01/01/07 - Happy New Years!
04/27/07 - I'm still here.
Despite appearances, I'm still around and still making periodic updates to the site. Life has been very hectic the past year or so. I have a new job and spare time in front of the computer is hard to find these days. Also, much of my design work was lost in a drive crash. Fun stuff.

05/06/06 - Work on the site is on hiatus right now. Life is getting a little busy.
01/01/06 - Happy New Years!

04/04/05 - I'm still here.
I've been working on the Klingon site as well as two new sites for the Games section - "Thief: The Keeper's Compound" and "Defend the Keep - A 'Siege of Avalon' site". Progress continues on all three sites and updates should be popping up sometime this summer. This is why you tackle one project at a time. : )
01/23/05 - Work on the Klingon site continues, but I've decided not to upload all of the changes until I'm finished. It's getting an entire overhaul - new look and content both. May be a few months, though.
01/03/05 - Happy New Years! Okay, well, belated two days ago Happy New Years!

11/10/04 - Sorry for the lack of updates
I realize I haven't posted many updates lately and I'm sorry - it's just been a hectic few months. The Klingon site is up, but it's only half-finished. I figured something was better than nothing. The Transformers profiles still aren't up either - I'm having a hard time getting the code to work right. Anyway, just bear with me and we'll get there eventually.
07/23/04 - Some sections down
Well, the new site is up, but it's going to take a few weeks to get all of the sections back up. Currently the Games, Jesus, Klingons, Transformers, and Galleries sections are down. I'll post a news item each time one comes back up. The profiles aren't working on the Transformers site - I'm still working on that feature.
07/18/04 - New site design.
As you may have noticed, the site has been completely redesigned. The Commodore 64 site has been moved out of the Games section, and a site about Klingons has been added as well. Photos has been renamed Galleries. It may take a few weeks to get everything up, so please be patient with me.
07/01/04 - Mighty Max section updated
The Mighty Max site has been recreated from the ground up. The new site, now called "The Mighty Max Portal", contains three times as much information as the old site. Updates include screenshots, profiles of Max, his allies, and his enemies, as well as pages about the video game and DVD sets. At the time of this writing, the Mighty Max Portal is the single most comprehensive Mighty Max resource on the Internet.
04/13/04 - Comics Gallery updated
The Comics Gallery, located in the Photos section, has been updated with over thirty new covers. Some covers were removed after being sold or traded.

7/10/2003 - Site Expansion Coming Soon
I just moved to a new hoster with a whopping 500MB of server space, so there should be some massive site expansions coming soon. Most of the expansion will be in three areas - the photo galleries, Games & More, and Star Wars.
5/13/2003 - Book Covers Finished
I'm done adding cover thumbnails to the Expanded Universe section of the Star Wars site. All of the books and graphic novels now have thumbnails. I'm debating whether or not to do the games, since many of them have multiple boxes and art. Time will tell - if they show up, then I did them.
2/17/2003 - Book Covers Added
I'm currently in the process of adding cover thumbnails to the Expanded Universe section of the Star Wars site. When I'm finished, each game, book, or graphic novel will have a thumbnail of its cover to go with the description. Should be completed by summer.
1/03/2003 - Comics Galleries Added
The Comics section of the Photo Album is now up and populated with my comics collection. I'm willing to trade or sell many of them, so let me know if you see anything you like.

