TENAS WAWA--The Chinook Jargon Voice

Colophon


"Tenas Wawa" Web Site History and Copyright
 
September 2014Updated audio player. Removed RealAudio links.
February 2010Worldnet closes down, so I lose my Web address. Jim Holton graciously agrees to host the site on his server.
March 2004Simplified linking and prepared site to stand alone in final form.
May 2003Site moved to att.net (AT&T Worldnet) from attbi.com (AT&T Broadband) when attbi sold to Comcast. Referral stubs remain at original Geocities location, but unfortunately links to site at attbi went 404 when that domain was closed.
Jan-Feb 2002Moved site from Geocities to home.attbi.com and divided from a separate but related site it had been developed beside.

Restored streaming audio (RealAudio metafile pseudo-stream) which had been disabled by changes in Geocities' server protocol. Added MP3 versions of Duane's Jargon recordings alongside RealAudio.

December 2001Collage of drawings on contents page and epilog given transparent background and made into a clickable image map.
November 2001Second annual increase in visitors during early fall noted; suggests site is becoming part of some school curriculums.
Spring 2001After a surge of visits in October, the count fell off sharply in December and the old URL of ~tenaswawa was discovered to no longer work due to a server protocol change at Geocities. (The tilde was originally necessary, then optional.) By March links to the site were backtracked and their webmasters were notified of this change, and updated the search engines.
September 2000Hit counter at 6700 and increasing by over 100 weekly.
