Thanks to Sue of
Petz Boardwalk for
so generously providing mirror space for so many months, and then for
taking on the full bandwidth burden of my monster of a site when Abby
could no longer do so. You're a special lady, Sue! My enormous thanks
also to Abby of the Petzwarehouse for hosting my site for all those
years.
Thanks to our amazing Minibyte, I now have a full mirror of this site
at
her domain, thank you Minibyte!!
If my site goes down at any time -- woah, that would be quite a day!
-- pop along to
this page, where I'll keep you informed of whatever is going on.
18 Mar 2010
Wow, I hear you say, it lives! Well, in a way... I still care about
this site and the old Petz games, but I have no time. This update is a
small bit of maintenance -- the page for the Petz 5 backup CD now has
some necessary Catz dlls. You couldn't get catz to load on it before,
but with these dll files you should be able to. And the links page --
I have kept the old pages as an archive but now, when you click on the
"links and contact" it takes you to a simple page with urls on it that
I have checked. Plus, I have a new sister site :) Oh yes, and now that
Daniel's site is down, I've added the original bunny and pig file
downloads to the "catz in dogz" and "dogz in catz" pages. I'm very sad
to see his site down again, and am not sure of exactly what is
"broken" on this site of mine because of it. I will try to find broken
links and fix them, but if you find such a link please drop me an
email. The mail is still the hex-help at hornsc clara co uk one.
20 Aug 2009
Wow, nearly a year later, an update! Well actually I've been adding
odd things here and there for a while now, but not really "Carolyn's
Creations" so I've not been mentioning them. But people who are having
trouble searching for everything for the game foolers are getting the
odd pleasant surprise if they keep their eyes open; I'm hoping that
people who have lost or damaged irreplaceable CDs will find them
helpful also.
I have also uploaded what you would need in order to be able to play with Petz Player files, such as Phantarella on my main page, Babyz player files such as the ones on my "play online" Babyz page, and perhaps most important, to go into the Catz 1 shrine! ;-)
Last but not least, the very big news; I now have a full mirror of this giant of a site! Bookmark this link. Huge thanks to Minibyte!!
30 Sep 2008
I know, I know, I hardly ever update these days. I really don't have
the time, but I still love the old Petz, Babyz and Oddballz games so
I've not abandoned you :-) No new hexings for you, but for Babyz
players I have zipped up the
ViaVoice files so that people who have
been having problems with downloading the individual files can get
them, plus on that page you will see a link to help those of you with
damaged or lost CDs. Also there are a few links to creative and useful
sites on my
"small but beautiful" links page. I have put a little more information on the
new "petz" games -- the ones that Ubisoft now
calls Catz 2 and Dogz 2. These are in no way like the older Petz II
game of course, but the info is there for completeness. It's a real
nuisance that UbiSoft have chosen to call their new 3D pet games Catz,
Dogz, Catz 2 and Dogz 2.
15 May 2008
Just a really tiny thing -- a new link on my
"small but beautiful" links page
:-) I know people have written to me before asking for links to be
updated; forgive me, I have had various things such as computer
crashes over the past few months and am not now able to find the
messages. If you want a link changed, please write to me again.
03 May 2008
It's like a bus, isn't it -- you wait for ages and then two come along
at once ;-) Okay, the site should now be complete, including the
FinFin and Petz4 demo downloads. As far as I can see, everything is as
it was before the site's foundations got slipped from under it.
Nothing new, and still a messy monster of a site, but hey, the "olds"
are back.
02 May 2008
Site is back up and running!
Wow. Almost a year since last we spoke. And even now this is not an
update -- it's just a note that the site has been fixed after a few
weeks of downtime. I think everything has been fixed apart from Finfin
and the Petz 4 demo, I hope so anyway. The Petz 4 demo and Finfin
downloads I hope to fix tomorrow. Please note what I say above, if my
site goes down again pop along to
this page (click)
at Blueyonder, where I hope to be able to keep you informed of
whatever is going on.
