Blog

Added Spyderco Kumo, Cold Steel Classic Trapper and SAK Forrester to knives photos.

Added brand new ‘Knives in the Movies’ main section!

I have noticed something odd about Google searching (well, either that or I’m being very thick here…).

Say you search for stick (random word), the top result at the time of writing is "www.stick.com - Stick Enterprises Inc. Manufacturer of two-handed fretboard tapping instruments.". OK, so what happens if you search for stick stick? I wouldn’t really expect the results to change but they do, now the top result is "Stick Cricket - The World’s Best Online Cricket Game!".

Added new stump cross website to site portfolio.

Sigh. I thought when I moved house I’d get more jobs done because I was livng here - nope! To be fair it’s nearly finished but there’s a small list of things to do that just aren’t getting done.

When I was coming round just to decorate and not living here there was nothing else to do so I got on with things; now when I see something that needs finishing off I just think sod it and go watch telly or something!

29th December 2006 - added Renovation photos.

13th February 2006 - added Yafforth photos.

28th January 2006 - re-did the blades page. Changed all of the individual pages for each knife into the standard site format (all pages in site are now in the same format), changed photos to be gallery based and added fact sheet to each page. Added completely new pages for SOG Bowie, Cold Steel Ti-Lite and Kershaw Leek as well as a new Kenpo Knives page which includes my Hibben Alaskan Survival knife.

27th January 2006 - Added blog! Made changes to the main stylsheet to fix the problem I was having whereby the wrapper div was only expanding to the size of the main text div and not the menu div, i.e. if the menu was longer than the main text it was sticking out of the bottom of the bounding box! Fixed this by floating both the main div and menu div. Removed all messy instances of <p><br /><p> that were scattered around as spacers as this is messy and poor markup! Proper use of margins in the CSS should have everything looking OK. Globally removed two unused divs as well as unused footer paragraph from all pages.

22nd January 2006 - updated the Jackie Chan page which I hadn’t touched in ages. Added a couple more reviews and added IMDB links to each film (used a perl script to parse the HTML from Jackie’s IMDB page and extract all the database IDs then parsed them back into my page). Broke changelog down into archived years and current year format.

21st January 2006 - moved all the Garforth Old and New pages within the standard page templates instead of having them full screen and made some minor grammatical changes to the text. More pages are planned for this section as people seem to enjoy it; I get far more e-mail about those pages than any others!
