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.

Ipod Touch
Well yesterday that is the 9th September Apple updated the OS in my I pod touch to 3.1.1 now that's not a big event in the grand scheme of things, but for me and my I pod it is.
You see my touch which by the way is named DMP is a big part of my life as I use DMP to play a lot of pod cast's for my music that I like, and also for some of the other pod cast like the IYA year of astronomy pod cast and also the Astronomy pod cast, both of which I have listed to since they started, I also happen to like the fact that I can play the odd game or also check the weather while on the move.
Now as I was saying DMP got updated from 3.0 to 3.11 that all went very well in that I did not loose anything and DMP is okay and works okay, the problem is that when linked to I tunes it decides( and I suspect for a very few reasons ) that it needs to back itself up.
Now DMp is a 32BG touch and has left at this time 9 Gigs free, so why has it been backing up since 5 pm and it is now 8.30 pm, surly it should not take all this time to backup?
Then just to add to all that fun itunes has also been upgraded from 8.21 to 9.0. Now it looks nicer, but apart from that I can't see many other differences, although I am told that there are many.
As for the touch from 3.0 to 3.11 the only change that I have seen is that in the music section there is now something called utunes, at this time I don't have a clue as to what that is all about.
One pet peeve that I have on the backup system is that there are no percentages or tine remaing to give you a clue as to just how long the whole backup process is going to take.

Maggs Book Part 3
Update time
The news is that there has not been any more work done on the book. This due to real life getting in the way and me not having the time to get my head around the next chapter that has to be done in draft format first.
Maybe in the next few weeks there will be time.

Updates and all that
The update has happened the only bad thing about it all is that I have lost my template that I have had for sometime, and to make matter worse I don't remember where I got it from.
The good news is that all is working as it used to. The only thing that I have yet to work out is how to get the flicer picture posting thing working, as that is something I found to easy to use.
May be I will start taking here about the other internet projects that I have been doing and so on.
eg DMP the wiki on Dirk Maggs that has been going for sometime now in one form or another, last look it had over 422 pages and its not yet half done, to be honest I have rather left it alone, I have updated the wiki software to 1.82 which is good.
