Marking of the final entries will soon be done, and all other marks will be included very soon.

Theo Gray .com

I've finally got round to restructuring and tidying up a few parts of my own Theo Gray site! This has been a long time coming, although I still need to do a write up of the Philip Lee and Edlesbray Players sites.

With the Edlesbray Players pantomime starting tomorrow evening (Thursday 20th-Sunday 23rd), at least my part as musical director is now mainly done, and I can hopefully sit back and enjoy (before having to get reviews and pictures up on the site this weekend...).

Marcel Bruijs has sent Dive Aid his account of the tsunami from onboard Queen Scuba.

Dive Aid - useablity?

With the various messages now coming through on the Dive Aid site, it has seemed necessary to distinguish them in some way, so I have now added a graphic to each to aid the reader. How does this work for you? And do you have any other useability comments about the Dive Aid site?

Dive Aid - A Decimated Khao Lak

This weekend has seen the latest additions to the Dive Aid site all now complete.

Today we have added Andrea's story - A Decimated Khao Lak, which includes a number of photos of the devastiation left after the tsunami. In addition, Andy Krant has been talking with a number of dive organisations, and has published responses from SSI and TDI/SDI.

Dive Aid - Donate using PayPal

It's taken a bit of research, but we now have a way for you to donate to Dive Aid direct from the website via PayPal.

There are a number of new messages today as well.

Microsoft Antispyware Public Beta

Good to see Microsoft Antispyware Beta 1 now out for public download.

First impressions are an easy to use product with a few minor issues:

• Clicking buttons while running a scan is very likely to cause your scan to be aborted without warning.
• It didn't pick up any tracking cookies (Ad-aware picked up a fair number immediately after)
• Some of the buttons are very tiny to click (e.g. Scan Options)
• When registry settings for Internet Explorer need restoring for the first time, the wording in the popups and message boxes that appear at the same time is slightly confusing

And that's it, apart from those, there's nothing I could find to fault it.

Update: Just run Ad-aware and MS Antispyware Beta 1 on a heavily infected machine. Ad-aware found just a couple of registry entries, MS Antispyware Beta 1 found 24 threats which included 123 files and 84 registry entries! It seems the rave reviews of Giant are well deserved.

Dive Aid - Paul's harrowing account

Today brings more updates to Dive Aid. In addition to messages from around the world, Paul's harrowing account has now been added to the news section.

Dive Aid latest

Today brings more messages from around the world, along with an update to the Survivors of the Tsunami in happier times article.

St Mary's Eaton Bray

Following on from yesterday's burst of motivation, it seems there's plenty more where that came from!

Today was the turn of the St Mary's Eaton Bray website which has been due its "monthly" update for a few days now. Still more to come this month, but the new pictures from Eileen are now up and the new content will follow as soon as I get it.

Edlesbray Players - Over a decade of panto fun!

It's amazing what a few days of relaxation can do to help motivate me into getting on with things. Now that Dive Aid has settled into a rhythm, it was time for me to get on with other projects, and today it was the turn of the Edlesbray Players.

The Players web should have been started a year ago, but unfortunately it wasn't until October 2004 that I received the content... and life has been very, very busy for the last few months. So finally I've got down to it, and the main pantomime content is now in. A bit of hunting through the Focus Magazine archives to find the missing critiques, and I can think about a new layout!

Edlesbray Players
In 1993, a group of greenhorns decided to introduce a Pantomime into the Parish. Rules were set – anyone who wanted a part would get one - the entrance price and content would allow villages to bring their children... over a decade later, the Edlesbray Players are still going strong, with new talent coming through each year.