10/03/2002 - Several Sections Updated
Tons of updates today! Updates to the Star Wars, TransFormers, Jesus & Photo Album sections. The characters and movie pages have been redone in Star Wars, the screenshot galleries are up in TransFormers, scriptures re-organized in Jesus, and thumbnails added to Photo Album along with additional photos. Loads of new content everywhere. Enjoy!
5/23/2002 - Photo Albums Updated
I updated the "My Family" album to include current pictures of all five kids, including the newest one. For you family members out there, I know it's been a month, but I wanted to wait until he looked more like a baby and less like a red prune.
4/16/2002 - Joshua Dan Wilson
April and I are proud to announce the birth of our new son, Joshua Dan. He weighed in at 8 lbs, 7 oz. and 20 inches long.
3/20/2002 - Photo Albums Online
Well, kind of. The first photo album, My Family, is online with a few pictures of my kids. The other albums should start coming online over the course of this year, as I get the pictures taken and/or scanned in and the pages created. The personal albums are mainly for the benefit of friends and family scattered all over the country, but I don't mind others looking, too. After all, I'm awfully proud of my kids. : -)
2/22/2002 - Another Omegacron?
It just came to my attention that there is another person out there using the name "Omegacron". I don't know how this happened, as I came up with the word on my own and thought it was fairly unusual and unique. At any rate, the "other guy" out there has been submitting video game codes to various pages and has an email address of jetstorm666@aol.com. Please don't confuse us - I am not him. I'm me.
Thank you.
2/15/2002 - Omegacron is back online!
Omegacron is back up and running. Feel free to check out the new design and see all the new information. This is the last major update for quite some time, but hopefully we'll all see that it was well worth it...
1/01/2002 - Omegacron gets a facelift!
After several months of being offline, OmegaCron's redesign is nearing completion. Past visitors will notice a slightly different interface using the same navigational scheme. The graphics were cleaned up across the entire site, and all of the pages and sections got an overhaul. ***whew*** Also, I've finally got information in all of the sections - no more dead ends.
A big reason the site went down is because I've changed hosters. I was using Verio at $20 a month and switched over to RackShack (ev1.net) for $10 a month. Since the site was down for several days anyway, I decided to tweak it a little. As usual, tweaking turned into another redesign.
Needless to say, though, this will be the last major update for quite some time. If you have any questions or comments about the change, please let me know.

6/20/2001 - BoneChill.Com becomes OMEGACRON!
After over 10 years as BoneChill, it's time to retire the name. The new name, OmegaCron, conveys more of a "sci-fi" feel to it, and sounds less like something from a horror movie. This change has been on the backburners for quite some time now. Everything else is the same, just the name is changing.
If you have any questions or comments about the change, please let me know.
4/25/2001 - A Whole New World
Welcome to a whole new world -- a BoneChill.Com like you've never seen before.
I realize that there haven't been any updates for months. I apologize for the lack - I've simply been busy. I haven't had much spare time to work on the site. In fact, you'll find that it still isn't finished. However, you'll also notice that it's practically a whole new site. Every single section has been updated or re-designed altogether. I've left nothing untouched.
The first change that previous visitors will have noticed is an entirely new interface. I've done away with the Javascript planet and the side-based menu. In its place I've introduced this new, "nav-bar" interface. This way, no matter which section or page you're browsing, you will still have instant access to the rest of the site. Coupled with the new site map feature, this grants you unlimited access to every page and section of BoneChill.Com from anywhere within the site.
Also, two more sections have been dropped -- Shows of the 80's and the Wheel of Time. I realize that these were two of my more popular sections, but I definitely have my reasons. The Shows of the 80's is still a section I would like to have, but it's nearly a hundred pages by itself. That's just too huge for me to maintain. It would take me several more months just to fill out that one section alone!
As for the Wheel of Time, that's a longer story. My wife and I have both thoroughly enjoyed this series by Robert Jordan. We've also both eagerly anticipated the ending of what has been an extremely engaging and 'well-worth-reading' story. However, as usually happens when Christians try to enjoy worldly things, the books came into conflict with our religious and moral beliefs. For some reason which I'll never understand, Robert Jordan felt the need to include lesbianism in his latest book. That, coupled with the primary character's love affairs with three women at the same time, just became too much to bear. We both decided to discontinue our support of these books. And with that decision, the website no longer had a place on BoneChill.Com. It's truly a shame that Jordan felt the need to include such controversial material in what would otherwise be a literary masterpiece.
I may at some time replace one or both of these sections with something else, but for now the changes should allow me to spend more time maintaining the remaining sections, and will hopefully result in a much better site overall.
Lastly, a change which should be invisible to those of you reading this page, I've changed hosting companies for the site. When I joined Hiway two years ago, there wasn't a great selection of hosters out there. Hiway was among the best. Now, however, there are plenty of competitors who offer three times the space for less price. The change should go un-noticed, but if you experience any problems, please let me know.

