Remember how last year I had major problems with this site? Well you probably don’t but it happened again this year!!  Bloody Nexpoint are crap!  I need to take more control over this but I’ve just paid for another year (last time I get a host that gets paid annually!) I think I’ll bite the financial loss and move somewhere else in about 6 months.

Talking of net type stuff I’ve just registered http://www.aboutlight.com for a pure photography site. I bought it through godaddy and can’t believe how easy and cheap it was!  It’s just parked at the moment and I’m going to test drive a new host (maybe vervehosting) in the next month or so.

I’ll be offline for the next week or so due to the move.  I hope everyone has a great week and I’ll come visit soon

And to start my week off I got another POTD at digitalphotocontest.com with this shot.

see you soon!

I’ve finished my connect8 project!

I planned the layout and picture sizes on a 1280×1024 screen and it looks a bit cramped at 1024×768

Wow I’ve got to 20,000 hits!  I made this entry on June 4th about making it to the 15,000 mark.  That’s 5,000 hits in 86 days or just under 60 per day!

Thanks

Max? No – me at 7 months!  My Mum sent this through last week – at least this shows that the milkman isn’t Max’s father! lol!

I use it mainly for my own amusement but thought that I would let you know that I have increased the number of lines used in the quote of the the day section on the left by about 300% I thought they were repeating a bit too often

Well another 104 emails generated by the W32.Sobig.F@mm virus in my inbox overnight 🙁 The funny thing is they only start coming in about 19:00 local time so that must be when PC’s get turned on either in the US or UK.

It is now officially the fastest spreading virus ever! so that makes me feel a bit better The one good thing about the ones received last night is that they all had the payload stripped so instead of having 104 emails @ 72KB each I had 104 emails @ 1KB each – much better!

Also I’m off to meet Deb in town for a coffee today My first fellow blogger that I’ll get to meet face to face!

If you are looking at this using IE6 then you’ll be able to read it (probably) If you are using Mozilla or Opera that you might be able to kind of see this text somewhere on the screen……….

All I’m using is CSS and want a (I thought) fairly easy layout.

A 700px wide header, centered and 700px wide image in it.  Just below that a 700px wide container centered with 20px padding. Inside that a white box with 2 columns in it – a 150px wide menu on the LHS and the rest for content.

I can get it to work with just a tiny test CSS file (in IE) see this picture – using this CSS

Can I get it to work in anything other than IE or once I put my blog data in – can I f*ck!!

Any ideas?????

Update 11:30pm: OK – I’ve changed the way I do stuff and it works under IE6 and Opera 7 (at least on my PC) Still doesn’t work under Mozilla as supposedly it’s the only browser that nests divs “properly” For all you Mozilla users out there I’ll look at it tomorrow……….
