Having booked a flight from Manchester to Cebu with Singapore Airlines, it turned out that the first leg was Manchester to Frankfurt – with Lufthansa… Two separate airlines involved, so what’s the procedure for checking in and getting boarding passes? Called Singapore several weeks ago, and they said check in with DLH at Manchester, which […]
Spent a day tearing the remnants of my hair out trying to find a way to stop Koken appending the site title to the <TITLE> in the HTML header (it’s a bit annoying that it does that as it ends up making the <TITLE> too long in many cases). Found it difficult to follow the

Very disappointed with Firefox Quantum, and I’ve changed my main browser to Waterfox. Never heard of it until today, but it’s looking good. And I can get back the plugins that wouldn’t work under Quantum…

I really can’t be bothered to delve into it, and have moved to Coppermine. My main gripe
Looking to move from my home-brewed blog, I’ve been trying just about everything that’s available from the Hosting Cpanel. WordPress looked good for a while (and even considered redoing the whole site using it), but it was taking more time and giving more headaches than I can spare; plus it automatically became a target for
… and hello hosting.co.uk. Couldn’t justify the price hike from £50 to £70 for what is essentially a bit of dabbling, so here I am. So far, I’m impressed by (a) the price, (b) the offerings on cPanel, and (c) the speed compared to Hostinger. Gone back to Coppermine for the gallery, and giving WordPress