11/14/2000 - Welcome to the new BoneChill.Com!
BoneChill.Com is finally catching up with the new millenium. The site has been completely redesigned, using a few of the existing features & sections. I've been working on a new design for several months. Until it's finished, however, I've placed this temporary design up. The next few months or so of my spare time will be spent cleaning up any broken links or such & fleshing out the end branches of the site. Unfortunately, there's just more website than I have time. So, please keep in mind as you browse this site -- IT'S TEMPORARY...
Three sections have been dropped -- Wolverine, Thief, & the Unreal Skins. I realize that these were some of my most popular sections, but they were also some of my biggest ones, and all of these sections are just getting too large to maintain in my spare time. The Thief site, the Keeper's Compound, has been relocated to The Circle of Stone & Shadow, the "official" fansite for the Thief games. To find the new location, visit the Circle at www.thief-thecircle.com and look in the 'Guides & Lore' section. The Wolverine site has just been dropped altogether, as well as the Unreal Skins section. I don't care for many of the changes Marvel has been making to their titles, including Wolverine, and I'm afraid Unreal just isn't as popular as it once was. Fear not, though -- my X-Men skins can still be found in the Downloads section.
I've added a new site dedicated to Jesus Christ. In our quest for entertainment and cool thrills these days, we sometimes forget what is truly important. He may not be the star of a movie full of "eye-candy", but Jesus deserves a place on my website even more than Star Wars or Mighty Max. Over the past few years, I've grown closer to the Lord and that relationship has brought me to understand some of what the Bible has been describing for the past few thousand years. If my site can bring even one person to know the Lord as I do, then it was well worth it. 'Bout time I put this $300 a year domain to some good use, after all.
Not all of the sections have been overhauled, but every one has been updated. The TransFormers site has been completely redesigned, and the Star Wars site is sporting some nifty new graphics & features. The Mighty Max site has a new FAQ section, and the Games section & Shows of the 80's section have both been organized a little better. Another thing previous visitors may notice is that I dropped the Online Store. I've had the Bookstore up and running for months, but haven't sold a single book. I just decided it wasn't worth the extra maintenance. Lastly, I also created an Awards page to show off awards this site has won. I'm hoping to add several more soon.
Please keep in mind, though, that even this interface is temporary. By April of next year, I'm hoping to have a new interface using Flash and DHTML. In the meantime, though, take a look around and enjoy the new site.
5/07/2000 - Three New Sections Added
Because of my indecisions regarding the new section, I've decided to take matters a step further -- I've expanded the site to include two more sections. For the time being, these two sections will remain vacant until I decide what I want to do with them.
The third section I'm devoting to a site about Jesus and his wonderful salvation. The world is turning into a dark and ugly place, and I want to make sure there is a beacon of light at my site.
4/11/2000 - UPDATES!! UPDATES!!
Well, I've finally got some updates done. The Thief site is being expanded to include information from Thief Gold and Thief 2:The Metal Age. New enemies, characters, and other such information will be added for all those Thief fans out there. Also, I've made some changes to the Wheel of Time site, mostly minor.
The Terminator site will be dropped due to lack of useable content. Instead, I think I will add either a Highlander section or a Dune section. It all depends on what information I can find. If you have any comments or suggestions (or content), please email me at bonechill@bonechill.com.
1/27/2000 - Not many updates lately
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've made a couple of changes in the game section, but nothing really major. I'm getting an ISDN line in February, so hopefully that'll help some. Between the job and family, I just haven't had much time to work on the ol' BoneChill.Com.
1999 News Archive:
9/17/1999 - Wolverine Section Updated!
Despite my original plans to update each section one at a time, I've again fallen into my old habits of working on the entire site at once. However, because of this, the Wolverine section has now been updated with a newer interface and new graphics. Although not fully populated yet, new information will be popping in there frequently, so check often.
8/19/1999 - Online Store Being Added
I'm currently in the process of adding an online store. Through affiliate programs with companies like Amazon.Com and The Orbital Trading Post, you will be able to buy books, model kits, software, and videos all through BoneChill.Com. The store is partially up, but none of the links are working yet. Please check back often as the store will be built up over the next few days.
8/19/1999 - Babylon5 Section Removed -- Terminator section Added
After much deliberation, I removed my Babylon 5 section and replaced it with a Terminator section. To be perfectly honest, I've lost much of my interest in Babylon 5 since the third season (The Shadow Wars) and have always been a fan of the Terminator movies. The new section will not be up for several weeks, but will be called The SkyNet Files.
