Well today I decided to pull over all my old posts from the blog on Camsigh. Using the export and import features of WordPress made it a breeze. Now all I have to do is go through all the posts, remove a few that are now redundant, put each post into the correct categories and […]
Well after the trip on the boat last weekend I went down will the mother of all colds. I was OK on Tuesday but by the time Wednesday rolled out I was feeing stuffed up and my throat was hurting. Woke up on Thursday morning feeling like a train wreck : tonsils all inflamed, no […]
Well if all goes to plan we are off to the boat on Thursday night for a few “relaxing” days away from work. I say relaxing because we haven’t quite decided how much to push. If the weather is lousy too hot me might not go far, if the weather conditions are just right then […]
When we first moved into the house back in 2002 there was a Telewest cable installation. We had it re-activated and used it for a bit. When we came to re-arrange the living room we asked Telewest how much it would cost to move the isolator box. They told us it would cost approx £100. […]

Well life in Cheltenham returns to normal. All the race goers who piled into town for the Gold Cup have now left, or are in the process of leaving. There were 52,000 for the first 3 days and 65,000 on the last day – still they had good weather for it, and I’m sure they […]
I’ve coded up a couple of mods for phpbb and The total down loads of these two mods is not huge but its not zero. There was a bug in the Registration Variable MOD that no-one noticed.. or if they did notice they didn’t think to tell me. If I download a MOD, especially a […]
I’d been looking round for quite a bit for a nice acronym explainer for PHPBB… I found quite a few but none of them did what I wanted. So I took a couple of existing mods and hacked them round a bit and have produced just what I wanted: 1) Centrally maintained definitions 2) Proper […]
