- YOUR HELP IS NEEDED:
Today a new area was launched on the Mad Cornish Projectionist website, a
wiki to try and create the complete A-Z of Projection and Cinema. This
area of the site is meant to be a compelte glosary of terms and the
industry which any relevant links, be it carbon arcs or sprockets this
glossary hopes to cover them all. And I would like you to help me to
create it by adding your own terms and meanings. You will need to
register, which should be straighforward (this is to try and stop too much
spam) and then you are free to edit as you fill able. The link can be
found: http://wiki.madcornishprojectionist.co.uk

- The Mad Cornish Projectionist today launched a major new section on his website dedicated to Digital Cinema. The new section is intended to include all areas of this new technology including alternative content. To the intention is to provide the same range of information and resources digital cinema as have been for the more traditional film cinema. Comments, ideas and content are all welcomed.

- The home page got updated yesterday. Although it looks more or less the same as it did previously. However, the backend has been changed so that individual stories can now be added and removed more easily (and automatically) which will make updating the stories a lot easier.

- Mad Cornish Projectionist MOBILE - I have created a mini version of this site, which is designed for mobile phones. It isn't written in the WAP scripting language though so there is no guarntee that it will work on all phones though. It is very much still a beta releash and as such there are likely to be a number of elements which are not working properly. The direct address is www.madcornishprojectionist.co.uk/mobile.
2005-09-04

2005-08-23

2005-06-28
- Just a couple of updates I have made in the last couple of days. Firstly I have put an RSS feed system on the news pages. This is experimental at the moment as it relies on a third party to provide the feed. As a result the feed takes the entire years news and doesn't break it down into different months.
The second addition is that there is now a mailing list for updates on any new news which is added. It is likely that I will add some more mailing lists to the site as I see fit.
2005-04-10

- A major update has been taking place. The site has been converted over to a database back end allowing for greater flexibility in the way the site is created, especially in relation to links. Also the layout and design of the site has changed with the content being divided into three main subsections and a new menu structure put into place. Hopefully all the changes will make the site easier to navigate. As the site has so heavily worked on there maybe a few links which don't work properly or pages which don't appear as they should. If you see any of these pages then please feel free to email me at the address at the bottom of the page.