30 June 2007
Just a few tweaks to a couple of the foolers, and some links to other
places of Petz interest, for you today. My computer play time has
narrowed down to almost zero while I bottlefeed some grey furries...
First up,
The Petz5 Palace
has moved so I've changed the link on my "Small is Beautiful" page and
I've fixed up one or two other links on a couple of the links pages.
Next, I have a new links page for
PetzHexz which is there
with its affiliates to help with Petz and other virtual life games --
and the Virtual Life forum is back up!
Next, for
Babyz fooler
fans I have put up some files from the unpacked Babyz demo for those
of you who can't get the demo to install. Also on the
ViaVoice fix page, I've tried to make
things a little clearer. For people who wanted the Petz 3 playscene
Petz Vet and had trouble with the patchfile, I've uploaded the full
scene on the
Old Petz 3 Scenespage 3. That's the lot for now.
10 June 2007
As always, in a huge rush. I have for you the abandonware game
Fin Fin
This update is not actually a Petz item nor is it a Carolyn's
Creation, but it's a game that has been dumped by its craetors and is
too cute to lose -- and Sue has kindly agreed to host it. I don't
provide any help with getting it running, but I do give a link on the
download page to a very helpful site and forum.
Approx. 20 April 2007
Wups, I uploaded some bits and pieces a few days ago and forgot to
update this What's New. Things in Real Life here are going like crazy,
so the site tends to get a bit neglected but uploads still do happen
now and then. Let's see... I put up a "Pointless Info 2" page to show
that all the games can be made to work in Windows Vista -- an
Operating System that I won't touch of course, it's even worse than
XP, but I thought you'd be interested. I've made it easier to use the
Petz II demo fooler, it has a whole page to itself now. A tweak or two
on the Tutorials pages, can't remember in detail now exactly what. And
some items for Babyz players and hexers on the "newest babyz" page.
Sorry that updates are so random and far apart, but really I do stuff
for the site as and when I can. I seem to have lost my latest notes on
sites which I promised to add to my links pages, my deepest apologies
to anyone who was expecting a link to go up but really my links pages
are horribly out of date these days.
18 March 2007
It can't be March already?? Well, a lot has happened so far
this year but very little of it has been petz-related for me. All I
have for you this time is an updated link and a tweak or two on my
tutorials page (a bit more info in my "what to do if petz crashes" and
"what to do if Babyz crashes" howtos) and my Petz 4 demo-fooler page
(get to it via my Mad Scientist page). The reason for the demo-fooler
update is because it seems that demo-download sites now check to see
what part of the world you live in before letting you download the
demo, and if your area isn't right they won't let the download start.
That is plain evil -- what the heck has happened to the Internet??
Gah. Oh, and I realised I'd accidentally removed the Phantarella
player link from my main page when I moved to Boardwalkerz, so she's
back on the main page again.
For those interested in my fostercats, Paddlepat didn't make it
through. Poor baby. His sisters were spayed this week and, thank
heaven, it seems that they don't have the same latent disease that he
had. They are lively and healthy. I am now running the
"adopt-a-cat" scheme which helps to bring in some much-needed cash for the Cat Register
and Rescue, so my time is now even more limited. And a wonderful thing
happened which I'd like to shout to the heavens, but I can't put it on
the sites, aaaargh.
09 February 2007
Just to let you know I'm still here, but 2007 is being a bit of a pain
so not much is updated. I did a tiny update to the
Oddballz and oddballz fooler pages a
couple of weeks ago but am blowed if I can remember what exactly.
Updated my "new links" page. And today I have
a great new sister site --
Miranda's PAC, which will be updated shortly with new breedz etc, so
keep an eye on it! That's it for now. I've got a very very sick cat at
the moment,
PaddlepatPaddlepat needs all my care and attention but he probably won't
survive, so please keep the wee fellow in your thoughts and prayers.
07 January 2007
Already the year is starting to zoom along... But I have a small
update for Babyz players --
kitchen magnets separated. Sorry
that's it for now, I have a new cat in who needs plenty of attention.
