December 28, 2019: 2019 has been a good year on the site. I haven't had a lot of time for adding new material, but I did get around to getting some things done, and things are moving along just fine. Let's see what 2020 brings.


November 18, 2019: Continuing the considerations about tracking and profiling visitors, I just can't be a part of that anymore. It has become too widespread and invasive for me to want to participate. So, out goes Google Analytics on the site. Hopefully things will change, or I find an acceptable alternative, but the way things are right now, I just don't want to be a part of all that tracking and profiling of visitors.


October 12, 2019: Removed all the Google ads. Right now there's a war going on between sites putting a ton of ads on their pages and the increasing use of adblockers, and it appears that there is some unsavory business going on with adblocking software whitelisting some ads, for a prize. The only way to win this war is by not participating, so I'm out. There is also the matter of the excessive tracking and profiling going on right now. I don't mind companies like Google and Facebook making money on ads, but IMO, things are getting out of control. Maybe there's another way to make money on websites.


August 24, 2019: I'm not sure anybody will find some use for it, but I'm starting a number of ordered lists regarding element properties. The first list is densites, and I guess the next ones will be melting points and boiling points.


March 27, 2019: Did a bit of SEO optimizing on the site. Not exactly sure how much it matters, but a bit of spring cleaning to be beneficial for websites in general.
