I have added visual evidence from remastered TOS episodes (so far of the First Federation and Gorn) to the Starship Database.
Now that TAS may become canon, I have accordingly revised my policy on the page What is Canon? and added a commentary about the new situation.
Some more rearrangements in the Inconsistencies section, plus new facts about the Tellarite make-up.
I have reshuffled a few long articles in the Inconsistencies section in order to reduce loading times.
Außerdem gibt es jetzt einen Nachtrag zu "(T)Raumschiff Surprise" (an addendum about a German movie farce remotely based on Star Trek).

A message to the scumbag who launched a massive spam attack misusing my domain names: Your efforts are absolutely futile. Pity on your puny existence.
November
A few more facts in the article about the Type-7 Shuttle and The Changing Face of Livingston (the fish, not the man).
Variations of the Type-7 Shuttle in great detail.
Sifting through the Add-Your-Link database, I have weeded out no less than 38 links, almost 10% of the total number, because they are gone for good. And this after only a couple of months since the last complete check! I have also removed all links to Freeservers, a dubious web host with multiple pop-ups and "error messages" that smell like spyware installation.
Just a few corrections this week, and some "The Voyage Home" nitpicking.
I have slightly reworked the TOS Section, replacing all blurry old episode pics and editing my sometimes clumsy text.
This month's EAE Award goes to The IDIC Page. Congratulations!
A few additions to the Star Trek Clichés, Movie-Specific Inconsistencies and Other Exobiology Inconsistencies.
A new article about the old question, Which is the Peregrine Class?

Some minor updates in the Inconsistencies section.
On a technical note, I have implemented further anti-spam measures in the feedback form, as some scumbags are abusing it to bombard me with hundreds of spam messages every week.

Site security: In a double strike against spammers, all PHP forms (like the Contact) are now using special filters to protect myself as well as to prevent criminal misuse of my forms for covert dissemination of spam. Forms with typical spam language and with fraudulent characteristics will be rejected.
No new content because I have been busy fixing display errors and some hardly noticeable yet annoying bugs in the cryptic CGI scripts for the Site Search (now with a better page content preview), Guestbook and Add Your Link features.
This month's EAE Award goes to Steve's Star Trek TOS Site. Congratulations!
The Treknology Encyclopedia A-K, L-Z has become a substandard part of this site, with insufficiently quoted facts and randomly supplemented with trivia and apocrypha. This is why I have decided to revise the whole section with a better distinction of canon and non-canon. Furthermore I have moved all secondary (one-time) technology to the supplement A-K, L-Z in order to allow the database to grow. Please note that it is a work in progress.

On the occasion of the recent site redesign I have updated and extended the EAS Site History.
The restructuring and transition to SSI and CSS is finished for the most part - the by far biggest redesign of this site in eight years! Some tweaking with images and CSS formats remains to be done. There are probably still many errors left, as I had to recode almost 500 pages and 6 scripts mostly manually. The main index will be redesigned later. I will also compile an overview of the changes and the new techniques used at EAS.
I am in the course of restructuring the site and creating a new look. This may result in dead links and layout errors. You don't need to report them, as it is a transitional phase for several days.
February
I have added the DS9 Character Bios.
Read Travis Anderson's new novel in the Special Investigations Division series, entitled The Romulan Mission.

Whatever they did at GMX, the e-mail account seems to be working again.
Due to the overzealous spam protection of GMX Mail I am not able to receive any messages sent through any of these forms: EAS Feedback, JoAT, Particle Submission. As there is no hope of getting GMX to fix the bug I have to switch all scripts to an extra e-mail address which is going to take a couple of days.
Congratulations to UFPCroatia, winner of the February 2006 EAE Award.
The new Federation Fleet Chart concludes the fleet chart updates.
