Website Updating

Years 1987 and 1988 of Dirk Maggs Radio productions are now live on the website.

But search which used to work real well does not for some reason search the whole site, strange.

Just a note to be Bank holiday going to Weymouth see the kites.....

Re Build Website

The rebuild of the Dirk Maggs website is on going in that I have 83 pages so far, but only 4 or so of them are done and are fully working, as I estimate that the Dirk Maggs website had some 200 pages to go until; I have the website fully back up and running.

I have taken advantage of the fact that the software used to drive the website has been updated, and so have updated the software, which I must say has made a very big difference to the rebuild.

I think if any thing it has made it quicker if such a thing is possible.

Still even with that I still think that we are taking weeks before the site is any where near what it used to be.

Website troubles

So I have the software installed, the database installed and working. I have chosen a theme for the website I have even put up a holding page.

I think there is about 198 pages of information to now reinstall, which is going to take weeks and weeks to do.

Then there is the navigation system and all the pictures to sort out.

The plane and simple truth is that the Dirk Maggs website is not going to be back up and working fully for sometime.

Website troubles

Dirk Maggs website is lost... all of it, backups as well. Not happy....

Website troubles

The bad news is that my Dirk Maggs website has gone bang and is now broken...which is not good not good a tall, I am hoping that my backups all work and that I shall have the website back up in a day or so.


If not then I will have to start all over again, which is not good.

Reading

Just completed a book that was really fun to read and I learned a lot which was nice and a surprise. The book as you can tell is a fact book and on a subject that I have not really thought about that much.

The book is called The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England by Ian Mortimer and its a good read and well worth the time and effort to read it.

Reading

I have just completed reading a book that has left me not to sure about the main subject matter, and when I tell you the name of the book you will see that when I say that when they are dead we may then learn some of the truth then I think you will understand what I am going on about.

I did and did not enjoy this book I say this because the author appears to have become emotionally involved I was all ways told that with this kind of book that is the very last thing that you should do.

Any way the name of the book is Clint The life and Legend by Patrick Mcgilligan

Dirk Maggs

I have just fixed a problem where by for some reason the link to the Dirk Maggs website was not pointing to the correct start point on the website, I don't have any ideas as to what broke it or even how long it has been broken.


It all now appears to be working correctly which is good, as I noticed the number of hits had dropped right off.

I also sadly noticed that I am no longer the No 1 on google search for Dirk Maggs so bloke called Dirk Maggs! is now number one I don't know how he managed that!


So it would appear that my Dirk Maggs website has disappeared from google, I wonder just for how long.

Warm

Today was nice and warm 16c I know and I am told that there is more to come

Blue Sky

I just want to record this as it's happening.


Yes there is bright blue sky as I type this at 16.56 hrs on 4 th April, I know even I am surprised, I mean come on its Easter and some sunshine, even if its only for a few minutes is better than nothing.

Gammon

As it's Easter we had gammon done our way, result was wonderful!

Weather

As it's Easter you don't need to be told that the weather is as you would expect for a Bank Holiday, wet cold and dull


Simple question why?

ipad

I see from looking at the internet news that in the USA today the ipad version 1 was on sale for the first time. Now the interesting thing will be just how much an ipad will be in the UK when they decide to sell them here, which is rumoured to be later in April.

I suppose that as normal we here in the UK will get charged more. So I will not hold by breath for the price to be similar to the USA one.

It has made me start to think what would I do now for version or generation 2 of the ipad ? and that's were it can get a bit difficult in just what do you add to a generation 2 device?

So of the things that you can do to9 a generation 2 device are easy in that you can update the operating system to a newer one with more features.

But do you start to add new hardware to your Gen 2 device?

I have been told by many that the Gen 1 ipad is not the right one for me and that a Gen 2 will be better, I have been told that Xmas 2010 is when a Gen 2 ipad is due and that before that a new OS will be realised updating or adding stuff that just was not ready for the launch of the Gen 1 device.

So as long as my itouch keeps working, and I hope it does I can afford to wait until Xmas 2010 to see what is or is not going to turn up.
