I originally wanted to call my site "Spike's Crypt" since it works well with my company's name "Java's Crypt" , but I found another site with that same name on BuffySearch.Com

Then I thought about the character of Spike and what he has gone through since we first saw him in season two on Buffy. The Chip that the Initiative implanted in his head during season four has been the catalyst for a great number of changes in his character and it's was a great way to be able to keep his character on the show and not kill him off after the original plan of a half dozen or so episodes. I think that The Chip is one of the main reasons behind the way he has developed from the purely bloodthirsty (and at times romantic) vamp to the more fleshed out character we see in season five-six (that we love and hate, but can't look away from). The other main reason IMHO is his developing respect and love for The Slayer, Buffy Summers.

Until August 4, 2002 this site was frame based, but I decided to go non-frames and use tables for the layout.

On November 8, 2002, version 3 of my website layout and graphics were created and uploaded. I went from the frames layout to my present tables layout.

On February 8, 2003, version 4 of my website layout and graphics were created and uploaded.

On August 1, 2004, version 5 of my website graphics were created and uploaded.

In several sections on this site you will find certain ideas, topics or Q&A repeated several times. I decided to put as many JM quotes as I could find on the topics that interest me. Although people get interviewed and asked the same or similar questions repeatedly, the answers are not always the same. We recall different things and might add some details. So I've collected them together to try and get some more detail.

Well if you had a chance to go over and visit my home page The Georgian' Catacombs you will notice that other then link pages it's filled with tons of quotes, songs or sayings. I've collected quotes and snippets from around me since I was in high school and I decided several years ago that in order not to loose them I'd collect them together and create a website. There is a great deal of wisdom and brilliance that can be found in the words of a person who sees life differently from ourselves. We can learn from other's experiences and insight. Quotes can make you smile, be in awe or let something finally click and make sense. Amazing things can be found in television and movies. Too often the writer is treated badly and not respected, but have a voice that must be heard and appreciated. You will notice that I have many movie and television quotes, put simply, I love movies and I read a great deal.

This site is mostly made up of quotes from interviews, online chats and question periods and articles. I think that we can learn a great deal by listening to people or experiencing the art they create. I find that when I enjoy an actor's or writer's work I like to know a bit more about them and how they think. I enjoy knowing how a TV show or movie is created and what goes on behind the scenes. So I've tried to gather together information and quotes to try and accomplish this and to learn more.

I will continue to add information to this site from time to time. If you have any suggestions for links, new images, or to report a bad link, please send me an e-mail at spikeschip@javascrypt.com

My files are presently located on five different accounts (3 servers):
- my own domain and main server (http://www.javascrypt.com/spikeschip/) My site.
- Spikeschip21 (http://www.geocities.com/spikeschip21/) Misc files and PS7 zipped brush files.
- Spikeschip42 (http://www.geocities.com/spikeschip42/) Misc files and PS6 zipped brush files.
- Spikeschip84 (http://www.geocities.com/spikeschip84/) My image galleries.
- Java42 (http://pages.infinit.net/java42/) Images (awards/nominations, general images and text files for the articles)

The last four accounts are for all the files that are either too large, numerous or take up too much of my domain's monthly bandwidth. I am the webmaster for all of them and the index pages that are located on the last four all lead back to my main site, nothing is lost.

All of the information on this site comes from around the WWW and I've tried to refer or link back to the source as often as possible. I started to gather most of what's on this site well before I decided to put it together, so not all of the sources have links.

There are a few pages where you can find the title and link to an online article. These are the original links where I found the articles, but there is a chance that they are no longer online. I provided the articles in text format in case they are no longer available from their online source. I do not intend any copyright infringement. I will gladly remove any offending material at the copyright holder's request or add a proper link or reference if that is preferred.
