Board Removed

Posted on

I am sad to say that I have had to remove the message board from this site. I am currently having problems with people hacking into 17thstreet.net so I have decided to temporarily remove any scripts that may potentially be insecure. It upsets me that it has had to come to this. If I find that the message board is missed, I will consider putting another one up – but only if I can locate a more secure script.

Anyway, as this unhappy entry caused me to replace an entry that contained more positive news, I will repeat some of its content below for those of you who may have missed it.

I found the following information written in 2007 from an unlikely source, Big Cat Rescue: “[Caleb Carr] let the cat out of the bag by telling us that there will be a cameo appearance by a feline in one of his upcoming books.” It isn’t clear whether the mentioned book is an Alienist book, but at least the news is positive that he is definitely working on another novel! (And, of course, it’s also great to see that Mr. Carr is active in supporting such a great rescue organisation.)

Updates at last!

Posted on No Comments

I’m very pleased to be able to announce the first of my large updates to this site. This update has involved a complete re-organisation of the places sub-section; yes, it is a sub-section now rather than a single page. The first page of this sub-section contains information and maps of key book locations within Manhattan and Ballston Spa. The second page contains detailed information and descriptions of the homes and offices of the main characters, while the third page contains information detailing other key locations within the books. All of these pages contain a large amount of new content so please take some time to read through it all.

Next on my ‘to do’ list is to finish the characters section once and for all. Check back soon!

Still Around!

Posted on No Comments

Just a quick update to say that I’m still around! Unfortunately, as much as I would like to be working on this site, my thesis is taking up most of my time at the moment so I won’t be able to make any substantial updates until November (though some small updates have been made to the places page and the map of Manhattan). Sorry for my inability to devote much of my time to 17th Street at the moment but I hope that you’ll keep checking back. I do have some new pages planned for the site which I hope to implement once my ‘real life’ settles down.

Personalities Page Update

Posted on No Comments

Due to a very busy semester at University, I haven’t had time to work on the considerable extra content that I hoped to finish. Despite this, I have managed to add profiles for Clark Wissler, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Cornelius Vanderbilt II, and JP Morgan to the newly renamed ‘personalities‘ page. I hope to continue to make small updates on exisiting site content over the next few months but I won’t be able to make any large updates until at least June or July. I would also like to mention that due to computer failure, I have lost any emails that were sent over the past few weeks. If you have sent me anything that you would like a response to, please feel free to re-send it.
