Welcome to my Web site!
This site is VERY much a work-in-progress - over time I expect/hope it will grow into a resource for friends, enemies, and Windows users alike.
It's best viewed in Internet Explorer v6 and above - in a window at least 800x600 (OK, you can see it in 640x480, but it's cramped as hell!)

If you have a problem with Windows look at one of these sites - you'll probably find the answer there! Windows Support CenterMicrosoft Support OE questions and answers |
This is North Wales The weather is almost always: Cloudy - with rain at times (summarised as: 9 months Winter - 3 months bad weather!) |
| Breaking News | If you have a problem with your PC -
use the newsgroups to help you solve it!
If you have Outlook Express (or Windows Mail, if you have Vista running!) installed, and use it for email, then you can subscribe to the MS public newsgroups directly. There's no fee, and no particular requirements - just click on this link, and it will set up an account, and take you to the Windows ME general discussion group. It will also download all the available newsgroup titles on the MS servers, and you can search them for one more appropriate for your needs. Subscribe to ones you want to see details of, and you're off! If you don't use OE, then you can still access the newsgroups through the Web interface (also known as the CDO). At present the interface is atrocious - but it does work, and it's being updated/upgraded quite a lot this year, so things should improve. Click on this link for the introduction.

| March 2009 - Plus ca change This past couple of years have been rather chaotic - with joblessness, health, and money worries among other things (including the death of my father - about which more elsewhere, maybe). This has however led to the loss (hopefully temporary!) of my MVP Status - hence the missing logo for those of you who have visited the site before. I'm now concentrating mostly on Windows Vista for my own use, so ME additions to the site will be minimal - but nothing is going to be removed for the foreseeable future, and Amjor changes are currently underway. The site is now CSS based - which hopefully (when I get around to it) will make it easier to maintain and easier to read - also reducing bandwidth. There's a little new content, but the major page under construction at the moment is the End-Of-Life lifesaver - enabling you to store all the Windows Updates offline for use if MS take down the Windows Update site, and you have to reinstall ME. (if you want to see what the project is like at the moment - look here ) |

In 2002, I was awarded the status of MS-MVP (Win9x) for the first time, and re-awarded in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 - if you want to see what that means, then look here. Due to many problems in 2007/8, I lost the award that year - but hope to be back again (in both ME and Vista) in the near future, and intend to adhere to the precepts of the award in the meantime! |
