Is there a cake in the world that can rival the Eccles cake? I doubt it. I’m back. It’s been a busy few weeks. Thanks go out to Alfie for keeping the motor running with a couple of entries whilst I was away. If you’re a lazy aRSSe who tunes in via the newsfeed, you [...]

We’d journey, seemingly forever, from the town to the country. Darkness would fall, the headlights of the car only just winning the battle against the rural pitch black. Sleep.

The timestamp problem continues. For the moment we shall remain text only until I’ve got the photo feed to work.

OK, rather predictably, this hasn’t gone as smoothly as I’d hoped. There seems to be a problem with the image feed and it’s repeating the last picture with every cron job. Bloglines is ignoring it because it recognises the repetition, could somebody who uses a different news reader let me know how it is behaving? [...]

If you subscribe to this site using RSS you may have noticed that a few of the entries you’ve already read have just popped up again. Don’t adjust your set, I’ve moved the newsfeed over to an aggregator that pulls in extra content. Scroll back down the list and you’ll see some extra images – [...]
