Subject: Trimix Web Site 1st Anniversary

On the 1 year anniversary of the Trimix Web Site, I'd like to thank all 
the supporters and especially the contributors to the site. I have lost 
count as to the total number of hits the site has received so far, but we 
do average 700-800 hits a day from around the world, sometimes peaking 
upwards of 1500 hits. Pretty good, considering how small the community of 
tech divers is. The site started out as a 10 page general info site and 
has expanded to well over a hundred pages of good, solid info available 
free to anybody who has a browser and an interest in technical diving.

I have enjoyed creating this site as it has taught me tons about mixed 
gases, technical diving, web site management and human nature. And to my 
detractors and nay-sayers, once again I give you a hearty and well 
deserved Phhiiiiiiiitttt! (you know who you are).

There are a couple of additions to the site in the past few days. I have 
added a link to Henrik Carlsen's very nice "Swiss army knife" of a air 
mixing program and to an article on solo diving by Alex Brylske. And for 
those who are feeling inadequate due to a lack of spring straps on your 
fin's, there is now a page on Imitation Oceanic Spring Heel Straps - By 
David Dalton, Sr. & Jr., Thanks, Dave(s) You will learn how to make 
Oceanic spring straps using a hockey puck, no shit! Just click on the 
"whats new" button to get more information.

As always I invite any articles, "how-to's" or links which would add to 
the Trimix Sites knowledge base. In Dave's case he mailed me the pictures 
which I scanned in and added to his text. If anyone has any articles or 
clippings which have good tech-oriented information, let me know, I can 
OCR them into the site. Interesting historical data or articles on the 
early use of Helium or other mixed gases would be of interest too.

 Enjoy!

 Jim
