Rachel Cunliffe and her husband Regan have a few excess CDs to get rid of, so get yourselves to The Sale “if you like City on a Hill, Song for Worship, Michael W. Smith, Third Day, Jars of Clay or the Paul Colman Trio.”
Oh, they’re in New Zealand, but are quite willing and able to ship to the UK, US, wherever. Plus the exchange rate means that they’re cheap!
In progress. All the best sites do it, so I’m going to as well.
My Dad, Peter Beadle, is 70 today! Woo! Have a good one, Dad.
I finally got an "automated" reply from Richer Sounds, though how it can be automated when they took nearly a day to respond, I’ll never know:

I also discovered that I’m not alone in my frustration with the parochiality MS-centricity and ineptitude of the Richer Sounds website developers: Jim Woods has also noticed.
But will Richer Sounds notice?
I received a late birthday present over the weekend: £30 of Richer Sounds vouchers. I would dearly love to spend them, but the web site’s navigation menu doesn’t work in Mozilla-based browsers. The menu expands, but nothing happens when you click on a link.
I’ve e-mailed customer services [1], but alas, I have had no reply as yet. I’ll keep you posted.
bq.I am trying to browse your web site, but the left-hand menu doesn’t work
in my browser – Mozilla 1.3, Linux. As I am not using Windows, I cannot
use Internet Explorer.
Luckily for you, you won’t miss out on a sale, as I received a £30
Richer Sounds gift voucher for my birthday.
Nowhere on your web site does it suggest what browser to use, so I
assumed that it works on any modern browser. As I have already stated,
this appears not to be the case.
As a web developer myself, may I suggest that your web team test the
site in more browsers than just IE on Windows, and preferably make the
site work in any standards-compliant browser (see www.webstandards.org
). You can download Mozilla for Windows for free from www.mozilla.org.
I really want to spend my voucher with you!
Thanks and best regards,
Tim Beadle.
So Wayne Bridge has gone to Chelsea. I can’t say I’m surprised. Once the contract talks were underway I resigned myself to the fact that he would leave. It’s in the past now, and we have £7m plus Graham Le Saux on subsidised-by-Chelsea wages on a two-year contract. Even at 34, he’s a quality player.
I can’t help feeling that, once again, Southampton have been beaten to the top headline spot – this time by the Damien Duff transfer saga. The Blackburn player hadn’t even signed on Saturday, but got top billing ahead of Bridge, who’d already put pen to paper. Someone at the BBC doesn’t like Saints, methinks…
This week, I have mostly been reworking some of our existing web sites to use web standards instead of ghastly nested-table design hacks.
It’s satisfying that, after two years of banging on about it, people that matter (i.e. managers, marketing people, producers) have started to smell the coffee. And the coffee smells a lot like valid (X)HTML/CSS/DOM/ECMAScript.
The benefits of all this? Sites that:
Some fruits of my recent labours:
We’d like you to meet our two newest friends: Ella and Nina. They’re 17 weeks old, quite small, and run around like the clappers! We got them from Bath Cats and Dogs Home on June 29th, and they’ve grown loads already. Ella, the tiger-striped one, is pretty chilled but Nina, the dark tabby one, has vicious claws. It probably doesn’t help that her right eye is cloudy, but we’re giving her eye drops to try and sort that out.
It’s taken a while, but last night I finally set up Gallery on our web space and uploaded the eight pictures that I’ve so far scanned.
Today is my birthday doughnut day. I am 28 years old, or I will be by 18:10 BST.
