New Timeline Software: Time.Graphics

I finally found a timeline generator that I like enough to start building out TheOfficialTimline.com.  I added Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob so that I'm caught up with what I had in the draft timeline.  Next, I added some dates from King David to the Dot Com Crash.  I then added every date I could find about Apophis 99942, the Asteroid.  

You can see it at https://theofficialtimeline.com/  

The software (web app) I used to build it is called Time.Graphics.  It's not perfect and I'm looking forward to requesting some new features from them next year.  I like the interface and it's fun to build.

The Official Timeline is Launched

The site is officially launched.  I set up the domain name and hosted the front page on the servers with SSL and HTTPS redirect.  The Blogger blog is set up and configured to use blog.theoffialtimeline.com and to use SSL with HTTPS redirect.  I created our first page to house the ongoing list of dates added to the timeline in the beginning.  And now, I am writing this first blog post.  A little more adjustment to the hosted home page and I'll be done and ready to crack a beer. Just a note about the timeline - I decided to start with the printing press.  For now, I am beginning with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob from the early parts of the Bible.  There may be earlier humans in the Bible, but I can add them later as long as I can nail down specific dates. Come back for more as I start to pull this all together. -TJ Tam

Apophis 99942, the Asteroid will be passing about 30K miles from Earth within the next 5 years.  Here are some key dates:   Apophis 99942 was discovered by Tucker, Tholen, and Bernardi at Kitt Peak National Observatory  [19 Jun 2004] Apophis 99942 is on the Torino scale  [27 Dec 2004 - 31 Aug 2006] -- Apophis set the record for the highest rating ever on the Torino scale, reaching level 4 on December 27, 2004.  August 2006 when the probability that Apophis would pass through the keyhole was determined to be very small, Apophis's rating on the Torino scale was lowered to zero. Asteroid gets the number 99942  [24 Jun 2005] -- Once its orbit was sufficiently well calculated, it received the permanent number 99942 on June 24, 2005. Apophis is named after the Egyptian God of Chaos ( also known as Apep )  [19 Jul 2005] -- Receiving a permanent number made it eligible for naming by its discoverers, and they chose the name "Apophis" on July 19, 2005 Poss...
