sa 7 Jul | We've only just noticed that Eric Sykes died Wednesday.

th 23 Oct | 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. |

01:30pm Ah well, mother said there would be days like this. The database software on the new host is a newer version than the old host and attempts to post on the board get an error message. Working on it ... they're probably thinking about a siesta in Salobreña right now (it's 2:30 there) ... we would say "Apologies for any inconvenience" but we're not Icelandic and we don't have your money ... |
