  • A message to all who view this blog:

    I have been looking at viewing stats for the entries I make, and can see that the graph looks similar to the side elevation of a mountain range. Some topics are way more popular than others, but I am not running a popularity contest here.

    If you have an issue, complaint, or would just like to make a general comment, please feel free to contact me.

    • IE7 'masquerade' ..

      As with all upgraded versions of Internet Explorer, some websites have been unable to be displayed because they require a specific version of IE. Run this little 'fix' that enables IE7 to 'fool' websites into believing that it is IE6. The link will take...