02 January 2007
Woah, another year has started... Happy New Year! Just another small
update for Petz 4 players
a bunch of un-hidden toyz. It
doesn't include the ones which don't have on-shelf graphics, nor does
it include the four gemstones. I may get those up soon, if Real Life
doesn't take off too fast. And for Petz 3, 4 and 5 people who like to
dabble in editing the binary parts of petz with a hex editor, I've put
a little more info up on the
Rough Pet Info page.
31 December 2006
Happy Hogmanay!! I have one small updates for you -- a howto on
Trotting and Floofing .
wrote the thing ages ago and then forgot to upload it because LNZPro
had a tick-box for it. But it seems that doesn't really work, so
here's how to do it manually. Including how to make your chinchilla
Persians trot, LOL.
28 December 2006
I hope your Yuletide is going well -- that the celebrations continue
and that the coming weekend will produce a great hogmanay. I have one
or two very small updates for you --
a howto on changing the Yarn
Ball tail colour, a page of new links and a
bit more on
Ubisoft's latest "Petz" games including info
about the Windows Horsez. Finally, for those of you who are interested
in my fostercats, there's updates
at that site too.
22 December 2006
My hearty thanks to Sue for the lovely new splash page that she has
made for me, and for the terrific new link banner and button, which
are now of course on my links page -- although I've not managed to
update it apart from that...
Wishing you all a very happy holiday season and a joyous christmas,
Hanukkah, New Year, Solstice -- or whatever else you enjoy celebrating
at this time of year. Me, I like to just sit and listen to the world
turn on its axis :-) May 2007 be a good year for us all, and a fun
year for Petz and modding. I now have a wordy little treatise on
What IS "hexing?" -- MODDING!
16 December 2006
Nothing new for you at all today, I'm so sorry -- well, apart from the
Babyz ViaVoice fix which I uploaded a
while ago and forgot to mention -- I've not even managed to get the
links I promised to update for various wonderful site-owners all fixed
up, I promise I'll try to get that done on my next update. All that's
happening this time is that my site is moving over fully now to the
mirror that Sue provided for several months. Abby has been wonderful
for hosting my stuff for so long after she lost interest in Petz, and
Sue has been a trojan for seamlessly taking over the bandwidth burden.
For anyone who has been linking directly to various pages at my
Petzwarehouse site, such as the Babyz colour chart, I'm sorry -- the
link will have broken. Come along to my site here at
Boardwalkerz for
all the information and charts that used to be there.
01 December 2006
Still nothing really for you -- but I do have a brief note about the
latest Virtual life games from Ubisoft here .
They really are not a part of the Petz series, but for completeness I
mention them.
14 November 2006
Another month on, and nothing much for you -- but for Babyz fans I
have three versions of Stewie and three different "cow bells" for them
to wear on my
Newest Babyz
page. Real Life and my kitties are taking so much of my time, bless
the furry ones.
19 October 2006
Sorry it's been so long... and even now there's nothing new really,
but I've adjusted a few pages to make things a little easier to find
-- I hope. I've put the "if you can't download you're at the wrong
place" info even easier to find as well as trying to make things such
as the Babyz Fooler easier to follow. Also not new, but just to let
anyone who needs help with Tinker or LNZPro or Petza/Babyza know --
the link to his download site is on my Nicholas' Tools page, along
with links to useful info. My links pages are woefully unkempt now,
I'm sorry -- I can't face going through it all but I hope to adjust
the most obvious and add an extra page of fresh, interesting sites
soon. I've simply not been getting the time to do things properly --
take a look at
my fostercats site
for some idea of how busy I've been. And a lot has happened even since
I updated there, LOL!
30 July 2006
Yes, I know, I've not updated for two months -- I can't begin to tell
you how busy things have been here, so I've not updated either this
site or my fostercats one in all that time. As for this update, it's
just for oddballz fans. Because Daniel's site is down and now, it
seems, also Don's Amberoddballz, plus nowhere else on the net seems to
have the demos, I've uploaded a demo and the official breedz to this
site, also Ron Tigat's Oddballz Eggz Scrambler. You will find these
things on the
Oddballz Fixes and
Oddballz Fooler pages.
