A slight return to the song title subject lines for this one – though there is another Black Sabbath song that I could have chosen instead. This is old news (it appeared in the Crawley Observer on Dec 2nd) but I never got round to writing about it at the time, being more interested in [...]

Just recently I have been busy setting up a new web site for Horsham Labour Party, with a final push to make it go live on May 1st.

So that was 2006?
December 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life
There is still a week to go before the end, but I am going to assume nothing much will happen in that time – or should that be hope that nothing will happen (bearing in mind the terrorist fears in today’s Observer)?
It has been a mixed year really.
Music
As far as music is concerned, I [...]

Blogs Today
July 13th, 2006 · No Comments · Technology
I think that the Blogs Today site is quite new, but it looks interesting.
It is traditional, possibly even mandatory, for Wordpress users to look down their noses a bit at a set-up which is free, very easy to use and under the ownership of a newspaper company, but it does have a lot going for [...]

Wordpress Spam
July 13th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Technology
Tygernet was moaning about this the other day. Actually moaning is not the right word: he was quite belligerent about it really.
Anyway, I have been wondering about this for a while, because I really am not very expert in the inner workings of MySQL/php. I know the reason why a spammer would want to [...]
Wordpress.com
March 21st, 2006 · No Comments · Technology
Now that I have finally finished moving all my old archives from Blogger to Wordpress by hand, I find that there was an easier way. Sort of.
Yesterday I found that to activate the Akismet spam-blocker you need something called a Wordpress API key, which you get by opening a free account a Wordpress.com. [...]

The conversion of archives from Blogger Wordpress format has been going well. I found a way to work faster, and have now got back as far as November 2005.
Inbetween that, I found out about the error log on the server and through that I noticed that I have cocked-up the links to the 2004 archives. [...]
Traffic
March 7th, 2006 · No Comments · Technology
I don’t know why it is, but skuds.co.uk is getting roughtly 4 or 5 times as many visits as skuds.blogspot.com was getting., but I’ll be buggered if I can work out why.
Even more confusing when you consider that there was always a fair amount of random visits from people hitting the ‘next blog’ button on [...]
Bloody Archives
March 6th, 2006 · 5 Comments · Technology
This may be interesting or even useful to Blogger users considering a move to Wordpress at some point.
As an interim measure, I changed my Blogger settings to archive monthly and not provide individual post pages, while publishing via ftp. This created a single HTML page for each month of stuff.
Then I changed back to publishing [...]
New Address
March 1st, 2006 · 6 Comments · Technology
This is the first proper post at the new address.
All the old posts are still available in the archives, but only a month at a time. I can’t import them because Supanames do not have CURL enabled on their servers for so-called security reasons. 90% of linux hosts out there have CURL enabled [...]
