Our website has been been redesigned many times since it first went up in the mid-nineties, in a different state, at a different ISP, but if you dig a little in the lower levels you can still find traces of the original.

For example, a few years ago I added a page about interactive fiction reflecting my interest in writing text adventures. There are even some adventures playable online. The page, and my interest, has been neglected lately due to lack of time and programming ability.

Then there was the period during which I became enamored of nifty add-ons such as jigsaw puzzles and quizzes. That phase passed quickly.

In some cases we had good ideas but haven't been able to summon the energy to carry through. For example we made a start at compiling background information about our stories.

Two of the most ancient pages, which remain exactly as they were originally uploaded, are those featuring old essays by Mary and myself. I probably should have re-formatted them long since.

It's amazing how stuff piles up. I wonder what the site will look like ten years from now?

Eric Mayer Byzantine Blog Probably the only vaguely interesting thing about me is that with my wife, Mary Reed, I co-author the John the Eunuch mystery series set in sixth century Constantinople. But that doesn't stop me from dwelling here on the boring minutiae of the rest of my life, present and past, along with the occasional word about writing.
