  17:27 - Got my NT system running again after replacing its system disk system with a super fast 9GB SCSI-2 system. Feels nice to have 13GB in the system (uboat.net alone takes about 1GB for all its development files) I think :) Took some 15 hours of work to configure the system properly though during which the e-mail poured in :)

• 
  01:24 - Added the 26 U-boat Commanders with last names starting with Z to the List of all Commanders. 328 men listed.

  Created a simple page called Special Items that houses special subsections that do not fit elsewhere. Emblems is hosted there for one.

  Linked the Flotilla pages to the new improved emblems where available.

• 
  17:27 - Added a very interesting new 6-page feature called
  Men lost from U-boats that we believe is unique to uboat.net. It's pretty close to a complete listing but we'll continue to work on it after a while.

  Updated the profiles for U-156 and U-174.

  Been working very hard on making vector emblems for the new Emblem page, have finished 70 of the perhaps 400 emblems used in the war. Each one takes about an hour to make properly. The Emblem page will open this week and will be nice I think.

•
