Ah chem, lol.

It's on tonight!

Bump in order?

Alright love, do you reckon the plane takes off?

I used wood dowell to extend my old monty bars. All you have to do is hammer it down the bars a few inches (needs to be tight, but if you get soft wood like pine then it squashes slightly), then cut off the end so there is an inch or so sticking out, then wrap it in tape until it's the same width as the bar, then just colour the end in with a black pen, and wack the grips of the top. Lavely.

Never heard of speakers Dave? You use a screen reading program to read the page out loud to you. Images can't be read though, so the links are useless. Same with partially sighted people who would be using a high visibility browser, it shows only the text, so if the links are image, they can't be viewed. There are a million analogies I could come up with, but websites are like any consumer product, you never know who is going to buy (or in this case, use) them, but is that any excuse for just aiming for the masses? You need to cater for everyone, and yes actually by law now believe it or not. If a blind or deaf person believes you are discriminating against them by not having your site accessible to them, they can take you to court over it. It's in the immensely interesting Disability Discrimination Act which I had to read for a presentation I did at uni. (Actually I met Harry on the back of that as well). All the cases have been dropped so far though because whenever it came up, the companies quickly sorted their sites out. Interestingly, you can actually get a braille monitor. It puts pins up for each letter so you can read it as a printout. Obviously a lot of design is subjective, but there are guidelines for best practice out there that have been approved by the RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind) and the DRC (Disability Rights Commission). Anyway I'm done, as I've said before 99% of the site is fine, just the remaining 1% would stop any blind person from viewing it. This isn't new legislation either, it's been around since 2002.

Thats what I was getting at without going into detail. Nick, of course it matters if the build and code are shoddy. Just because it works for you doesn't mean it will work for everyone. If you ask me the role of a web designer is to build sites that can be viewed by all potential viewers. This new inspired site can't be navigated by someone using a high visibility browser or a screen reader. There is at least one rider who will won't be able to use the site, and if you ask me it needs sorting just for his sake. If he wanted to view the site he should be able to!

Well I'm kinda in the middle of both "sides", so I'd just rather not get into the proper gritty details. Design wise, I don't don't particularly like it but I don't dislike it, it gets the words and images into my face without annoying me, so it's doing it's job really, even if it is a little 2003. I'm sure Cox have their reasons for coding it how they have, and while I don't agree in places and I'd do it slightly differently, I don't actually care enough to expand. There's only one glaring "error" in my opinion, (which is actually subjective anyway), and I'm sure if Dave actually wanted to hear it he'd get in touch. All in all, it does the job fine if you ask me, but it'd do well to have a bit of work.

Computers are gay.

I suppose the inbred farmers from New Mills has already been done? Chuckle Brothers?

Actually f**k it, no wayyyy I'm getting involved....

There's a limit to how much space you can use on the server, you have to delete some old stuff or just start using Vimeo/Photobucket. Same for videos and Pictures, and other attachments.

My brother told his tutor that if they're allowed to go home early because of football, he's going home early when Wimbledon is on. How are "we" doing in this match then? I'm not watching because no-one has offered me free food if I do.

Does no-one drink Special Brew any more?

Personally I'd wait for Tarty, then you get a warranty and you're supporting someone nice.

That won't work as it's a freewheel, it's way too tight. I've done this before, you have to unscrew the lockring, remove all the bearings, springs and pawls, then clamp the inner bearing race that screws onto the crank arm in a vice, slide a pole over the end of the crank arm and use that as leverage to get it off.

I have it in trials-forum v3.1, but not in cleancut.

Mixing graphics cards should be fine if you're not running SLI or CF though? If you're going to game though you'd be far better off getting matching ones. Another 5830 is on my list but I can't justify it at the moment!

I hadn't posted yet because I couldn't remember where I knew of him from, just realised it must have been in Hop Idol. Such a tragedy, RIP.

Ahhh, thought you were asking if I was using a pre-built MVC. Nope, it's all procedural, I've got to keep it as light on the server as possible because they're refusing to move hosts, and they pay for the domain, but the hosting is free. As a result having numerous require()s slows the load times down significantly, it made more sense just to do it procedural. I'm not hot enough on OO stuff yet to do it on a client's site, and what they wanted to achieve is so simple, yet needs to be done ASAP.

Nah I'm writing it all from scratch, it's actually all very simple stuff. I wouldn't mind apart from it's for a client and it's unfinished, but when I get back to working on my new site I'll be re-using some of the same stuff, and I'd be happy for you to have a look at that. There's nothing special on this one anyway, it's just for changing dates for sports courses. The most interesting script I've written for it is for uploading images...

Looks good to me Mike, couple of things I'd change about the markup personally, like for the quotes at the side I'd utilise the <blockquote> tag, and I believe you can store custom fonts on the server so they download and display without the need for images, so you could still navigate it with a screen reader or in a text only browser (some older handhelds use them). Just picky stuff really though, other than that it's all good! P.S: Forgot how much of a milf your missus is.....
