  • Out with the old…

    To anyone who has linked to any of my previous articles, before I changed to Blogger, sorry.

    I’m sure you’ll understand that things change, people move on, sites get obliterated! It’s not like anyone actually read anything on my site, I’ve had maybe a couple of links in the years that I’ve had this domain, so I don’t honestly think anyone is going to miss it. But if you desperatly need any of the old content, you can find it at http://old.ianmjones.net/.

  • If you can see this, I’ve switched host ok!

    Well, as the title says, you should only be able to see this message if I’ve switched hosts ok.

    Not sure what format this website is going to take in the future, I have some plans, and I think they will probably involve changing this site rather a lot. I guess you’ll just haver to wait and see.

  • Hang Tight, I’m Changing Host!

    I’m in the process of changing hosting provider, so there may be a little down time while I get my house in order.

    Please check back in a day or two to see me at my new home.

    Email should still get to me ok, but there may be a little delay during the actual change over.

    I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

  • I’ve been linked!

    This is a momentous occasion, I’ve actually found out that someone has linked to my site, not only that, but I found that someone else has translated my CityDesk Magic Names CSS post into french! Wow, considering I thought that no one ever read this pitiful site (not even my family), I’m unashamedly impressed! Mind you, both the links are from 2002, it’s just that I’ve only now found them because of a referral in my webstats, I bet no one has linked to me in the last year or so!

    However, it did show that my update to this site many moons ago caused a few problems, as the CityDesk Magic Names CSS post was not showing the correct information, the magic name was actually being translated into its relative path, rather than staying in its original form. I can only think this is because I went through a phase of opening up every article and viewing it in “Normal View” to set all the tags to xhtml once I upgraded to CityDesk 2.0. Since then, I’ve pretty much stuck to only using HTML View when editing to make sure everything is correct, I’m not a very trusting fellow with these things, and I like to see the raw code in everything I do anyway. Just as well really as it turns out.
