| 01/12/03 | After a long summer break and some weeks of work, a new version of the archive is up and running. Not only did the archive get a new painting, most of the new things working in the background. All data is now collected in a database so that the bottlings can be sorted when you view them. Also you will find the latest five bottles that where added to the archive at the main page. So you can better keep up to date of what happens here. | |
| 31/03/03 | Meanwhile another year has come. Even when you didnt read anything new on this page, the archive continued to grow. Now we have more then 450 bottlings in the archive, much with a detailed picture. Soon we will make some minor changes to the webpage. On request of some of our users we will provide a new update page, were you can read what changed since the last update. | |
