Happy New Year 2008

Happy New Year 2008!

May it let you accomplish all your projects!

I carefully counted, and it's exactly the 9th time I wish a good year on my site... Wow, that won't help me feeling any younger! icone smiley wink

So, the end-of-the-year parties are over, Old Santa is on holidays in Hawaï... Hope he brought you all the presents you desired!
OK, 'nough talking, let's get back to work for 12 more months!

See you real soon on ShamWerks, many thanks to all of you for your kind messages, your visits, your fidelity... Special thanks go to Ludo, Olive of the Hills, The Wasp, FredFlatFour, F@bbe, Olive of the Islands, Dangerous (and I'm sure I'm forgetting way more!) for your regular friendly and encouraging messages...

And once more, I wish you a Very Happy New Year 2008!

50.000

I'm back!

Two month without any new article on ShamWerks, sorry for this long silence, the "real life" has recently been a bit difficult for me, I had other concerns to deals with...

So, this is a bit late that I finally celebrate the 50.000th visitor on this site!
I decided to celebrate this event with a pin-up from the excellent Andrew Bawidamann ; believe me, you should have a look at his site, he's got hell of a brilliant drawing skill... I am personally fond of his very "generous" style and... sort of provokating... icone smiley laugh

Many thanks to all of you, frequent visitors of ShamWerks, who contacted me to check I was OK, and supported me somehow or other... In the blogging family, a special thanks to Olive and Ludo... I appreciate, gents.
And above all, a world of thanks to you, my real friends, the one you actually recognize in these occasions. You know who you are...

See you real soon on ShamWerks... I'm back for good, and I've got many bombs to drop! icone smiley wink

45.000

Here we are, 5000 more visits, ShamWerks goes though the 45.000 hits boundary!
Many, many thanks to you all for your comments, advices, congrats...

As the tradition wants, here is the usual pin-up to celebrate the event... But to be real sure not to give you a pinup you've already seen on 15 blogs, I draw it myself... icone smiley wink

Some of you noticed that my blog was less often updated than some others over the Internet... That's right. And this is probably the reason why I don't have that many visits, compared to some super-star blogs that have as many hits in one single week, as myself in years...icone smiley laugh
But I still prefer prepared articles wih a real, serious, original content, with some logic and text... Instead of just throwing a picture probably stolen from another site... icone smiley wink

See you in two month from now for the next big boundary stone... I'll have to find something phat to celebrate this one!

Thanks again to you all, see you back soon!

Site map...


Just a quick news...

In order to help you finding your way in the structure of this site (which starts getting big!), or to find back an article more easily, I've just put online a site map, which you can reach by clicking the banner above, or the "site map" link in the left menu.
At the same time, the tooltip bubbles turn a little bit "sexier"... You lucky guys. icone smiley laugh

This bloody recursive function has been a nightmare to tidy up... My neurons are still warm from this exercise...

40.000 visitors!

And voila, ShamWerks reached the 40.000 visits! (and Sham the 32 years!)

Therefore, here is the traditional pin-up, this time out of the pencil of Gil Elvgren (by far my favorite pin-up drawer). Next one in 5000 hits from now...

The number of daily visits on ShamWerks is pretty stable, between 50 and 80 visitors... From which a large majority of regular readers (contact me to get your Frequent Flyer card, you'll get miles!), mainly in France, but as well more and more from the USA... Plus some regular islanders, either from French Antillas, Polynesia, or Reunion!
Many thanks to all of you, for your comments, advices, help, support... Thanks! icone smiley wink

Soon some more news on ShamWerks... I'm preparing a "Fifties Deco" section for the newt few days (Teddy, you'll like it!)... But as well, the Mini 181 will re-start its building process, some news about the Ghia, some Vintage stuff, and even some R/C modeling!


Thank you for flying ShamWerks Airlines... The seat belts fasten, adjust and unfasten this way... Emergency exits are at front, rear, and middle of the site...

35.000 : ShamWerks goes bilingual (again)!

Voila, we've reached the 35.000 visits... Oh, talking about that : you'll get the traditionnal pin-up every 5.000 hits only from now, unless there will soon be more pin-ups than real content on this bloody site! icone smiley wink

The previous version of this site was available both in French and in English, and as ShamWerks has a lot of visits from english-speaking people...

It was more than important that ShamWerks becomes accessible in English again!

So, in order to celebrate those 35.000 hits, and using the little flags in the left column, you can switch the language for all of the articles on this site! (Well, actually, if you're reading that, you already know!)
The articles in the Photo section are not yet all translated, but it's a matter of hours... By the way, my English is not that perfect, do not hesitate to drop me a line if some translations are too bad...

The RSS feed, as well, is from now on available in French and in English!

There were fewer updates those last days : I've spent a lot of time translating the site, and at least as much time at my workbench preparing the future articles!

Many thanks for your fidelity : statistics show that more than one third of the visitors are regular ones... See you back soon!

Happy new year 2007!



Here it is, one more year is over... I wish a very Happy New year to all of you!

On my side, I'm pretty happy this year is over, a lot of bad things happened... But that's over!
Let's use this brand new year as a new start, making sure we keep otimistic!

The picture above is a photograph taken on September 15th by the Cassini-uygens probe... Actually, this is a mosaic of 165 pictures, taken over a 3 hours period, while the probe was in Saturn's shadow. So we can see, for the very first time, the ringed giant in back-light! (click the picture to see it full res... And to learn more, follow this link.)

