One e-mail was all it took, but as of 2 o’clock today the holding page has been taken down and we are back on-line again!
Not sure why the holding page was there in the first place, maybe there’s a God/god and he was trying to tell me something? Maybe some bloke just bunged it on my site by mistake… we will just never know and it’s a mystery I shall take to my grave.

Anyone remember the Krypton Factor? That was a rubbish program, and slightly, well…

Talking of rubbish programs…
I have been amazed recently at the complexity of doing what is seemingly simple stuff with databases in VB.NET. Now, I understand that the database classes in the new frameworks allow you to do cleaver stuff, and I know, and I have benefited, from the powerful UI controls. I have also found out that getting what you need done, is not impossible with the help of the internet. By why is it such a carry on? I wish Microsoft would make VB simpler, smaller, and faster and let C# have all the “power”. What’s the point of two languages that at exactly (exactly!) the same? - Oh, and can you write wizards that actually work?! - Donkeys!
