Yep! I was just looking at the server logs, and it seems that Hab1.com has received 1000 visitors since I started keeping track in mid-March!

That’s a milestone I am proud to have reached, and I thank all of you who have visited this site since it opened a few months ago!

Thanks!

Just thought I’d let you know that I’ve finished with the slight recoding of the site’s code I was doing…last night had me panicked a little bit, and if anyone loaded up the homepage around 9:00pm EDT last night, you know exactly what I mean by panicked!

Comments Off on Polling System Added

A new, interactive polling script has been added to Hab1.com!

Visible in the navigation menu on the left, you can now vote on a given topic.

The first topic is, quite simply, asking how many times you’ve been to a Space Camp, Aviation Challenge, or Space Academy program.

Vote now!

I’ve also posted a new topic in the Questions/Comments forum of the HabForum (it seems everything here starts with the word Hab, doesn’t it?! 🙂 so you can leave ideas in that topic, if you’d like!

A Small “Under the Hood” Overhaul

Comments Off on A Small “Under the Hood” Overhaul

I’m currently trying to improve some of the code on the site, optimizing it if you will…

…So, for the next couple of days, if you click on a link and get any sort of error, or see an error listed with only part of a page displayed, wait a few minutes and press reload on your browser…by then, it should be fixed.

Thanks!

Yes, yes…I know I haven’t updated this site for some time…school just got the better of my time, and I was stressed out for quite some time!

But school’s over now!!! Well, until fall, at least…but I promise to make updates more frequently than I have been…

The latest update was made to the HabForum…it has received an incremental upgrade…Hopefully, this will ensure smooth operation as more and more people join and post (*hint* *hint*)

Additionally, all of the old news (including where to go for some contests) can be accessed in the Archives…click at the bottom right corner of the news to get the the Archives.

enjoy!

Yet Another Space Camp Contest

Comments Off on Yet Another Space Camp Contest

Companies seem to just want to give free trips to Space Camp more and more these days!

This time, startrek.com is offering a free trip for 4 to Space Camp (So this way, when you win, you can take your favorite Space Camp community website webmaster with you :)!!!

The only problem: This one requires more work than the Chips Ahoy contest.

The goal here is to know as much as possible about Star Trek trivia. So, if you love Space Camp, and you’re also a hard-core trekker (or trekkie, or whatever!), this trivia contest may be an easy ticket to Space Camp!

ASA Sessions in June are Almost Full

Comments Off on ASA Sessions in June are Almost Full

I called today to see what dates were available:

June 3-8 and June 24-29 in the Payload Specialist Tracks were the only dates available.

If you want to go in the month of June, I suggest you hurry and give them a call at 1-800-63SPACE or register online.

I guess I for one will not be going, due to both those dates being quite bad for me, and my being too old after June to go. *sniff*

Hurry if you want to go!
