And a big round of applause for Jazzy!

After only 18 hours of downtime, the entire site is back up and functional! That's impressive, in my book.

There may be a few brief moments of downtime whilst a few tweaks are made to the forum, but we're basically up and running on the new hosts now.

a university somewhere spent thousands researching that, they came to the conclusion that it land buttered side up 50% of the time and buttered side down the other 50% of the time. And yet I couldn't get funding for some new Lego Robotics sets for my Masters degree. Where's the justice? Oh, um, ach...

The amount of electronic gizmos people take on planes these days is so huge, even if the machines fried 1 piece in every 10,000 there'd be warnings posted...

<Geek> From a technical viewpoint, here's some facts and my opinion: GIF and PNG are lossless compression (the image you save is not altered in any way). The reason GIF messes with the colours is that you're only allowed 256 colours in the palette for the entire image, and most programs have lousy a...
