November 2002
 | The Hammond vault of stories and information has been added to understand
how this all works follow the In Search of Link below. If you want to go
directly click
here. This is the next stage in the work begun last month. |
October 2002 major update three
| After a few hours of struggle the problem below seems to be fixed, let me
know if you come across anything. |
| Yet more problems with the Blueyonder server and it's issues with Front
Page - I'm on with the tedious process of fixing it! |
| The Family Tree has been updated again, a
lot more people on all sides of the family are on it and it takes into account
the British Census's of 1881 and 1901. |
| I've updated the family story
building on my Grandfathers original account. |
| There is a whole new In Search of... , the
search for my mysterious relative who played for what became Manchester United
and fought in the Great War. |
| All of this can best be accessed via the In Search of link below. |
September 2002
| I've updated to Front Page 2002 and I expect quite a few things will not
work too well in Netscape. It does all work in IE5 and above |
| Further updates to the Family Tree it now incorporates information from
the 1901 census. It's consequently much bigger but viewable, either by
downloading and viewing in a DTP programme or even Paint or by using tools in
your browser. |
| Blueyonder servers were their usual oppositional self when it came to
uploading this and some other technical changes, it just does not like Front
Page... |
August 2002
| The second of the really significant and planned changes, I've moved the
family history bit and linked it into a new section called "In Search
Of" which can be found from the link at the bottom of the page - the
thinking behind this is set out there. |
| You'll find that the first of the "In Search Of" chapters is
about folklore, pictures and old stories from my home area of Cheshire. Just
follow the link from the In Search of... main page below. |
| I've also done some minor tidying up and slightly re-framed the homepage,
I'm wondering if I ought to spice it up a bit... and obviously I've adjusted
this page too. |
May 2002
| Well here we are in May and Blueyonder may just finally have resolved
their upgrade issues. Grrr, the better
(actually worst) part of a month wrangling, re-setting/editing the site and
they finally they admit there are problems!!! Solution? Zap the whole damn
lot and start again..., good job I'd backed it all up then isn't it? So much
for upgrades. |
| You may find that some of the link buttons disappear, usually the link
still works! Refreshing the page also clears it, as might just letting
the mouse roll over it! |
| Update 2: The benefit to you is that I've added more funnies for you, see the Humour
link below, tidied up some bits and refreshed a few themes. |
| Meanwhile between this and work I've had time for nothing else, so no new
"Notes From..." (boo, hiss). |
| However, in the future expect some major work on the family history side,
as I did just manage to fit in a visit to my elderly sister and got: a) A
cut above the eye (don't ask) and b) Some pics and information. |
| I'm also planning a picture section to the site at the suggestion of a
long lost friend from the US of A. (Who has promised me a picture of
herself to add in, as since we left High School she has become a film
star, so you can all wait for that one. Hell, me I'm just the
scriptwriter..) |
| 18 May - well after an indescribably appalling load of wrangling with
Blueyonder who took the Microsoft approach to customer care (see
below), it now appears the site is working again. A month of down time
and futile arguments, sorry about that, but hope you enjoy the updates.
Hopefully more will come soon and of the planned variety not editing and
re-editing because of a technically deficient IT section! |
| One more joke:
 | Q How many Microsoft (or Blueyonder)
technicians does it take to change a light bulb? |
| A - none. Haven't you heard darkness is the new
standard... |
|
April 2002
| NB Blueyonder have upgraded the server - oh joy - and of course things are
acting strangely.... I'll try and clean things up as I find them. Any
problems let me know: Webmaster |

| Travel note for Cyprus (2) added access from "Travel
Notes" link below |
| Year end message added access from Travel Notes link below |
