Sunny Day! At the start of this new year I spent some time working on my web site after it had been dormant for some time. I would like to invite those who are new to the list and those who have not been to my site for a while to visit The Sundial Primer. Some of the areas that have been modified or expanded include:
There are now short descriptions of 36 different kinds of sundials. This includes many illustrations and 3-dimensional CAD renderings of sundials. The 2009 EoT Booklet and Calendar are now available. Both of these were very popular last year. And if you are interested in a pocket sized booklet that gives the average value of the EoT and the sun's declination over the period of 2000 to 2047, Valentin Hristov has kindly allowed me to offer this on the same page. Be sure to take the link to visit "My Stuff", which is Valentin's web page. There is a lot of good "stuff" there. There are a number of new paper and styrofoam sundial kits available. You will find kits for 21 different kinds of sundials. With the variety of designs available for many of the kits and the availability of kits for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres there are total of 74 models that can be built at this time. I have a couple more on my list that I plan to work on. Valentin Hristov has completed some new macros and they are available on the DeltaCad Sundial Macros pages. There is a new cylinder sundial macro that will design a sundial for a semi-circular wall. This is very useful if you are looking for a unique garden wall that you would like to build your yard. He has also written a macro for a horizontal double box altitude sundial. He has written 19 extraordinary macros so there are no doubt others that you have not seen. Who knows, you might just find something else that is new to you. After all, The Sundial Primer now offers over 150 web pages of dialling information for your browsing pleasure. And there's more to come! Stop by any time. www.mysundial.ca/tsp/tsp.html Happy Dialling!
