• New village website

    Partly to solve that spam problem, partly to save me some work in the future, the village website now has a sparkly new CMS. CMS = Content Management System and it will meant that I have to spend less time updating the site (as it will enable others to add things as well as me). It also adds a whole host of gadgets I’ve been meaning to add for a while, like a forum. There have been a lot of emails relating to peoples ancestors that used to live in the village, now they have somewhere to post information or ask questions. http://www.boughton-under-blean.org.ukk if you are interested.


  • Some people try and spam anything

    Some people try and spam anything. I run the village website and have a little, simple suggestions form that visitors can leave requests on. The messages go only to me. Being a form, someone is now spamming it with links to websites trying to improve their page rank and visitor numbers no doubt. Only I see the messages so it’s a waste of their time and effort.


  • The Last Templar (Raymond Khoury)

    I like to carry a book with me just in case I have some spare time between jobs. Unfortunately I forgot to take a book with me recently so was forced to buy one as I passed a supermarket. I mean, a whole 5.00 for a book, that’s like three times more than I normally pay! Still, the book I found was called “The Last Templar”. This book reminded me of “The Da Vinci Code” and was equally enjoyable. Instead of the blood line of Jesus Christ that the Da Vinci Code is based around, this was based around an order of knights and their treasure. Not treasure in the financial sense, treasure more as a political controlling factor over the Vatican and Catholic Church. I wont say much more, it may spoil the story if you read it. The story is pure fiction but uses a sprinkling of historical fact to make it seem believable. As much as anything, this was a detective story, some action scenes and a love story for the two main characters.
