Time for another update

It has been many weeks since my last post, as usual I have been busy with many things and often away from net access. So time for a little news. The site has been upgraded to the latest version of wordpress. Given that its taken me less than a week to apply an upgrade isn’t [...]

Code Snippet Plugin

Hopefully by the end of the year I might publish one or two of my scripts/programs on the site. Lines and lines of same colour text is hard to analyse when trying to understand a program, every programmer will use an editor with syntax highlighting given the chance. So to assist those reading code here [...]

A Few Graphical Tweaks

There were a few things that were bugging me about the sites general appearance. I spent some time today amending them. Gone are the boxes around the posts, instead a more relaxed style has been adopted. The text has undergone a little reworking, Tahoma is now the main font replacing Verdana. Comments are welcome as [...]

I’ve been quiet again

Looks like another significant amount of time has passed since I last posted on the site. I have been my usual busy self, getting along with other things on my todo list. I have spent some time looking at what I want to do to improve the site. I had considered switching from WordPress to [...]

Server Failure

Sorry to anybody trying to access the site over the weekend and was unable to do so. It appears my host suffered a failing server that proved problematic to fix. Hopefully everything is working again but I expect the odd period of downtime over the next 24-48 hours while the new server settles in.

Time for an update

After frequently posting in January I failed to maintain the pace in Febuary and March. With the end of March in sight I feel it is about time to pick up the pace again. Alot has happened and its about time I made a note of it all. To begin with the site has had [...]

Progress Report

It’s been a long day of work on the site, many things have changed. There are still things about the design I want to change, but on the whole it looks better than it did 24 hours ago. I decided to split the data in the right column into boxes to breakup the solid block [...]

New Site Logo

As much as i liked the old image, it was too big. During the site upgrade I noticed my bandwidth usage logs. Since the introduction of the Lightning header the bandwidth usage per month had shotup by over 40%. This was getting on towards 50% of the monthly hosting allowance and I decided something needed [...]

WordPress 2.0

Over the past few days I have upgraded the site to WordPress 2.0. On the face of it not alot has changed but behind the scenes its brilliant. Apart from making it easier to create posts there is a cross site anti-spam system. It works by keeping a master list of comment spam from other [...]
