It lives!

The brand new, all singing, all dancing Don’t Dump That web site is online!

It’s been a lot of hard work but it’s worth it for a good cause (and to get rid of the horrible old set-up…)
Kieran and I have only just finished the last bit of work on it (merging the hundreds of separate user databases into one) and I must have been back about 10-15 mins when the SQL server decided to take a nose dive!

Luckily, it seems it was due to my fiddling with the server’s clock (trying to get the Xen domU system clock, Xen dom0 system clock and the hardware clock to say the same thing!) so it’s all back online now and nothing to do with the new code that we’ve unleashed on the world… phew!
Go check it out and start advertising all that old junk that you’ve been meaning to get rid of. In the mean time, I need some much deserved sleep

Hello and welcome

Welcome to the brand new Spheron1.co.uk, my sparkly new web site pretending not to be a blog. As even Naomi has her own proper website/blog now I decided that it was about time I pulled my finger out and got one. It just felt like I was letting the side down without one and since I own this domain it seemed like the perfect opportunity do something with it.

The site is still very much a work in progress. The Gallery more or less works but is looking a bit bare. I’ll flesh it out with pictures as well as uploading some more stories over the coming days. As soon as I am feeling slightly more creative I will have a go at skinning the site, until then you’ll have to put up with the default Drupal skin.

In the mean time, check out some of the sites in my links in the menu on the left. Rob’s Foon ("still not a blog" in his own words) is a great source of endless entertainment and Kieran’s recent post on the future of pancakes is an interesting and thought provoking read.

By the way, congratulations to Naomi and Kieran who just got engaged. Head over to to take a look at the beautiful ring on her midget hands.
