What does the future hold for us all. Searching for that answer, I have started an imaginary diary for an imaginary family that covers the next 200 years. I am calling them the Destiny Diaries. The diaries will try to reflect the generational pattern and are being added randomly over time so that the whole story will emerge slowly and quietly. There is a reason for presenting it in this way but you will have to dig around to find that out. I am having fun with it and I hope you do too. Comments are welcome but remember it is all fictional. It might be wrong then but it isn’t wrong now.

The TimePage has been migrated to a new server as part of an ISP upgrade. I haven’t seen any hiccups yet but if you notice anything funny going on. Please contact me (Webmaster). Thanks.

I am using the Library Thing cataloging system to get a handle on my personal library. As part of that project I am going to include the books that are linked on the TimePage site and in the Amazon TimePage bookstore. This will allow me to keep track of all of the books in one place. I have put books from the Amazon TimePage bookstore in the catalogue and will be adding books from the TimePage site eventually. The links are below the fold.

I get an occasional request for information to use for citing the TimePage in school papers and such. The following information is taken from an old FAQ that has been removed from the TimePage and should provide the information needed.

Citations: If you need to cite the TimePage for a school report you may want to use something like the examples shown below. Use the first one if it is a single page from the TimePage, such as the 13 Originals page, or the second one for the TimePage site as a whole. Of course you will want to arrange the information as your reporting style dictates. If you are referencing the generational cycles aspect of my site you might want to also cite William Strauss and Neil Howe and their book “Generations” on which the site was based.

• Murray, William (author), “13 Originals (The TimePage),” revision date*, http://www.timepage.org/spl/13colony.html .
• Murray, William (author), “The TimePage,” 2001, http://www.timepage.org/ .

*Since the page is revised on an ongoing basis you will want to obtain the latest revision date by looking at the bottom of the web page you are citing.

The TimePage has been online now for a long time. Since 1995 originally, 2001 in its present form. Like all webpages, I have made some changes to the format from time to time and it has content and links that have deteriorated over the years. And like all web pages it has required periodic maintenance to keep those items up to date. Unfortunately, I have not been very industrious with my site maintenance recently and a lot of unfinished work has accumulated. This website is, in a way, my first step in trying to accomplish that goal.
