RSS Feed Launched

Mon, 25 Oct 2004 12:29:24 +0000

As updates to this site are sporadic to say the least, I have decided to add an RSS feed to the site. This should make it easier for you guys to know when I have changed or added something, without you having to check the site all the time.

RSS changes

Mon, 25 Oct 2004 13:14:53 +0000

It's only been going an hour or so and I'm making changes already. I'll calm down I promise. I have altered the feed to accomodate the Live Bookmarks feature of some browsers. I have also added the feed to some directories such as Syndic8.

More Feed Mods

Wed, 27 Oct 2004 08:46:42 +0000

Added our feed to technorati. I'm probably not going to go too mad with these, but a bit of publicity never did anyone any harm. Next I have to start with some major updates to the site.

iPod Special Edition U2

Thu, 28 Oct 2004 17:06:57 +0000

I'm putting final touches to the site and I'll try and have it online after the weekend. I'm off with the DOC. U2 and Apple have released an iPod special editon, which I think is really cool. We'll probably see loads of these specials soon. The band even filmed a promtional ad especially.

Discovery gallery update

Mon, 1 Nov 2004 12:47:28 +0000

In September, I joined some members of the DOC on a green laning day in the Cotswolds. I have added some pictures that were taken. I have more pictures to add to this gallery which I'll get around to soon.

Bookmarks updated

Mon, 1 Nov 2004 15:42:54 +0000

I have added more bookmarks. I see a lot are broken links. I will have to to do a major overhaul at some point.

New server

Mon, 15 Nov 2004 15:50:22 +0000

With thanks to Bob, we are moving on to a new server within the next few days. This one has many more fetures including php and MySQL. So expect great things if I can ever get around to writing it.

Server change

Wed, 1 Dec 2004 20:53:03 +0000

The server changeover is now complete and everything appears to be working. I have been making some minor changes today, but expect much more new content over the coming weeks.

New photos

Fri, 3 Dec 2004 12:24:16 +0000

I have put up some new photos of a day I spent in the Peak District of Derbyshire with the DOC.

New bookmarks

Mon, 6 Dec 2004 11:09:30 +0000

I have added some new bookmarks to the site. One of note is 4x4 Prejudice which is essential reading for all 4x4 owners in my opinion.

RSS2WAP

Thu, 27 Jan 2005 21:23:14 +0000

Orbsols' RSS feed is now also available on your mobile phone. Using the WML format and WAP technology, you can get the latest from Orbsol whilst you are on the move.

4x4 Prejudice

Fri, 28 Jan 2005 18:30:19 +0000

I have added a link to the 4x4 Prejudice site. It is well worth a visit to help combat the lies that are being spread about our beloved vehicles.

Worcester Wolves

Mon, 21 Feb 2005 13:09:31 +0000

I went to see the Worcester Wolves on Saturday. I'd never been to a live basketball game before, but I was truly hooked. The atmosphere was superb and despite narrowly losing 77-78, I am now a massive fan and will be attending often.

New bookmarks

Mon, 21 Feb 2005 13:18:59 +0000

I have added yet more bookmarks to the site. I really must prune the dead wood at some point.

More Discovery photos

Mon, 23 May 2005 12:24:08 +0000

I have been doing some work to the Discovery. I have trimmed the bumper and fitted a steering guard. I have just uploaded some new photos of the work. Some point soon I'll re-write the Disco section with much more information.

Bug Fixes

Mon, 13 Jun 2005 12:04:04 +0000

Have spent the last hour fixing some broken code on the site that has obviously been broken for along time but I have only just spotted it. :-( But the good news is that I have finally started writing my networking turtorial. The first of the pages should be up very soon.

Bookmark updates

Sun, 3 Jul 2005 10:04:50 +0000

I made some additions and fixes to the bookmarks page today. Look out for a major update to this page in the next few days.

New photos

Wed, 27 Jul 2005 16:10:30 +0000

Some new photos of "grep" have been added.

More Discovery pictures

Mon, 26 Sep 2005 13:05:36 +0000

My latest pictures come from the off-road course at the Stoneleigh 4x4 Show. The course was a little dry, but it was still fun to drive.

I'm not dead!!!!

Yes, I know its been over a year since I last posted anything to the site. I have been busy, but its mostly down to apathy. However I'm going o make a concerted effort, so look out for lots of updates over the next few months.
