Welcome to Weston Park: "Welcome to weston-park.com. You will require the Flash 5 plug-in to view this site. "
Oh nice one! I thought I was up to date with flash... Never mind. When you're more welcoming I'll maybe come back... Not. Dickheads.
I wanted more info on the Festival of Transport: "Great family day out with over 1,500 vintage & classic cars, bikes, trucks, buses and tractors on display, alongside arena entertainment." On the 31st of March.

Virtual Shropshire. A short history of Dawley: "The parish of Dawley lay within the forest of Mount Gilbert, now known as the Wrekin, until 1301 when it was disaforrested. "
Not that I'm from Dawley, but still interesting. Though, the photo seems a little flattering.

Lots of people said they'd come and visit and try out making their own site. Someone said they'd visit the Villa blogs... He's a season ticket holder too. BTW they're going to add Spurs, and... and... oh, another four or five teams, they tell me, but it goes in one ear -- can't stand footie. "Oh really," I say, "how interesting."
Oh, and the IoD presentation is here.
Oh (2), I'm mostly over at the dot co dot uk, at the moment. But also at my personal site. Not so much at war, and very little at sex these days.
I wonder if I should blog more Shropshire stuff, as I'm selling to the immediate locality? I wonder what's out there?

John Robb's Radio Weblog: "One of the most powerful aspects of K-Logging (weblogs for knowledge management and collaboration) is the ability to create knowledge networks. These networks make it easy for individual K-Loggers and readers to simply "find the good stuff." While centralized public networks are great for unaffiliated individuals, most companies and organizations need the privacy, focus, and control a self-managed network can provide."
John Robb's at it again. Pushing Radio... Well it's nice and the stuff they're building on top of it (Jabber, particularly) but 90% of what punters want, IMHO, can be had through a Manila server. It's got all the rankings and referers, and best of all is that it is centralised. For an admin geezer, that would be a big plus. For the end users, doing it through a browser without installing new software is also a massive plus. The only problems I've had with running a Manila server over the past two and a half years is the massive amount of traffic a site like the Aston Villa fans' site can attract at lunch time, that's a big spike. But an intranet for a medium sized organisation (large ones would want to spend lots more money) would be just fine, just perfect.

Benchmarks demolish Apple speed boasts: "Bested in the floating point tests by an eighteen month old Pentium III-based machine. In the integer tests, which give a better indication of performance for the kind of general-purpose desktop computing most of use every day, the G4 held its own against the ancient Pentium running at 1Ghz."
In my real world tests at the weekend my 800mhz PC seemed faster loading web pages, but that could have been the browser... Hmmmm. But I do feel at home with my PowerBook laptop -- G3 500mhz... And I don't really need a super fast machine. Most of what I do is slow writing or coding. The graphics I do these days are usually for the web so they're not so big.
But when it comes to serving pages, well, that's another story. The next machine I get will be a dual 1 ghz G4, running OS X.

A Busy Writers Guide to Radio Renderers: "...a quick introduction to writing stories using HTML renderers in Radio 8.0. Renderers provide a simple mechanism for formatting text within specific HTML constructs (e.g. a table) without specifying the actual HTML tags."
They are much easier than his description. Basically using an outliner you can format your web page into all sorts of weird tables. Its what I base my calendar on.

Good morning world. Kids got me up early this morning, lucky I went to bed earlier than the usual 3 am.
Much to do this week, visiting clients and looking for new ones. Moving blogfootball to another server and starting new clubs. And seeing if we can move to Australia... Amanda wants to go, worried about the political situation here -- damn that Bush plan to bomb the world.
