Paul’s blog

Hello all, I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year

Évi and I spent Christmas in Stroud with my family. Needless to say much food was ate by all, now I need to start my diet and fitness campaign to lose a few pounds before our holiday in April.

For Christmas Évi gave me a new digital camera, a Sony DSC-W1, which is excellent.

Yes I know I have not written in a while. I have been busy learning PHP thanks to ‘PHP for the World Wide Web’ by Larry Ullman (Peachpit Press). I am slowly following the examples in the book and seem to be actually learning something . However I still am not sure what an array is :confused:,

I have been toying with the idea of upgrading my blogging software. Everyother application seems to have more bells and whistles, and I want to play with these bells and whistles.

Things I have been doing behind the scene is playing with some of the sites code to try to gain a more fluid feel. I have also updated the Hungarian restaurant page, adding two restaurants in London. On the 7th (Évi’s and my wedding anniversary) we may visit the one in Hampstead. It seems it is not to far from Baker Street. I have also added a page for Hungarian shops within England.

One thing I have been very impressed with is Firefox. It is now my default browser, and I feel exposed when I use IE now. IE seems to have so many security flaws that certain people want to exploit. Also on Firefox I added the web developer tools which are fantastic. I can edit my CSS on the fly and all sorts. Simply brilliant. Another add-on I have installed is IE view, now if I encounter a site which does not render according to valid code I can right click, select IE view, and IE will spring into action with the URL at the ready. This is also useful for design purposes.

Anyway, I better get back to it. Signing off now…