7/28/1999 - Sections being updated
You may notice over the next month or two that the sections are being redesigned one by one. I'm trying to give each of the sections a nicer, cleaner look - appearance-wise and code-wise. While I'm doing this, I will update and finish each section as I go. Eventually, when I'm finished, each section should be up-to-date and "finished." Please bear with me as this happens. The first site to undergo the makeover will be the TransFormers site, so watch it for a better idea of what will happen. As always, suggestions are welcome.
6/25/1999 - Thief section updated!
My Thief section has gone up. It's called the Keeper's Compound, and is a look at Thief from a reference perspective. I have found no other Thief site that gives you comprehensive enemy, character, and weapon information, so I made my own. The details haven't been finished yet, but it should be pretty impressive when it is. Feel free to take a look at what I've have so far, and remember - I'm always open to suggestions.
6/21/1999 - Wheel of Time section updated!
The Wheel of Time section has been updated to include a slightly different look and updated pages. Although the character and book information pages aren't finished yet, the History page, One Power page, and Dragon pages are up. I've used a new font which gives it a nicer look, and new title headings in the same font. I've also given it a new main page, and have done away with the Gateway page.
6/11/1999 - BoneChill's New Home
Well, it's official. You're now looking at the new home of BoneChill's Website, www.bonechill.com!
The website will change its name to reflect the new domain - Bonechill's Website will now be BoneChill.Com. Please bear with me as I try to update everything. I realize that I've been a little negligent as far as updates go (almost none of the Star Wars profiles are finished), and several of the sites haven't changed at all. I will try in earnest to update the sections as quickly as possible. Any comments or suggestions can be sent to me at bonechill@bonechill.com.
6/1/1999 - New Section Added
I am currently building a new section which will revolve around the game Thief: The Dark Project. This game (released about 6 months ago) is a revolutionary first-person "shooter". Here's the catch - the object of the game is to avoid conflict. That's right - you actually spend almost the entire game trying not to fight!
When the new section is up, there will be a walkthrough, character information, and other goodies for Thief fans. Until then, you can get more information at the Unofficial Thief: The Dark Project page.
5/26/1999 - Skins Section Updated
The Unreal Xmen Skins section has been updated to reflect the new site design. Each X-Man will now have a brief bio and will also have screenshots of their skins. Keep checking for new skins, as I am currently working on four new ones. See the Skins section for details.
5/10/1999 - New Site Design
As some of you may have noticed, the site now has a new design.
This new design is one I've been toying around with for a while, and I think it looks much more professional. Besides that, it seems to fit the site better. This should be the last major redesign for quite some time. Please keep in mind - I'm still working on updating all of the pages and sections. The sections being updated over the next few months are:
- * Mighty Max
- * Star Wars
- * TransFormers
- * Wheel of Time
- * Wolverine
Enjoy!
4/3/1999 - 2 New Skins Added to Skins Section
I've added two new skins in the Unreal XMen Skins section - Cyclops1 and Cyclops2. Cyclops1 is a costume worn by Cyclops throughout much of the earlier XMen adventures in the 70s and 80s. Cyclops2 is the current costume worn by Cyclops.
New Feature! -- Clicking on the skin pictures should now download the zip file.
3/28/1999 - Batman and Superman Sections Taken Down
I decided to take down my Batman and Superman sections. Although I am a fan of both comic titles/characters, I just don't feel that I could compete with the many good sites already out there.
I also had a difficult time finding enough original information and content on the characters. If you have any comments about my decision, or have content you feel would make for a good section, please let me know.
3/2/1999 - Star Wars Section Redesigned!
I've begun work on a new design for the Star Wars section.
The new design will have much nicer graphics and an easier navigation layout. The popular Rebel and Empire personnel databases will stay, although they will be incomplete for some time as I convert the information to the new design.
This new design will also include a seperate section for both the Jedi and Sith Orders.
2/16/1999 - Wheel of Time Section Added!
I have just finished adding a Wheel of Time section to the website. Although it's not finished yet, and won't be for a few months, it promises to be an original and informational WoT page.
For those of you in the dark, The Wheel of Time is a series of books by Robert Jordan that present the reader with an unusual grade of fantasy fiction. Heralded by many critics as fantasy's best writer, Jordan will submerse you in a world filled with wonder and reality.
For more information, please visit the new WoT section.
1/27/1999 - New Site Design
The new site design for the website is temporary only while I work on the new one. This one will be up until April or May sometime, and then I'll put the new one up. The permanent design will incorporate JavaScript and a feedback form, as well as some other advanced features. Please bear with me as my skills and experience grow.
