Since October 1996, and even before that, Richasi's Domain has enjoyed an interesting and rich history. From growing out of a small, remote Bulletin Board System (BBS) in an equally small city to a massive vessel dedicated to my every whim, Richasi's Domain has always been my leanto. It's not much... it never has been... but it's been quietly growing, changing, and rebranding itself through these many years. It once was a harbor for a Star Trek collectibles database, or for various Lion King services (like the LionKing Ring, and other such needs), but today it's tailored to showcase things about me, rather than the things I like. Oh, sure, there are certain exceptions to that... but today's Richasi's Domain is different... perhaps more mature? Regardless, I welcome you.

2004

06/29/04: The New Richasi's Domain goes online. Gone are the "portals" as they
		were once known and the "world" image map that has been dominant
		for the past two to three years. Today is a much simpler design
		with five selections -- Grand Chapiteau, Snapshots, Chronicles,
		SpaceLink and Ancillaries. For now, Grand Chapiteau (my Cirque
		du Soleil site) and SpaceLink (pages dedicated to SpaceCamp) are
		fully online. Snapshots is currently being uploaded and may be
		in a state of disarray for the next couple of days. Chronicles,
		which will take the place of "Richasi's Storyboard" will follow
		shortly.

06/30/04: I added the old "Pics of Me" page from the "G Spot" back to Richasi's
		Domain. It's easy to find... just click me! ;) ALSO, Snapshots was
		briefly updated. The Adult Space Academy, Part 1 set of pictures
		still had photo info stats on it, so I removed them.

07/04/04: Snapshots: I uploaded four new directories -- 09.01.01 (WDW
		Contemporary), 03.08.02 (WDW AK Lodge), 12.19.02 (WDW Riverside),
		and 04.10.04 (Las Vegas 2004).

07/05/04: Snapshots: Uploaded yet another set of photos, this time
		it's the 10.30.02 (Tennessee / Smokies) set. Enjoy!

07/29/04: Snapshots: Uploaded new set of photos from my recent
		trip to Tennessee -- 07.21.04 (Tennessee / Smokies) set.
	  Domain: Uploaded two new (older) pictures of me from my trip
		to Europe in 2003. Click on me to see 'em!

10/03/04: Snapshots: Uploaded all Japanese trip photos!


2005

09/01/05: Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Completed upgrade of site to
		Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

11/06/05: Snapshots: New Album added (2005) and uploaded three new
		directories -- 04.23.05 (CirqueCon 2005: Montreal), 06.13.05
		(Disney & Nicole), and 07.09.05 (Huntsville/USSRC).

	  Chronicles: New Section Online. Chronicles takes the place of
		the old "Richasi's Storyboard" site that once existed. For now
		only two titles are available: "The Pride" and "Passages: Images
		of the Pridelands"; both are Lion King related fan fiction.
		Documents are in Adobe PDF format only, and are compatible with
		Acrobat v5.0 and higher.

07/08/07: Continued re-vamp of "Snapshots" by adding second menu bar and fine-
		tuned the CSS.

07/09/07: A new version of "SpaceLink" went online this evening, that features 
		the same navigation and design as the new "Snapshots" that went 
		online on 6/21/07. As of this date, PDF versions of USSRC Musuem 
		Guides (1988, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1997 and 2004), Space Camp News 
		Issues (all 10 I have) and the 1988 Application Book went up. More 
		to follow.

07/11/07: SpaceLink: While I did get the 1989 and 1991 Camp application 
		guides together, I haven't had the time to PDF them, but they will 
		be up shortly. In the meantime, enjoy new "seeable" thumbs for the 
		Camp Newsletters and some other minute visual changes.

07/13/07: SpaceLink: I added the PDF documents for the 1989 and 1991 
		Application guides, as well as, 10 patch scans from the old site.

07/29/07: SpaceLink: I added the PDF documents for the 2004, 	2005 Youth 
		& Group, 2006 and 2007 Application books, as well as, the image 
		for the 1992 application book.

10/22/07: Snapshots: I re-arranged the Featured Destinations part of the 
		page to remove the Space Academy 2003 section (I removed 150pix, 
		re-tooled the rest to help save space. 150pix remain) and moved it 
		to the	Amazing Journeys area. I placed the headers in for the 
		Japan 2007 trip, which will come along soon. I also collapsed the 
		two pages into one of the Gatlingburg, TN 2004 trip.

10/23/07: Snapshots: The ASA2003 removal saved approximately 35.6MB of
		disk space, so I re-did the Las Vegas 2004 set, removing 53pix
		leaving 134 freeing up approximately 16.0MB of disk space.

		Why am I removing pictures? First there's a lot of redundancy in
		some of the pictures out there. For example, there's 10 pictures
		of the same thing. 10 isn't needed when only 2 will do. So I 
		remove those 8 and free up space for future albums. And as I
		re-visit places, such as Las Vegas, New York City, etc., I tend
		to take the same pictures again (or similar); therefore, to keep
		a healthy variety I review and pull ones I don't need to showcase
		anymore!

12/04/07: Snapshots: Added two new albums:
		07.11.11 -- New York City - 95pix / 35.7MB
		07.12.01 -- San Francisco - 60pix / 26.4MB

12/05/07: Snapshots: Added one new album:
		07.10.07 -- Washington DC - 294pix / 120.0MB

12/06/07: Snapshots: Added some Japan 2007 pictures. Due to the fact
		these pictures are numerous in quanity, I have reduced their 
		file size to get them all on. Instead of 1416x1064, I have
		downsized them to 708x532. The following albums are now 
		available:
			-- Tokyo Environs - 70pix / 9.46MB
			-- Kamakura - 125pix / 18.6MB
			-- Nikko - 125pix / 19.6MB
			-- Miyajima & Hirojima - 136pix / 18.1MB

12/08/07: Snapshots: Added two more Japan 2007 albums:
		-- Tokyo DisneySea - 109pix / 15.4MB
		-- Himeji & Osaka - 75pix / 9.56MB

12/09/07: Snapshots: Uploaded 3 of the last Japan 2007 albums:
		-- Kyoto, Day 1 - 75pix / 16.0MB
		-- Kyoto, Day 2 - 121pix / 18.9MB
		-- Kyoto, Day 3 - 108pix / 16.5MB

12/10/07: Chronicles: I revamped the design of the page (from black to
		white background) to match the others ("Snapshots" and
		"SpaceLink"). More to come in 2008 as I prep the texts for 
		their online return. 
	   Fascination!: Updated Wordpress from v1.3 to v2.6.
	   Main Page: Changed the color of the menu bar text from
		Silver to Gold, and updated the navigation display slightly.

12/13/07: Snapshots:: Downsized three albums to help conserve
		space. By reducing the picture size on just these three
		albums alone I have saved 95.85MB of server space that can
		and will be used for future albums. The three I reduced are:
			-- 07.10.07 -- Washington DC - 294pix / 60.2.0MB
		 	-- 07.11.11 -- New York City - 95pix / 18.0MB
			-- 07.12.01 -- San Francisco - 60pix / 8.05MB

	   entries or articles based on my personal adventures. This
	   one continues the Cirque Theme from "Le Grand Tour" and
	   chronices some other adventures had on behest of Cirque
	   du Soleil shows. At this time there are five articles, as
	   follows:

		* "Scream. Run. Invent." - Alegria at Beau Rivage
		* "Cirque at the Masters" - A La Nouba Q&A
	    	* "We're Off and Running" - Inagural CirqueCon

		with the two of us together. Created the icons to go
		with them.
