On Saturday I staffed at the Nottingham Beer festival with the Young Camra lot, and I actually discovered that it’s a lot of fun.
You get a free half pint glass, a free t-shirt and 2.5 pints of free beer.
However as you have people asking “which is the best”, or “can I have a really hoppy one” of course you need to trial a small sample of all the beers 🙂
I ended up spending 5 hours behing the bar, hurt my legs from the bending up and down but did manage to get drunk.

Always On Top Maker
An old application that I’ve been hunting for since I managed to destroy my old installation of Windows is Always On Top Maker.
It’s free, it’s simple and if you put a shortcut in the Startup folder it will always run.
Just a quick Ctrl+Alt+T will put a window on top of everything else.
Great for stuff like the BBC mini windows with the cricket scores.
P990
I want one!
Does anyone have a spare £400 lying around so I can get it in the new year or for my birthday (hint, hint, hint)?
Best features:
3G, Wi-Fi, 2 mega-pixel camera.

LibDemBlog Stuff
As I guessed there have been troubles since DataFlame switched my sites to a new server. The main problem seems to be that my cron jobs aren’t running. The cron job is used to generate the half hourly versions of LibDemBlogs, so if it hasn’t updated for a while it’s because I’ve not manually poked it.
I’ve also modified the code slightly so that it only shows posts that were posted before now. This means that “future” posts are ignored. If you find these are your, please make sure that you date settings are set to either GMT or BST.
Advance Warning
My webhosts DataFlame are moving my server.
This means that DNS setting may end up pointing to old information and possible nothingness.
I’m trying to keep any eye on it, and hopefully I’ll have no downtime. However it may be possible that LibDemBlogs and my Blog may disappear tonight or tomorrow.
Artesea :: Portal
My main portal site has been recoded, whilst users shouldn’t notice much difference from before, where possible I’ve replaced tables with divs and also tried to ensure that it’s HTML valid.