Why such a picture to celebrate the beginning of the new year?
Have an accurate look on the left, near the first blurry ring, there's a bright spot... This is the Earth, as seen more than a billion kilometers away, which the probe left 9 years ago.

In one hand, it gives a giddiness feeling... In the other hand, it's a tremendous help relativizing our poor, small everyday concerns, isn't it? icone smiley wink
Everything's relative would say Albert... Enjoy this new year, don't let small issues demoralize you...

Once more, Happy New Year 2007 to all of you...

31.000 visits on ShamWerks.com !

31.000 visitors got lost down here!

Well, OK, obviously 31.000 visitors over a 8 years period (since the beginning of this site), this is far from a great performance... icone smiley wink

However, since the site moved on ShamWerks.com, the number of visitors keeps growing... 1.000 visits in just a little bit more than a month! Many thanks to all of you for your interest!

For those who missed it, ShamWerks has an RSS feed, for a few days!

Stay tuned, many surprises will come within the next weeks...

PS: Many thanks Oliv' for your postcard which I scanned this pin-up from... Very sixtes, and coming directly from Moorea!

Sham is back online : v4.0!



Welcome !



The last real update of my site was made in late 2003... Since then, no real update happened on Da Sham's Webpage. Due to personal and professional issues, other priorities... And some laziness, I must admit!icone smiley wink
But that's over, and the site changes its name!
Let's do some online archeology :

  • My first steps on the Web occur in '96 with a site named "Good Morning Net'naaaaam", hosted by Geocities... Which disappeared a long time ago, which is all but a big loss, believe me. (Edit 2016-05-23 : Actually, there's still a trace of it at Archive.org!)
  • October 1998, I give birth to "Da Sham's Webpage", the v1.0 being hosted at Citeweb, until late 1999.
  • January 1st 2001 appears the v2.0, on a new hosting site ; Free (God bless the freebox). The V.3.0 will appear on June 2003...
  • 2006, 10 years after my first appearance online (er... I'm getting old!), here is the v4.0, and to celebrate this event, it even has it's own domain name : welcome on ShamWerks.com!

Gosh... 10 years online, sounds scary no?? icone smiley laugh
This new version is made to be more dynamic, interactive... The ADSL having killed the RTC (56K R.I.P...), I can afford some heavier graphic content, nicer pictures ; 800x600 screens being rare today, I leave the old 760px wide design for 977px : sorry for the webdesign's purists, it was way to tight! icone smiley wink

Technically, the site has been developed in PHP over a MySQL database... No typepad, no WordPress, no DotClear, everything has been done by hand! It may look like a strange choice, but it gives me more control and flexibility on what I'm doing, playing with some technologies (URL rewriting, GD, RSS, etc.)... Yes, being software developer helps a lot. icone smiley wink

There's many more to come soon : stay tuned!

30.000 Visits!

30.000 visitors got lost on this site since 1998...

Ok, gotta admit that this is not a fantastic score over a 8 years period, compared to some "trendy" blogs... But thank you anyway for your visits, and as required by the "online tradition", here is a pin-up to celebrate the event...



This is Betty Jo Boals, Miss August 1949 of Hot Rod Magazine, presenting a magneto.... She was 19 years old by then, so she is... 76 today! icone smiley wink

Thanks again for your visits!

Me revoila après 6 mois d'absence! Désolé pour ça, j'ai été débordé, et je voulais prendre mon temps pour refondre en totalité le site...
L'interface du site évolue donc (version 3.0!) avec l'abandon des frames, et l'utilisation de techniques (PHP, mySQL...) me permettant de faire mes modifications plus facilement... Plus ou moins toutes les sections sont revisitées, pour harmoniser leur aspect et rafraîchir leur contenu.
La section photo s'est enrichie (passez voir mes photos de Polynésie!), la section modélisme est restructurée... Bref, plein de choses à voir, je vous laisse balader!
Certaines pages sont en cours de finalisation, donnez mio quelques jours pour finir de mettre ca au point! ;)
Enfin, Da Sham's a accueilli son 15 000e visiteur en Mars! Merci à tous de votre fidélité!

  • update of the Bubul pages, with the wiring diagram of th modification of my remote control emmiter. A lot of visitors asked for it!
  • I (me myself) appeared in the french R/C Model magazine "Bateau modèle" N°42 of December 2001/January 2002... Soon some scans of it here!
  • Added the pictures of the 2001 R/C Submarine Meeting of Pegomas
  • At least (!!), I added the pictures of the 2001 VW Meeting of Menton... 6 Month after the event! Well I already did an article on this event on Flat4Ever.com...

In fact the latest 4 month have been rather complicated for me, mainly because I have been fired from my former position (for economic reasons)... So I'm loking for a job now!
I have used those kind of hollidays to go to Guadeloupe (French Antillas) : pictures available here : Guadeloupe page...
Next, just before being fired, I have bought a new vehicle... I promise, this will be the last!! You can have a look to this real beauty here : Malicia

Two new pages today : the bill of the Nautile, and a second page of pictures of the building of the same Nautile... I have modified the aspect of the font of the whole Submarine section. Smaller font looks better! At last I've added the word "disabler" to the diko ninfo (still in french only!). Thanks to James for this word!!

I have almost been able to make rebound the bubbles of the first page... This is not perfect, but the effect is cool! All the site is now in "Verdana" font, more readable in my own opinion. I have well advance on Bubul (the engines are directed, it works!), but I do not have any pictures yet...