Also uploaded on the new p2, p3, p4 and p5 pages are the skorch
breedfiles for Catz games. They are on the relevant New Breedz pages,
and the sound files are on the species sounds page. These were once
exclusive to Daniel's site but since I created them and his site is
down they have come home to me.
I wanted to do more, but that's it for now. Hopefully not so long
before the next update. Must dash.
21 May 2006
Sorry, a late update and I've not got much for you -- Real Life has
been getting in the way big-time and I've only managed to update my
My foster-cat site
since I last updated here -- and even there I'm not up to date. And
I'm not managing to do half of what I've been promising people on this
update, sorry. But there are some little things.
A bunch of experimental babyz, and more of my "Harem set" on the
Newest Babyz
page. Yes, I know there aren't any pictures and that should have the
harem clothes on the clothes page. I don't have time to do it
right!
On the
Team creations
page you'll find a new Catz breed made from Casey Miller's pet. Also
there, my few Unibreedz -- Artie, Honkie and Sauropod -- should be
fixed for cross-breeding as they were re-done with the latest
LNZPro.
I've put the catz 1 demo up for download on my
Catz 1 demo fooler page.
If you go to my sister site,
Sue Briley's Babyz Punked, you'll find there a couple of unusual babyz and a babyz clothing
item, for Naturists, made by myself.
I've got a couple of great cyberpets from Dulua Land up on my
Cyberpets page.
NOT YET done -- a whole bunch of howtos, which will eventually go on a
"pot-luck" page, more half-done hexed stuff, and fixing up my links
pages. I don't know when these will get done, but one thing I will try
to get fixed and up soon is Miranda's brilliant sounds for Kirby.
03 March 2006
As always later than intended, but I added what I believe to be the
final soundfixes to the
Babyz soundfix for XP page. The
new downloads and replacements are marked with the date beside them,
so if you downloaded most of the files before today, just download
those which are marked. My friend gave the whole thing a quick test,
and with any luck this will prevent any sound-related freezes in your
game now. Remember, people, you do need to also download 9 toyz from
Twilight's site -- the link is clearly on my soundfix page. And yay
for Sandi of
Forever Babyz
-- she gave an award to myself and Twilight, and I'm displaying it
with pride :-) Thank you so much!
27 February 2006
Well, I fell over today and twisted and bruised me poor arthritic old
bones, so not as much done as I'd hoped. But I have a couple of great
breedz for you on the Team Creations,
"With Sue Briley and Nintendo-6444"
page,
and yesterday and today I added to the
Babyz soundfix for XP -- have
not been able to test the latest fixes myself yet but have had good
reports so far. I am intending to fine-tune the soundfix over the next
day or two.
25 February 2006
I know, I know, I've not done anything much this month so far. Real
Life has been taking almost all my time. All I have for you today is a
Babyz soundfix for XP, but with
any luck that'll at least make many of the Babyz Commumity happy.
07 February 2006
Once again, I've not managed to update as I wanted to. I've been
having some Real Life difficulties, so updates are of necessity going
to be slow for the near future -- but they will happen, truly. But for
now, great news! Not only do we have
a new version of Tinker, but
also Nicholas has
his own site.
The latest versions of his software will always be found there :-)
Also there are some updates on the links pages.
28 January 2006
Yes, I know -- I've not updated in ages. There have been all sorts of
Real Life crises, all getting resolved okay but taking time, so all my
wonderful hexing plans have had to wait. The Great Present Caper is of
course finished, but I'm making my donations for Petz games available
for you all. You can download them when you find the picture of a
present. Also downloadable now, from my babyz toyz pages, is the
Christmas Spoon that I made for DRN's Advent Calendar. I've fixed up
some items on my links pages, and got a new "Sister". And finally,
some weird and wacky babyz for your downloading pleasure on the
pasted-heads page.
