She has been seen on such hit TV shows as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, ER, The West Wing and Law & Order, as well as indie movies like Memento and Food for the Heart.

History  

Galleries Return

February 25, 2024

The galleries are (kind of) back. They show up on pages where we have them only. The gallery is powered by the new Hugo gallery shortcode, and the images are hosted on the site itself.

Moving to Hugo

August 8, 2024

Following a short legal battle, the gallery was removed and the site was moved to Hugo, a static site generator, in the interests of simplicity and security.

Back to CSI

February 12, 2021

Jorja Fox returned to CSI, joining the first season of CSI: Vegas. The site was updated to reflect the new show, and the gallery was expanded to include the new series.

The End of CSI

September 27, 2015

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation ended, and the site transitioned from a blog to a library based on Hugo, of all of Jorja’s advocacy and humanitarian work, as well as episode and movie recaps with grading.

DreamHost

October 15, 2013

The site was moved to DreamHost, and the site was re-branded as “Fans of LeFox” (aka FLF), a shout-out to Jorja’s online handle on Twitter.

Meeting Jorja Fox

February 28, 2010

Mika met Jorja Fox in person, at a Humane Society event in Chicago. Jorja was kind enough to invite Mika and her partner to the event, and they spent the evening talking about pets, meeting Billy Petersen, and all around having a wonderful evening.

The Forums

November 15, 2007

The forums were closed due to lack of posting and support. In 2008, the forums returned, this time using bbPress as our code, but that only lasted till 2010, with the BuddyPress experiment, back to bbPress from 2011 to the end of 2012, and eventually removed it all together.

Leaving Las Vegas

October 15, 2007

Jorja announced she was leaving CSI, and the site nearly crashed under the load.

Open Source

October 15, 2005

The site was moved to a new CMS, WordPress, and the initial concept of the library was born, powered by MediaWiki. Over the next year, the gallery was added and moved from a custom solution to Gallery2, to Coppermine, and finally to ZenPhoto.

Growing Pains

January 1, 2002

The site struggled with the popularity of Jorja Fox, and the limitations of low end hosting. Finally the decision was made to move to a larger host, LiquidWeb. The forums were moved to a new software, and the site was re-branded as “Jorja Fox Online” (aka JFO).

A Domain of Our Own

October 17, 2001

The site was moved to its own domain, jorjafox.net, and the name was changed to ‘Jorja Fox Fansite’. The site was now a full-fledged fan site, with a focus on Jorja Fox’s career. The initial design was a simple table-based layout, with discussion forums and a guestbook.

Self Hosting

October 15, 1998

Feeling the limits of free hosting, the site was moved to a sub-set of Mika’s personal domain (ipstenu.org).

Free Hosting

April 20, 1998

Mika put up the first page of the ‘Jorja Fox/ER Website’ on her college web account, mostly to practice HTML skills for a job. It attracted attention, and she moved the site to a free host.

Initial launch

December 1, 1996

A simple filmography page was created by Mika Epstein (aka Ipstenu) for a class project. It was hosted on the University of California Santa Cruz’s servers. She got a Pass (UCSC was pass/fail at the time).
