Internet Editor Jim Maher stepped down today to allow Assistant John Maschmeyer to take the reins. In a public statement, he said, "I've had a great time running the development of a website for this wonderful magazine. I feel that I've made a large contribution to the Technical Review that will last a long time." Maschmeyer stated, "We've done a lot of good things here. I'm excited to finally be able to take charge, though it'll be odd to be working alone." Maher and Maschmeyer started with nothing and worked tirelessly to create the website for the Notre Dame Technical Review. In it's first year of operation, the site earned Second Place for best website in the ECMA (Engineering College Magazines Associated) organization, ahead of such schools as Yale, California-Berkely, Purdue, and Pennsylvania University. "It truly was an honor to be a part of this", Maher said. "But it's time for me to move on. With John's leadership and creativity, the Technical Review Website will soar to new heights." Maher is graduating with a degree in Computer Science and will be attending Michigan State University in the fall to begin graduate work.

The Internet Editors of the Technical Review have implemented a "smart" counter on the Home page. Jim Maher stated this morning: "We added this feature to the website so that we can gather statistical data about the site to better serve you, the viewer. We feel that with this kind of information, we will be able to see what works and improve what doesn't, making this site a better place to visit. We also want to give advertisers an idea of what kind of service they'll be getting from our site." John Maschmeyer added, "A smart counter only counts each person once. If you sit on our site and reload the front page over and over, you won't increment our counter. We chose this kind of a counter because we don't want to mislead our viewers." Other additions include a rate card for potential advertisers.

With the release of Military Technology, our Editor-in-Chief Justin Burt has officially stepped down. His replacement, Casey Korecki, has good plans for the future. "Justin's made a lot of positive changes to the look and feel of the magazine," she said in a press conference. "His institution of a Technical Review website has enabled us to reach out to a much larger audience." Burt is graduating this year with a degree in Chemical Engineering. When asked to comment, Burt said, "I'm happy to leave the magazine in much better shape than when I got here. There's still a lot to be done, but I'm confident in Casey's abilities as a leader. She'll do great things for this publication."

15 January 2002
As students arrive on campus after almost a month of winter vacation, we here at the Technical Review are commencing research for a new Spring Edition. Justin Burt, our editor-in-chief, has decided on a military technology theme for this issue. "We are all working very hard to do justice to this important topic, especially in light of the events that occurred on 11 September 2001," Burt stated. "We at the Technical Review feel that it is our responsibility to report on topics that our readers want. The entire nation is focused on what our military is doing right now, over in Afganistan." Internet Editor Jim Maher commended the idea. "Engineers want to know what's going on in the industry to aid our troops. We all want to make a difference."

The Technical Review Web space has been reclaimed from the OIT. John Maschmeyer issued the following statement: "Though we've now got most of the files for recent issues, older files are all but destroyed. We've been able to piece together part of the Spring 2000 Issue, but that's about as far back as we're going to be able to go." Files required for a deeper archive are backed up somewhere on the network, but their location is unknown to the current Technical Review Staff.

The Technical Review internet staff has officially endorsed Netscape Communicator. This means that the website will be optimized for Netscape 6. In a statement issued earlier today, Editor Jim Maher said, "We, here at the Technical Review, in order to better serve you, the viewer, have chosen to officially endorse Netscape. We felt that we were required to make a decision between Netscape and other major web browsers early in the development of this website and build the site around that browser. The features offered by Netscape were the most exciting, and so, to provide the best product possible, we chose to use Communicator. We know that our site is still viewable through IE or Mosaic, but certain features may be unavailable. Thanks for all your support in this matter."
