A great idea for a site redesign I have. The only bugger is it relies on having some actual, you know… content.
That all sounded incredibly Welsh when I read it back, boyo.
I’ve started working on the relaunch of toilet roll internet alongside the launch of my new Dwarf news site. At present speed and course… we’re gonna be doing something else.
My wonderful friend Danette has come up with an excellent name for my new Red Dwarf site. So it’s been all systems go today to get it finished.
Nearly there now. Nearly there.
I started work on my new Red Dwarf site in the early hours of this morning and got the bulk of it done. It’s my best site design to date and I’m really pleased with how it works. But the name is holding up production now, as I really can’t think of one.
Argh!
Just relax, relax, relax, relax…

Why on Io would anyone want to watch anything on such a piddly little screen? The same goes for those new UMD videos for that portable Playstation console. It all seems a complete waste of time and money to me.
This has decided it by the way - I’m going to relaunch my Red Dwarf site again. And this time as a blog so I can update it on the move.
Keep it under your hats.
toilet-roll internet will be returning to the Interweb later this year. There, I said it.
RWS phoned this morning to ask if I could remove the HOur Bank charity’s website that I designed two years ago. Apparently, users have complained that when searching for said organisation, search engines are displaying pages on my webspace as the first dozen results.
Now, the only reason I left the site on my webspace was to demonstrate to those at HOur Bank how the website would work. But once I’d finished the site it just sat there for ages and nobody did anything with it. Then someone emailed out of the blue a year or so later saying that one of the contact details had changed.
Now to me, this sounded as if they were in fact using my site, but running it off of my long-winded NTL URL as opposed to their own server.
Anyway, during communications with RWS today, I learnt of the charity’s new policy disallowing a dedicated site. This is, quite frankly, an utterly stupid policy - especially considering they know that people are searching for them on the ‘net. And surely then, if my site is their only ‘official’ online presence, taking it down makes even less sense.