Coming soon (I hope) will be some "Team Creation" breedz, for some of
which I just need to get the pages done.
02 January 2006
Nicholas has updated
Petza to fix the Petz II and
Babyz bugs. It works beautifully now -- go get it!! That's it for
today, but pretty good all the same :-)
01 January 2006
Happy New Year!!
So I didn't get the hexing time I'd hoped for this past week... But we
have from the wonderful Nicholas -- another new version of Petza from
his Nicholas' Tools pages. This
update, version 2.0.2, fixes some problems for Petz 3, 4 and 5
players. On my machine it crashes in Babyz and Petz II, so I've left
2.0.1 up for you as well just in case the same happens with you. I've
also got some changes on my links pages, a new sister, and a changed
link to Miranda's Kirby page on my P3,4,5 LNZ breedz page.
26 December 2005
The Great Present Caper is apparently delayed until tomorrow. Should
be good anyway! And now, from Nicholas -- a new version of Petza from
his
Nicholas' Tools pages. This
update, version 2.0.1, fixes the "weather" bug for Petz 5 players!
24 December 2005
The Great Present Caper should be under way -- good hunting! The big
Christmas present for you at this site today is from Nicholas -- a new
version of Petza from his
Nicholas' Tools pages. There's
some good stuff in it, including a great new feature for Babyz
players; you can at last add new playscenes! Remember that you will
need to make them non-overwriting with their own name and ID numbers
of course. Apart from that, my
Cyberpet has grown up at last,
there are a couple of updated links, and I've
had a nice time with my
"gifts from friends" pages. Yes, I meant to
get a lot of hexed items up, but in the end I only managed to complete
some presents for the Great Present Caper. Am hoping for some peaceful
days over this coming week to finish off other goodies. Merry
Yueltide!
07 December 2005
Just the Great Present Caper notice above, and a couple of updated
links; Miranda's PAC on the main links page ,
and Tigger's site on the babyz links page.
04 December 2005
The last of the demo-foolers is now online, thanks to Daniel! This
time it's the turn of Mac players of the games. Get the
Catz 1 demo fooler , and the
Dogz 1 demo fooler -- and last
but not least, the
Oddballz demo fooler! Now
everyone can join the fun :-)
03 December 2005
Another one of my toyz converted on my
petz 5 page -- the freedom fish to
overwrite your fish bowl. I'll be converting the playscene for it
soon, but that's not done yet. The big thing for you today is the
Catz 1 demo fooler (yay!) and
my own Dogz 1 demo fooler,
which allows you to go back to the adoption centre and take Daphne's
quiz. I have captured the flavour of the Catz 1 site as it was when
the game first came out, complete with some little surprises, a
find-it and the part which I personally adored -- the
VRML temple. I totally loved that
thing, and I can still play it on my old browser. You may not be able
to see it, which would be a shame, but I do have links to viewers on
that page. If you can install the Cosmo player, that would be optimum.
If you do manage to play it, the links within it have been updated to
links that actually work. Also, all actual links on the pages should
lead to interesting things. Anyway, have fun!
28 November 2005
Managing to get some stuff done at last. Some conversions... The
Secret Wood, with its toyz, for you on the
Petz 5 Playscene page. Some of
my toyz converted on my petz 5 page,
including a gem hairball for dracoz (I intend to improve the P3 and P4
ones some day too). An exciting new toy for
petz II -- fishes swimming in and
out of a tank, yay! I intend to make a Petz 3 version of that soon.
Also for Petz II, the Fishie breed and a
scene backdrop for the fish
petz and toyz to play in. Oh, and a couple of versions of the
"surprise box" for Babyz, mostly as a
service for hexers who requested it. Plus again a few updated tweaks
over the past couple of weeks, on tutorials and links pages, which I
can't remember in detail, sorry, but do check out the "small is
beautiful" links page.
