You may think we're geeks but just imagine what the uber geeks at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) must be like. W3C specify standards
and if your web site complies with the standards it makes the world a better place. We spent a very long day yesterday replacing embeds with objects, includes with nested templates, nowraps with nowrap="nowrap"s and eventually we ended up with a wobbly looking home page but it did W3C validate ... just made a small change and it doesn't validate anymore, well see for yourself ... then we fixed it. | |

If you post a message now it will be lost when the database is restored. 11:15am That's an improvement already, the software uploaded in one hit. 10:30am This web site moved host last night, the bulletin board will be back later this morning. |
