Captain CPS-X kindly did a new logo for the site so I have replaced the old one with a nice snazzy new one! Thanks Cap.

I updated the site CSS a bit, mainly to support centring the site now that higher resolutions are more common. I had to update some of the XHTML output as well to fix some issues caused by the new CSS but the result is pretty good.

I've tested in Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 7. I even tested in an old version of Mozilla (1.7) I have around and it looked fine in that too, surprisingly!

Finished a site tidy-up which was long overdue! Most of it was just house-keeping (such as fixing the XHTML validation) and fixing some issues with the captcha routines.

One thing that is now working though is the search function. I finally got around to writing it - it currently searches in articles, comments, and galleries for whatever you ask it to look for and then highlights your criteria in yellow when you view the results. Makes a nice little addition to the site and now it's getting quite big it should prove useful.

I also tidied the Archives at the side as they were getting a bit long - now it shows only one year in full, saving quite a bit of screen space.

The only other new thing is that the site now supports playing FLV and SWF files. Currently, this is only used in the private area (you didn't know about that? - this site does much more than at first glance!), but I might have uses for it in the future.

Site is back online. My host upgraded the server which they told me about and it shouldn't have caused a problem. What they neglected to tell me was that they were changing my dedicated IP. I've updated the DNS records and it appears to be propagating quite quickly!

Well, little Evie has finally arrived. She was born last Wednesday and was two weeks late and weighed in at a very healthy 10 pounds, 2 ounces. Gemma did amazingly well to deliver naturally and mother and baby are both fine and well. Evie is a joy and very good - although the waking up at night is taking some getting used to!

Obviously, things will slow down here for a while now but I will still do the odd bit here and there.

Well, I'm amazed. In amongst all the crap in my inbox something rather funny was lurking that I just had to share.....

Oh, I'm not a Chelsea fan either, my old emulation nick Treble Winner should give my team away - just in case it doesn't, then this will.

Site is now backup after the weekend's problems. Hopefully that should be an end to any down-time.

Warning, this is going to be a serious rant, so if you are of a nervous disposition, look away now! Although, if you are thinking about moving to the borough of Wigan then you may just want to read on....

Greetings all. Just a quick post to announce my engagement to a wonderful woman. Got engaged to Gemma last week in Venice and I couldn't be happier.
