Busy busy…

Not much time for bucketFountain at the moment. Have just launched my first big (by my standards) PHP/MySQL site for a client in the UK. The application is OK. I mean, its all CSS, it’s generally fully compliant and accessible HTML, but as its also a CMS so I need to catch a few more things in the way of user input to make sure that it stays that way. Then maybe I’ll post a link here….
Happily I have found a work around for the IE4 issue I was having on my cross browser machine. Simply open URL’s by using ctrl + L, rather than typing them in address bar. I declare that running multiple versions of IE on one machine not only possible but freaking easy (thanks to the fine efforts of sidesh0w and skyzyx)!
National Radio’s Morning Report celebrated its 30th birthday on Friday, and I was surprised to learn that the most excellent Geoff Robinson has been there since the beginning. Well done – I grew up listening to that programme.

eBay really does work
sup
The old Dell laptop needed a hard drive transplant, and I found one on eBay. The auction had about 45 minutes to go. That gave me time to research the drive, register, bid, and get really excited. And then my bid ‘won’. Party on. And today it turned up in the mail. So far, so good. I stuck it in the laptop, installed Windows 2000 (oh, and spent two hours applying security patches) and it seems to work fine. Does anyone in central London need to buy a cheap Dell PIII with 380ish Mb of ram and a 10 gig hard drive (it has a dicky battery, but you can get one on eBay)? I’ll give you a special price.
