1st October 2009: I've added fourteen of my 'Favourite Poems' - with more to follow. Will you enjoy some of them too?
22nd July 2009: I've now included the text of a technical and scientific article about the Choquelimpie gold and silver deposit, that I co-ordinated and co-authored for the same special edtion of 'Economic Geology' mentioned in the previous entry.
I've also started to add items from my 'Red File' - things that amused me, moved me or just made me stop and think. There will be more of these to come.
17th July 2009: I've added the text of an article about A History of Gold in Chile that was published in a special edition of the journal 'Economic Geology' in 1991, devoted to gold deposits in the Chilean Andes. Instead of the original figures, I've added a map and some photos from my own collection.
11th May 2009: I've placed a new item in the Mineralisation section of the site. A Geological Model for the Alluvial Gold Environment was written some years ago and provides quantitative and semi-quantitative parameters of productive gold deposits. A version of it was published in Deposits International Rock & Fossils Magazine, an excellent source of geological infomation and the owner of a business that produces field equipment and geological supplies.
6th May 2009: I've now added photos to all the pages in the My Poems section, to delight the eye (?) while I numb the brain!
26th April 2009: I'm up and running with the new site. The most recent development has been the addition of photos to accompany many of my poems, in the hope that if the poem doesn't appeal then the photo might! See, for example, Recollections.
16th March 2009: I'm in the process of re-locating the site from Freewebs (which has been disappointing) to Microsoft Office Live Small Businesses (which has been much more satisfactory). There is more work to be done before I resume development of the site.
28th July 2008: I've completed the addition of My Poems. However, because of limitations imposed by Freewebs I've had to proivde access via a link. You can go to the Index of Poems here.
30th June 2008: Today I've added an extra photo album for Choquelimpie. It shows larger copies of all the photos interspersed with the text in the article about the Choquelimpie gold and silver mine in Chile.
24th June 2008: I now have the first article on my site - an account of the Choquelimpie mine in Chile, which was the highest gold and silver mine in the world. There is also a photo album.
3rd June 2008: The first 'Goldenthread' site was set up this date.
