I've recently gotten an Apple iPod Shuffle 2nd Generation. It's only a 1Gb player, but I can forgive that limitation for the simple fact that it is:

• Tiny - VERY tiny!
• Easy to use
• Lightweight

Other things to come here soon include:

Currently residing in Bolton for the weekend visiting a friend for her birthday bash. Good fun will be had I reckon :D I've been terrorising people with Polarbear due to lack of Sealpup :D

I've been setting up stuff on my Compaq DL380G2.

One of these is IMAP/IMAPS. I'm now able to get my email at home or away via IMAPS. I simply need to change the server address from local to remote in Thunderbird (i've not gotten round to setting up a seperate account for it yet).

Will attempt to do more site updates today. There is a lot of tidying up work needing doing, I may get around to it.

I've managed to sleep last night too and feel awake and semi-productive.

I have getmail/procmail/exim/dovecot-imap set up and working fine at home now too, so email is centralised which is great for me having multiple machines.

I've been updating just now a few of the panels pages on Vivas.

What I've done is updated:

• Cheesy to reflect his having been sold on.
• Sidney as above.
• The S74 being given a name - Arthur.
• A new page for the HA Van Paul's getting.

What I've noticed though is, some of the pages have lost their text! so when I feel more upto it I shall have to go and write the content again. Grrr!

Still they needed tidying up anyway.

I've today replaced/redesigned the site logo. Think it looks a lot better now. Might alter the colours slightly, but otherwise it looks fine I'm thinking.

I'm happy with how the current theme looks for now too. It seems to work ok.

I've also re-arranged the menu structure quite extensively.

Removed a number of items from the Primary Links (those links you see at the top of the page under the logo). It does now mean I don't need to worry about any Secondary Links too, so that simplifies things theme wise.

Seems that the theme i had a few moments ago 'Aurora' doesn't work well at all in Internet Explorer.

So as a temp. measure i've put a simpler theme in place.

With a combination of the Menu Trim module and a bit of fiddling I've got it working, even without the secondary links showing up.

Menu Trim means that the menus automatically shrink as needed, etc. Making them tidier and smaller. Means I don't get the menu on the left repeating the top navigation links, that'd look sucky wouldn't it!

A new page has now been added for the S74 :)

Not too happy with the images (in terms of layout/positioning).

I'm coming to the conclusion that this barlow theme just doesn't work when images are being used/viewed etc. So another theme (another time) will be selected. Bear with me in the meantime!

Not much else to say. Still happily playing with iBook (will probably post a page about that at some stage!).

Got ecto and drupal 5.1 to talk with each other (hopefully this'll post!).

So, hopefully now I can update this blog via Ecto and have a lot easier time of it as a result!

Photos are in the gallery of the S74. I will probably create a proper page for it later and update the other pages.

Right I've not been able to post anything to this blog for several reasons.

1) I've not actually been able to connect to the site from home at all for several weeks!

2) ecto doesn't seem to want to work with drupal 5.1 it seems :(

Anyway. I can connect again now.

Things have changed a little bit though.

I've split up with Paul. But I have a new partner now, Ellie , who doesn't sadly live close by, but is wonderful so I'm rather happy! :)
