Lots of news! Went on a big trip around Norway. Read all about it here. Added some pages of Zaurus PDA related software, including a port of Freeciv I am working (slowly) on. Today I have decided to start some kind of weblog. I'm not sure how this will go but it could be interesting! Also, I now have a proper web host, XCalibre.co.uk, so maintaining these pages is a lot easier for me. Expect more updates soon.

General cleanup. Having read Eric S. Raymond's HTML Hell page I became embarassed and decided to get my act together! Gone are the Javascript and frames option, all the out of date pages and links, and any graphics which aren't strictly necessary. It should be a much improved browsing experience.

Added logo and link for the Campaign For a Non-Browser-Specific WWW. The general idea is that web sites should be easily viewable on all types of browser. Check out the site for guidelines on how to make your web site more accessible. If there's anything on my site that doesn't work with your browser, let me know.

Added a couple of DVD related links. Planning to do a small amount of travelling later in the year, so watch this space for a full pictorial account.

1 November 1999

I seem to have gone and got a job (doing software for a digital TV company) so unfortunately haven't had the time to work on this site or even move it to Connect4Free... So we're still with Geocities, bless 'em. I have had the time to do a few bug fixes though, so you should find it works better, especially if you use Netscape.
