I have been travelling around Europe for the last month or so and I have been completely out of reach. [STRIKEOUT:Unfortunately it looks as though the solution I had implemented for code highlighting has died during this time,][FIXED] [STRIKEOUT:but I have also noticed that it is stripping backslashes which is affecting the code – especially the MS SQL import script I have supplied on one of my posts][FIXED]. It contains references to newline characters etc (n), which have been destroyed by the Wordpress plug in I am using called Sniplets. Read more ⇒

I did not realise it but it has been almost 6 months since the last update to this website. So I guess I have been busier than I thought of late! Anyway I created a new design for the site and added some features which I felt were lacking. I had planned to write my own blogging engine, but when I tried the upgrade to Textpattern 4.0.4 I realised that most of the things that annoyed me about previous releases had been fixed and improved.
