It’s gotta be a classic story…
- Discover Internet, spend years reading other people’s content
- Buy domain, build website
- Website gets updated regularly and even has regular visitors and forum posts
- Website starts to show it’s age but still gets hits, gets a shot in the arm from being slashdotted
- Outdated PHP script gets pwned by some script-kiddie hacker with a chip on their shoulder
- Website falls so far into obscurity, owner far too busy to maintain
At this point in the story I feel sorry for our out-of-luck protagonist, and in fact that’s what happened in real-life so I’ve decided to give Website a happy ending by rebuilding it. It’s a modest beginning but I wanted to avoid use of overblown GPL scripts that I can’t even hope to understand so I build something I could write in notepad, albeit with a couple of acoutrements (what’s a main meal without a side-order, I ask).
Well, I hope you like it – it’s literally just been rebuilt so go easy on it and please leave feedback (either here or there).

P.S. Depending on when you visit it may redirect to the co.uk domain – I’m still tweaking things a bit so bear with me!
