Flat roof

Just found the reason for dripping water coming through the light in the bathroom, yes it's bad the flat roof over the extension has a large hole in it, looks like the whole roof will have to be replaced..

Not happy.....

Blogging changes

Not to sure if I like the new changes that google have made to the blogger website

Semantic website part whatever

As you know if you have been on my blog I did try some time ago to setup a semantic website on Dirk Maggs and all of his works, which as it happens is what one of my main websites is all about.

Now when I tried last time to set up the site I had some problems with the software that drives the whole thing, mainly getting it to work without it crashing on me.

I must say here that I am running all the software as a local server using xamp to drive the web server and MySQL as the database.

So after a few months I gave up as I was not getting anywhere with it.

So it's been some time so I have decided to have another go at a semantic website.

The good news is that I think I have found some good software in SMWplus which for individuals is free to use, but it does not come with any support, but there is a lot of information on the website, which I must admit I have used very heavily over the last few days.

The good news is that I am up and running. The bad news is that some of the extensions to the software tend to cripple the whole thing and I have had to reinstall on more than one occasion, but as I have learned this process has become an easy step to make and carry out.

No the snag that I have hit is this.

I have worked out how to mark up a page so that it has a category, that was easy, and how to make new category's.

I have learned how to do annotations on some of the items in a page.

So for instance I have done the following as an example

[[actor::dirk maggs]] this gives dirk Maggs the property of actor, I have done the same for him as a writer, director, producer and male.

I have added him to the category person.

I can search for male actors, and that works.

The problem I now have is how do I attach all the productions that he has done to him, and also to the other people who are involved in some way with the production?

I want to be able to do a search for say Shane Rimmer and see all the productions he has been in. Or do a search for all the productions made in 1990 that have 30 minute episodes.

I have as yet not worked out how to code this information.

Do I have to use category or properties? Or a mixture of both?

Maybe it's time to hit the manuals again, I have to get this to work as without it what's the point of having a semantic website?

If I can get the local copy to work then putting it on the Internet will be I suspect not as hard a task.

Gammon

Had our Easter gammon this evening and I have to say that it was great, cooked in cider and then roasted with brown sugar and mustard.

All I can say is very nice, and as a bonus it was a family meal.

Bank hoilday

So its raining and I have not seen the sun for a few days, but that does not matter as its a day off and I can chill and relax, what more is there to ask for?

Family Day

So had a family day today, which was nice, met some of the family who live in Australia, and I have to say love the accent.

Wet

So it's a long weekend and you can guess what it's doing out there, yep raining, mind you it's the first rain that we have had in weeks.

Weather

So its Easter Saturday, so the weather is as you would expect wet... at least yesterday was nice.

Wheels day

Went to wheels day in Rushmoor Arena today, the weather was really great and it was nice to look at all the very differant cars that were on show. It was well worth the money.

There were several cars that if I had the money I would love to buy. One of them was an AC Cobra.

Even saw Tiff Nedell, luckily did not not interpret me viewing of the cars.
