LATEST NEWS (08-Jun-24)

Five years! Well, almost five years - that's how long it's (almost) been since this page was last served to da Interwebz. Before this page appeared, there was a page that I copied from the default Apache 2 one. I last mentioned that I had found an archive of the old site and was going to restore it. This is it, warts and all. There are going to be a lot of those (warts) because I had links in the Apache 2 config file that I have not restored, so things like the 'pizza' link (below) will not work, scripts in cgi-bin don't exist (so no user CSS, site stats, phpSysinfo). I still have the camera, but it's in a box and I don't think that I'll get it working again, since there's not much of a view from my current location. That's not quite true: there's a nice tree out the back, but no sea (I'm a few miles away from it) and definitely no gulls staring in through the kitchen window. There are pigeons, jackdaws and magpies running amok.

As to why I restored this page, the answer is simple: in Apache's access logs, I could see that bots were looking for old pages and not finding them. Thinking that there might be some interest in the old stuff, I found it in an archive of documents on my Google Drive space.
