Gone East for Now !! Welkom !!To our new look site. Following the purchase of some new hardware we can now offer a more professional and reliable service. As promised we have lots of new ideas for the coming months but are currently consolidating our position and considering our options (sounds like you're after a transfer - ed.) We would like to thank our readership "wherever you are and whoever you may be" for their loyal and long suffering support. Parish NoticesFor Those Using NotifiersThe problem is these will trigger even when there is a silly change on the site. The solution is to put a small text message at the top of the page in red when we do this. Otherwise just check the headline. If you feel particularly stupid and have relatives abroad you can use our currency converter program in your emails. You do need to download awk and save of the file to disk. I wouldn't bother but if you do decide to do it you should be warned that you send messages to the UK at your own risk. A Full CopyMay we recommend the excellent Webminer available from Download.com among other sources for copying (mirroring an entire site) as we have had a few failures recently. A fast connection is essential however. Check the Mirror Web Structure tickbox and select all files in the filter to copy the site in its original structure as some of the file names are duplicated I believe it also as facilities to update the copy only if the files on the server have changed. Home Yahoo !!
Just trying to work out what to do with our new domain name ... In short if we are creating Home Yahoo replace all local references in home.htm with full ones and all references to Home Yahoo with local ones. We also add the code for the weather which is Yahoo specific. At the same time as we upload a new set of pages we also email Index.html to our Yahoo account so that in the event of a complete system failure we still have an up to date page as well as implementing a backup strategy.

The name change is to reflect the international make up of the readership. In case you are new to the site it stands for "Nederland Door Britse Ogen". In case you wondered we are strictly a non-profit making site - we pay for everything ourselves and are not currently planning a float on the Nasdaq but wouldn't say no to a non-interfering sponsor.
Did you find yourself drawn to the eye ? Yes I did as well and I found I always made it the focus of my attention even though I knew I should have been reading the headline. I have no expertise in the area but this is obviously a base instinct after all even babies have it. It is actually the reason why the trick of having a tenner (see how old I am you have to use a 20 now) to get served quickly in a bar or pub. The barman/maid reacts to the movement instinctively and then you follow it up with eye contact. It is impossible for them to pretend they haven't seen you so they tend to serve you first to avoid embarrassment. Experienced bar staff know this of course and have absolutely no problem with this old trick.