22 October 2005
A few more things for you from all the stuff I'm trying to finish... A
brand new Butterfly Chaser breed, with some finishing-off by me on
this "Team" page. A few
pages of detailed info on using LNZPro on
this tutorials page, plus
a few updated tweaks here and there on tutorials and links pages which
I can't recall in detail.
18 October 2005
Time races past as ever. I've got a few things for you... some links
and updates on all three links pages. three new babyz from the
new babyz page. This picture shows just
one of them :-)
An update to the texture List info on the
2nd LNZ info chunk page -- thanks to
Lynelle for pointing out the missing bits -- and a
new breed from Lynelle who has made creative
use of the Oddballz-petz breedz and made a brand new one of her
own.
Oh, and my cyberpet has grown a little :-) I
tried to get more up, but constant interruptions today (and over the
weekend) have got in the way. Expect some new Butterfly Chaser breedz
soon.
05 October 2005
For your downloading pleasure... Yet more updated versions of Pet
Workshop and of LNZPro, from the
Nicholas' Tools pages :-) Also
some links on the
"small is beautiful" page.
04 October 2005
The most amazing tool -- a brand new version of pet Workshop! Does
tattoos, paint ballz and lots of other good stuff.
Pet Workshop page.
02-03 October 2005
A fantastic new version of LNZPro on the, yes,
LNZPro page. A brilliant new
idea and base baby, also, from L41N (Wardah Ahmar) is downloadable
from the babyz tutorials page, specifically from
its own page. I added a bit of a
tidy-up to the baby file to make it a little clearer, and tried to
explain how it's used and the potential that it has :-) Finally, a bit
of info for people who might have been pulling out hair trying to make
hexed Petz playscenes show up -- on the
Petz tutorials page -- and extra
information on passing on colours in the
"fixes for 2nd-gen problems"
page.
29 September 2005
A new version of Tinker on the (heh)
Tinker page. On the Real Life
front, I've recently updated my
fostercats site
too. Must dash, chores to do... Happy daze...
26 September 2005
Over the past week or so, a few odd bits and pieces got uploaded here
and there mostly on my
Tutorials pages. Firs off, a grand
Variations tutorial by Nicholas, which is on my main tutorials page
and on his Pet Workshop page.
Also on that main page are a new "What to do if Petz won't start or
crashes" FAQ and a similar one for Babyz, plus I've updated my LNZPro
tips. On the Petz-specific page I've put a howto on making non-hidden
emoticon variations in a breed, how to change and expand tails for
dogz and catz, giving your petz' eyes or "irises" a texture (includes
example petz), and putting bunny ears on a Dane. The perspicacious
amongst you will have spotted that I've got a new page called
Rough Pet Info which is exactly
what it says. It breaks a pet file into sections so that you can see
the structure, and see where the important parts are when it comes to
cloning a corrupted pet. It really is rough -- a series of screengrabs
-- so if you don't understand anything about pet files it won't help.
But it's a handy reference that I made for myself ages ago and I'm
sharing with you now. I'm also sharing with you a set of lists of
Bodyarea numbers that I intended to put in with some "howtos" but as
I've not managed to get those written, you'll find the lists on my
Vital LNZ info main page. I added
some info into the relevant LNZ chunk also. Slight improvement to my
Petz 5 demo-fooler . Errr...
I think that's the lot, it's been a weird couple of weeks and
difficult to do more than snatch a moment or two at the computer now
and then.
15 September 2005
Just a real quickie -- a new brilliant version of LNZPro on
Nicholas' Tools pages! Edit
.baby files, and make Unibreed versions of your breedz that should
work on Non-English petz 3 games as well!
11 September 2005
New bug-fix version of Pet Workshop -- and a great new beta-test
version of LNZPro on
Nicholas' Tools pages! Note
that the LNZPro has not been tested thoroughly, but I think you'll
like the newest feature. New links on mymain links
page, a couple of them in the tutorials etc section to help people who
ask about website making, and one of them is also in the section
called "Sites for "realistic" petz standards, and petz clubs" because
it's a promising new breed registry site which also offers hosting of
breedz. The week went by too fast, still none of the other things that
I meant to do are finished, sorry. But my
fostercats site
was updated a couple of days ago for those who are interested.
