Mar 2007 - Site update - MrCeri Sponsorship

A while back I began offering the opportunity to sponsor the MrCeri site, to help cover hosting and development costs. Since making the offer I've had zero takers. I think this is partly because I placed an exact monitory value on sponsorship (with monthly and annual deals), which was simply too high.

So this month I have changed the deal - from now on I'm inviting sponsors to "make me an offer". This might be:

• money
• vouchers for an online store (e.g. Amazon)
• credit at the sponsor's store (assuming they run an ecommerce store)
• complementary licenses of the sponsor's software product (assuming they sell software)
• reciprocal advertising on the sponsor's site
• etc.

And instead of offering monthly and annual deals, from now on the length of the sponsorship will depend upon the value of what is being offered.

This offer is open to anyone and everyone. Whether you have a huge online business, or just run a small personal blog, I'll consider all offers (though I reserve the right not to accept them!)

Mar 2007 - New site content added - Adventures in PovRay, Part 2

I've been meaning to mess around with PovRay again ever since my first adventure over a year ago.

This time I set myself a slightly more ambitious task: to build a PovRay model of Antony Gormley's 'Field'. Click here to see how I got on...

Feb 2007 - AGFC website

Last year I joined a football club in Cardiff (that's a soccer club for any visitors from across the pond). I'm useless at football, but I know one end of an HTML tag from another, so I figured the best way to contribute to the club would be to build them a decent website :o)

And so is born the new and improved www.agfc.co.uk. It's the shortest time I've ever taken to build a site from scratch, and I'm pretty pleased with it. All the content is database driven, allowing for quick and easy updating, essential when a site is maintained in your spare time.

So have a look, and let me know what you think. And if you happen to play for a club in Cardiff / South Wales, get in touch if you want to organise a game! (we don't play in a league, but we tend to play friendlies against other South Wales teams most Friday evenings between September and May/June).

Jan 2007 - New site content added - General FAQs

I figured it might not be obvious just what this website is all about, especially for visitors referred here from a search engine. So this month I added a general FAQ page to help answer obvious questions.

At the same time I spruced up the look and feel of all the software-specific FAQ pages on the site.
