

more))

6 May 2010
after thirty-eight months in which Fweet had been hosted on
the web servers of Hostpapa, it has now moved to those of VPSville,
a move which promises to offer a significantly faster (and more
stable) performance of the search engine, hopefully
20 May 2010
added one shorthand to the "Clusters" brevity on the
search engine page: (units of
measure)

13 Aug 2010
After four years and ten months in which I maintained a steady pace
– weekly and then fortnightly – of adding new features
to the site, I have reached my fill and have decided to direct my
meagre efforts elsewhere. Fweet will of course remain online
and I will continue to slowly update its database with new
elucidations from contributors (and perhaps also from time to time
from books and articles I read), but from now on new features will
be added only in a sporadic and sparse manner. I trust that even
without them Fweet is mature enough to be of use to all for
many years to come.
17 Sep 2010
the site is five years old (according to the Jewish calendar)
12 Oct 2010
the site is five years old (according to the Gregorian calendar),
with over 351,000 searches run
26 Nov 2010
changed the website's default font (the effect will not be apparent
to many users)

added one shorthand to the "Books" brevity on the
search engine page: (Thom's Directory of
Ireland/Dublin, Howth section)
24 Dec 2010
added "The Finnegans Wake Notebooks at Buffalo: Notebook VI.B.47"
to the bibliography page
added the "VI.B.47" shorthand to the "Notebooks" brevity on the
search engine page
changed the sizes of the two pervasive purple buttons that appear
on every page to make them less intrusive on smaller screens (e.g.
cellular phones)
in a futile attempt to minimise incoming spam mail, I have changed
all the email addresses of the Fweet website — all
addresses previously bearing the number 02 (e.g. comments02) now
bear the number 03; as always, I can also be contacted through the
"Comment on Me!!" facility
