The spirit lives on! The exciting research. The thrilling diatribe against The System. Back then, I had to be tactful because I had a reputation to protect as a consulting engineer. Not anymore! I’m retired and on the VA payroll.
The Backstory
I bought the inviticus.com domain after I nearly got expelled from graduate school at the University of Texas for having my energy conservation book on the university servers, with links to purchase the book at Amazon. (I mean, really? It’s not as if every faculty in the history of academia doesn’t plug their books on their free university server space…)
The domain was quite famous in the UFO/paranormal/X-Files-esque community. It took over five years to hand-code that website and create all the content.
The vintage 2005 website is still online at a new domain – The Texas X Files while inviticus.com is set up with the latest and greatest.
The WH Clark Research Network
The new WordPress-based network has expanded beyond a single domain. Just like The Texas X Files back then, there’s a wide range of content covering all the challenges of manned deep-space exploration. Much of the new content created over the last 20 years has been made into formal books, typeset nicely using InDesign.
There are lots of tech books.
Also non-tech books. Some are non-fiction, others are novellas, and there are many screenplays.
There are eight individual domains now, each establishing its own authority. When you’re on the celestial mechanics domain, for example, you can explore just the tech and not worry about the extreme malice at Texas. Inviticus.com is dedicated to my thriller screenplays.
There are many links between the sections, but you always remain inside the same basic framework. All the sites are built using the MH Magazine theme, which I have been using for ten years now. If you get lost, you can always return using the main navigation menu at the top of the page.
The advantage for me is that once I get all the books and tech papers on the sites, I can keep adding to the material with regular posts and updates. In other words, the research goes on!
