I’ve built a search engine for this blog.
Enter the search phrase in the box on the right and then hit go.

The search engine uses the Google API and NuSOAP.
The code I wrote is actually the one I wrote for the LDYS website, so it wasn’t too hard to modify.
If you want the code, feel free to drop me a comment and I’ll see if I can help you out, but you will need to have your own hosting.

Due to some problems with the current registar of my domain name, you might find my blog and main site missing for a while.
Hopefully I will be able to transfer everything successfully, but if previous experience is to go by, this may not happen.

Note, my other sites will be ok.

My blog is 1 year old today. Blog posts are now longer, but less frequent.

Since starting I’ve made several tweaks including, RSS Feeds, the I am …, Haloscan Comments (including being made a forum mod) and the Blogger Javascript Hack.

The top two stories have been Major ’24’ spoilers revealed due to this and 389 …doh thanks to Schneier on Security.

Because of my blog I built LibDemBlogs which has allowed me to develope my XML skills.

The most rewarding part of blogging, find search phrases which you are either at the top of Google, or where you are higher than an offical site 🙂

OK, the blog is 1 year and 1 day old, but Blogger lost the post I made yesterday

On a visit to Ikea yesterday to get a look and feel for furniture for our new place (once we find one), we discovered that there is a new range called Kullen. I’ve got to say that the quality looked like the more cheaper end of the Ikea market, and that I’ll probably not get one.

On the weekend Heather brought this book, upon flicking through it, I found a picture which I was in.
How long did it take Heather to find me? A day and a half!

For those who don’t visit the About page daily, just a couple of small changes.

Posts with longs words are now ignored (the word limit is current 70), most times these are really long URLs or tables which your feed has removed the tags, but not added any spaces.

People who don’t post anything for 60 days, will find their name being removed from the BlogBox, as nobody likes an out of date link. At the moment this process is done part manually, part automatically. (The list of when you last posted is created by the computer, so I don’t have to trawl through every blog, but the switch to turn you on or off is manual). So don’t be alarmed that your blog hasn’t been turned back on straight away.
The autochecker also lets me know who’s blog is crashing the site, so if your site goes down for a while, you may find it might take a while for it to reappear on LibDemBlogs.

If at any time you do find your site missing, and your site is fine, posts have short words and you’ve posted within the last two days, feel free to contact me to get them switched on.

This post has been done for one of three reasons. Firstly I’ve been working on a way to upload my pictures from my mobile, direct to my blog. I’ve now got something working via Opera, which takes a GIF, JPEG or PNG and re-sizes it to either 200 or 430 pixels wide for me, stores it in the image directory, and renames the file for me. So the picture was a test.
The reason for picking the picture was that I just found it again lying about on my phone. Will sent it to me a while ago, after seeing it at a station or somewhere.
Finally, I felt that after three seasons maybe the Imps might just need some of this. [Begins to duck and cover].

Phew, at least this means that my blog, and LibDemBlogs are OK. Just wish more people took this view.

By having the BBC News links on my site, I’m not stealing readers, but providing them.
