It is now 2am and I have just about got everything working. I am aware that it is a little slim on the content side but it will be finished off over the next few days. After hacking the gallery like a lumberjack, I am pleased with the way it turned out… just need to sort the content along with the rest of my site… hope you all like it and enjoy my random images along the top. I will detail my progress from this point on! Good Night!

After about 2 months of constant work, my new design is almost completed. The hardest challenge I have faced on this project is getting the site to display correctly in both IE and Firefox. The other part is actually creating the content to go with the site which, really, is the most important part!! I expect there to be some disruption for maybe an hour two as the change takes place but I am quite sure it will be at some late hour and no-one will notice a thing. Keep your eyes open over the next few days!

A nice pic by Dave when he, Leigh and myself got downright brutal with a machine polisher and a bit of elbow grease! The Integra is for sale!!

What fun can be had with Linux. For the first time in maybe a year, I had to delve into my webserver operating system and make some changes. It has been such a long time that I had to re-download PuTTy to get access as it was nowhere in sight… it had obviously been lost in the many re-installs of my Windows PC!! As I could not remember the ports I used for VNC, I jumped into BASH and the Vi editor to make various changes to config files and the file system. You know, it was actually quite good fun. The best bit though was that I got everything working that I needed to and as of yet, didn’t break anything in the process.

An excellent Windows shell extension that allows you to create a storage drive from your Gmail account. You can find further details and download a copy from viksoe.dk. This seems like a great use of that 1GB space that we have!!

My new ‘Motorola Razr V3′ is proving to be a very capable phone. I struggled with it for a day initially because the ergonomics are completely different to the family of Sony Ericssons I have previously owned. All it takes to get to grips with technology is sitting down with the, dare I say it, user manual (Honestly, I very rarely do this as can be proved by the number of problems I have!). You can personalise the phone in a lot of ways, choosing what buttons will do what and when they should do it. The phonebook took some time to convert from Outlook but now my contacts are much better organised. The only issue I am seeing at the moment is battery life. It has only been charged a few times and as such will not be at its peak but still, it has been dying after two days of heavy use. My Sony could get through at least 4 days with Bluetooth switched on. It may have something to do with the 100m range of the RAZR vs the 10m range of the T610. Either way, I tend to charge the phone each night so I don’t think I will have too much of an issue. There can be no argument on build quality, it is the nicest phone I have used in that respect and the image quality of the screen is great. The final test will come later when I get to try out my new Bluetrek G2 Bluetooth headset that I bought from Mobilefun. With any luck it will all go to plan… I will write my views here later.
