It has been a while, so happy belated Christmas, New Year and Chinese New Year tounge

As well as uploading old blog's and of course writing new ones, I have changed the way the blog pages work. When I set the site up, I was a little lazy with the PHP code, and so had a single page for every month of every year. After 4 years though and 48 pages later, I decided to change the PHP so that I only needed 12 pages, one for each month. The year is then selectable and changeable. I know the PHP can be done even more efficiently so that only a single page is needed, but I am far too lazy to sit and go through that process tounge

Before this site was created, I started writing some blogs on the Red Dwarf X site from around October 2006. When the site went live in 2008, I decided not to get into putting the old blogs across as it would take too much time, but now I am thinking that I should start it. So from now on, every now and then, a few old blogs will appear.

Because of how busy we were, we did not really get chance to write any blogs for the last several month. Now that we have a bit more free time, we are going to start filling them in, so although not totally complete, there will at least be something to read, which may offer some amusement tounge

There are also a few slight changes to how things look and work, like the vertical alignment of the avatars for one laugh

Date: 2010-11-15 09:22:52

I have inserted a little but of PHP code, and will eventually have it across the board. Effectively the code is an array which turns certain words into the smiles. So here is a little test of them all. smile

One major change to the site is that www.lac-web.co.uk no longer links to this part of the site, only www.larryandcrystal.co.uk does. I have separated them to keep www.lac-web.co.uk as a website design site and only that. Therefore it will look a little more professional when I include that link on external sites that I have created for people.

. I have had exams recently and so have not had too much time to update anything, but slowly I have started. So within this week, you will see many updates.

Subject: Football and Nuclear Bombs
Date: 2009-11-30 10:58:12

I have not really updated this news section for a while, but I guess some of the most talked about events recently have been Frances Hand-Ball win in the World Cup Play-Off (during a Football match, NOT actually a Hand Ball match), and Irans nuclear ambitions.

What I do find funny about Irans nuclear ambitions is the fact that America and some other countries are condemning it, yet America especially does not even have a leg to stand on in this debate as America is the only country in history to drop an nuclear bomb on a city, and they did not even drop one, they dropped two. When it comes down to it, America is the worlds largest terrorist country, killing millions of innocent people during wars, legal or not in the last 100 years. It is true, they have killed far more innocent people than any so called terrorist organisation has done.

Well I must congratulate the England squad for their victory. 8 out 8 is great and of course enabled them to qualify for the World cup next year. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have not been so lucky and will have to wait another 4 years for a chance. I am a little surprised by Scotland´s poor performance though, I thought that they would have done much better in their group.

On Thursday 25th June 2009, Michael Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away. The world has lost a musical icon, but his music will live on forever.

Date: 2009-06-08 10:53:09

Well, the European elections are over and Labour suffered a not very surprising defeat. UKIP however did very well, but the surprise of the night went to the BNP gaining two seats. The votes for the BNP were more than likely protest votes, but still the country could have done better... the protest votes could have gone to UKIP.

Subject: Eurovision
Date: 2009-05-17 00:40:58

Well this years Eurovision song contest went well, the UK finished 5th, and although I do not believe Turkey deserved 4th place nor Azerbaijan with 3rd. Norway deserved the win though, it is always nice to see someone mix singing with playing an instrument, while Iceland’s display was very good, very pretty. The worst song of the contest had to be that from France. It was very bland, very dull, she didn’t move around the stage and well… basically it was just boring. Germany’s song was also good and worth a mention, very old school style.

Subject: Additional content
Date: 2009-04-19 00:06:09

As you may have noticed, there have been many new pictures placed into the Photo section, with more still to come. Not only have there been new photos, but also old photos taken from China last year, to graduation in 2006 and a Brasov Visitor one taken in 2004.

I have also added extra content to the China adventure. Including a nice little bit about me being accused of being a spy. Although the follow up will come near the end, where TNT was detected on my camera bag at the airport... If anyone is thinking about travelling with a Lowepro camera bag through airports, take my advice and just DO NOT, stick it in a rucksack or something... stupid Lowepro, what the hell did they make the bag out of in order for the machine to detect TNT?

My Red Dwarf site is also very nearly back up and running, just a few pages extra and a little code to fix.

www.larryandcrystal.co.uk and www.reddwarfx.co.uk are now fully at Strato, the later though is not up and running yet, I have to re-upload all of the content. I will be doing this slowly, so do not expect anything major just yet. There is new however for the New Red Dwarf episodes, due to be aired April 10th, and I would suggest a quick trip to the official Red Dwarf website to discover move.

Now that this site is fully operational again, there will be more Blogs and an updated Adventures page in the coming weeks.

Subject: Lycos webhosting
Date: 2008-11-28 23:42:07

The Lycos webhosting service will be no more, meaning that at some point in the future mysite will be moved to another host, hopefully trouble free. This will happen sometime next year, so there is plenty of time left with Lycos, but when the time comes, expect delays or pages to be down for a small period of time.
