    Apologies for the infrequent updates. Winsock2 got corrupted on my server, knocking me off the internet. Despite fixing that, the rest of the network was still screwed. I.e. you could see my website, but I couldn’t see the rest of the internet. So I shelled out for a hardware router from Linksys which I have…

    Nobody really seems to be using the Jif website. The counters are telling me I’m getting hits, but no-one is using the comments system. At least it’s dead easy to update now with the PHP news management system. There are (I think) a couple of stylesheet bugs, so if you notice any problems, email me.

    After swimming with the Triathletes this evening I was sat at the traffic lights in Ely, waiting to turn right, listening to the excellent John Peel. “Why’s that bus sat there with its hazards on?”, I thought to myself.

    God damn it! CardiffTri.net is still down! I’ve emailed Fasthosts tech support, but got the expected answer of, “our engineers are working as quickly as possible to complete the server upgrades, yada, yada, yada”. They’re usually such a superb company that I just cannot understand why my websites have been taken down for so long…

    Apologies to users of cardifftri.net and cardiffjif.com for the outage today. I only got the warning email at the last minute, but our service provider, Fasthosts, have found it necessary to urgently upgrade the servers we host the websites on. Jif is back up, but Tri is not. They assure me the outage will last…
