Home again

S’been a while since I last posted a longer blog. I’ve been on holiday in France, as you may have gathered from my Twitters. Since returning through the murk of a wet Wednesday on the M62 I have been quite busy. A day at the Industrial Museum working on a couple of forthcoming exhibitions and also catching up on things.

Yesterday I downloaded the new Rapidweaver 4 and am using it now on this blog. Too early to tell how good it is yet but it certainly looks like a complete overhaul and no cost to users of RW 3.6. Very good!

A new page shows images of this exhibition, currently on display at the Industrial Museum. ickledot was proud to work on yet another successful project at the museum. See Projects (left).

May 11th

For anyone over a certain age and coming from Bradford, this day marks a special anniversary. On this day in 1985, fifty-six football fans died in a tragic fire at the home ground of the local football club, Bradford City. My friend Dave Pendleton has written a short, moving account of today's Memorial Service, held in Centenary Square, Bradford. Well worth reading.

Result from Testing

After turning off the dynamic php sidebar, my archiving returned. All seems well now. Off to watch Newsnight Review.

For some reason my blog has stopped archiving properly and only displaying April's stuff. I'm adding this one just to see if it clears the problem.

Reflecting on local election

As I twittered earlier, I was at the count today. It was a grim day for my side but overall you have to accept these things and take the rough with the smooth. It is a shame though that, when such political shifts of opinion occur, some good guys get caught in the fallout. Many excellent councillors lost their seats today, along with a few who deserved it. One I felt particularly sad for was Malcolm Slater who has worked tirelessly for the people of Keighley East over a number of years. He's the kind of man you'd vote for even if he wasn't in your party. Clearly a (small) majority did not do so. It's their loss.