04 September 2005
New versions of Petza/babyza, LNZPro 2, and Pet Workshop on
Nicholas' Tools pages! New
features and bugfixes... I'm so trying to get other things up, odds
and bods of my own, almost finished but not quite, hopefully this
coming week will see some goodies.
24 August 2005
A new version of Petza/babyza on
Nicholas' Tools pages. This has
no new features, it's another version he's made to try and help track
down the problem that some people have with it, so if it's working for
you there's no need to download. Also one link removed from my
"small is beautiful" page; after I had
given them info on how to make files available for download, Sarah and
Ruby proceeded to "hotlink" to other sites' breedz. folks, this is a
huge no-no on the Internet; don't do it! They appear to no longer be
answering emails, so until they do and fix the problem, their link
will stay down.

Whew, that was a tough few days -- it looked as if Petzwarehouse was
down for good, and I was worried about Abby. But last night I heard
from Abby, she's fine :-D and the site should be up today
*happy-dance*
Meanwhile, my good pal Sue picked up my broken pieces and generously
offered to mirror my site; see the link above :-)
Updates to the site are a couple of
Nicholas' Tools -- go fetch the
latest Pet Workshop and LNZPro 2. Also there are some new links to
great sites on my
"small is beautiful" and
babyz links pages, and a few small tweaks
on the tutorials pages.

Not much, just a howto for people who are having difficulty working
out how to use Tinker and LNZPro 2. On my
Tutorials page. For those who are
interested in my fostercats site, I'm going to update
there also
today, with some cheerful news and a new family member. All a bit
rushed, Real Life is running away with me :-)

Yup, another version of Petza/Babyza, version 1.1.4; also another
version of Pet Workshop, also version 1.1.4. As always, they are on
Nicholas' Tools pages. I've got
a small howto on the tutorials,
Petz-specific page because I've been
asked a few times how to change the default pet name at the AC. I have
a bunch of other howtos waiting to be polished up and uploaded,
they're too rough at the moment. Some nice shiny new links on the
"small is beautiful" and
babyz links pages, you really want to check
them out! Also, for my own pleasure, I have a
Cyberpet page for my site (thanks, Rachel!)
and some lovely updates on my
"gifts from friends" pages. Nothing else for
you today, but for those who are interested in my fostercats, I
recently had another update
there also
but be warned, the latest update was quite sad.

Another version of Petza/Babyza, this time a "bugfix" version 1.4.3
thanks to people who sent Nicholas their bug reports, and to Nicholas
too of course :-) as usual on
Nicholas' Tools page; thanks
yet again, Nicholas! Also another neat link on my
"small is beautiful" links page.

Nearly 3 weeks since I last uploaded... So sorry! Well, today I've
uploaded Pet Workshop version 1.1.3 on
Nicholas' Tools page; thanks,
Nicholas! Various improvements for the program's fans, so go see! One
or two little tweaks here and there on the site too, including
adjustments to the Petz 4, Babyz and Petz 5 foolers. Also some updated
links on my links pages, and for those who follow my fostercats I've
recently updated
there also.
Oh, and I don't think I mentioned earlier that I am hosting
Iola's Miniature Bows for Dogz on my
Off-site specials, as she has had some server problems and in fact had lost all of
them. Well, they are all back online again now :-)

We had Live 8 up here in Edinburgh today -- nearly a quarter of a
million people marching to Make Poverty History -- yay!
But, back to Petz -- we have version 1.4.2 of Petza.toy (which is also
Babyza of course) for you on
Nicholas' Tools page. A minor
update, but hopefully a useful one. Also, Kirby fans check out the
link on my
P3,4,5 LNZ breedz page --
Miranda
has made some great variations! I meant to get some other things
uploaded, but the day has been chaos -- well, the whole week has
really. Hope to do more soon.
