After more than a month of my blog offline I've finally got it back up and running.
The server I share with Ian Griffiths died horribly at the end of November. However, Ian being far more concientious than me got his blog up and running fairly quickly after the server was repaired. i got snowed under by alot of teaching and the Christmas season but finally I've spent some time copying files around and changing server configuration settings.
Its good to be back online
