The book is as I last spoke you in the last blog.
Some new news is that the firm that I was going to use to do the private printing LULU.com have changed the costs and stuff, the only problem is that if there email is anything to go by I will not stand a chance of working out what the costs or changes are.
So I am now going to have to put on the to-do list that I don't have find another book publisher...
Bum is all that I can say to this as it's yet more work.

Updates & all that stuff part 2
Just a note to myself that I have made a large update to the main page of the Dirk Maggs website, I have even got a new name for it, The Relevant Chronology of Dirk Maggs!, yes I know it does not read nice, but at this time it's a test to see if I like it and as its my website, I can do whatever I like!

cole green way, hertford
This could be what summer days should be like, its strange but I was near to where this image was taken not that many weeks ago, but there was the light that you can see in this image. If I ever get the chance to go back to Hertford then this is a place I have to see with my own eyes on a blue sky day.
spin
This images is just great, it made me think that its a good job windmills don't move at this speed.

Nettles
So I was walking around the site at work today through part of the forest that we have when I noticed for the first time that not all nettles are the same, this was a bit of an eyeopener for me as for the last four decades I had thought that all nettles were the same.
So it goes without saying that I put the word on my list of items to Google.

Now What
So with all these updates you would think that I have found lots of free time. Well no I havn't but I am just trying to get some thing done.
Updates again
I think there must have been something in the water yesterday as I did some updates!
yeah I know ...scary or what?
The updates were to the ae35 pod cast site, in that I did a new pod cast number 8!
This pod cast was mainly about the progress or lack of on all the projects that I am doing eg the Dirk Maggs book the website and the ae35 pod cast.
If I am not very careful it could be that I might update more.

Updates & all that stuff
it's been some time since I last said anything in this blog, and also about the various projects that I have on the go at some time or other. As this blog is for me I think I need to tell myself what i have been doing or not over the last few weeks or so.
The Dirk Maggs books has not got any further along in its editing and the problem with the indexes still needs to be sorted one way or another. I just have not had several clear hours in which to work on the book. One problem is that after all this time of not looking at it, you forget things that are in it and also the things that you wanted to change last time but never got around to it.
The podcast website AE35 has also stalled, I have done 6 or so pod casts and then things happed and well, I am making excuses for why it just has not moved forward, one of the reasons has to be me being lazy I guess. The other is time again, always a good excuses I think or not.
One of the great things about the pod casts is that some how or other it has been found by the odd brave sole and downloaded! Yes I know quite what thay made of all of it I just don't know.
The Dirk Maggs website is up to date, as he has not produced any new work for a while I have no backlog of updates to do to the site, which is nice.
The DMP 2 wiki website has had a bit of a redesign so it has very little content, but lots of backroom stuff has been done to it, but just like an iceberg you the user can't see the effort that has gone on.
The DMP wiki website has been frozen while we look to see if DMP 2 is going to work, if it does then the content form DMP will transfer to DMP 2.
So that's the update as to how things are at this time, as summer is now almost over( if it ever started here in England) I could get some free time soon and get some of these projects moving.

DMP 2 part 2

DMP 2
Just a small note to me from me, that I have started to work on DMP 2, which as you know is a replacement for DMP 1. Yes it does all make sense, I think...
Anyway DMP 1 has a problem in that its on an old database and everytime I don an SQL dump and then try to upload that dump into the new MYSQL it fails hence the restart. Which is not all bad news as how I need to present the data in DMP 2 is going to be easyeir using the new software and the database.

Blogs and all of that stuff
I have found that for some unkown reason I blog more at some times of the year than others why this should be so I just don't know, but it's what I have found to be true for me. I don't know if it's true for other people, but you never know.
I do like the idea of a blog, but I must admit that I only do the blog for me as it's very unlikely that anyone else will ever read this stuff. What I mean by that is that there are millions of blogs outthere and when you think about it there are only so many hours in a day that some one has time to read a blog if that is the kind of thing they do.
Come to think of it why do people read blogs in the first place? there must be a reason why people do, maybe there is a phd for someone to research into this all I know is that the blogs I read tend to be by people who have an intrest that is the same as mine. So maybe that's a reason as for me I just don't know.
I do sometimes wonder if this blog will out live me, and if someone in the future will ever read it and wounder who I was and what I was like, maybe that is one of the real reasons why people do blogs as they want to leave something behind for the folks that come after them, I suppose in the past you had to be some one who was in the public eye or you where someone that did art, eg pictures or stuff like that.
I suppose that must blogs are never read by more than one person eg the author of the blog, but as is always the case there must be blogs that do get read by thousands, I do wonder how the guys or girls who write the blogs read by thousands might end up writing blogs all most as a performance as they know that they have a readership, do these guys set out to get an audance, do they want an audance?
As for me I decided that I wanted to record things for me so that I could look back on events, and that I could use someone elses experance in computers to make sure that every thing was backed up and that it would be there for me to look at in the future. I did have a blog on my own website, but I made a mistake in programming an SQL statement and wiped out the whole of my blog database, which did cause me to swear a lot and also to be less verbose in blog terms, I mean I lost years or blog items. So I signed up to blogger, but for some reason like I said at the start of all this I don't do bnlog on a regular occurance for some reason.
i have just noticed that I am now starting to repaet myself, so I am going to stop, but one thing to note with this blog is that I am not going to spell check it, the reason being is that I have been up nearly 20 hours or so, I will admit that I have had a drink (rum if you must know David) and it will be intresting to see in the harsh light of day what this looks like and also how it reads when one is not very tierd and also has not had a drink.
So David in the future i hope that i find you well and that you are happy in that you have found out waht you where thinking on 25th July 2008 at 23.06 i wish you good health and best whishes.

Dirk Maggs Book Part 20
Guess what?
Yes it's true!!
I did some work on the book today, not a lot I must admit but at least I did something, so progress of a sorts.
Changed the publish date and altered some of the body text. I have come to the conclusion that more tables to store the actores names in will also be needed.
