XML feed moving to new location

25th November 2003, mid-afternoon | Comments (8)

Just to let you know that I’m going to be swapping my XML feed to a new location. Sorry to be a pain, but this change will let me offer further syndication options at a later date if needed.

A page explaining the feeds, and detailing any future syndication options, will appear at ~/blog/syndicate/, but I can’t put that up until I kill off the old XML feed, as the addresses are the same.

I’ll be making the change at the end of the week (on 2003-11-30).

I’ve recently added some new features to this site, and thought I may as well tell you about them, plus a few other things you might not notice at first glance…

Return of the pen

7th November 2003, lunch time | Comments (0)

I’ve improved the panorama graphics for this site. I added in shadows on all the trees and it’s made everything look a lot more 3D. I also improved the ‘night’ effect while I was at it, so overall the images are looking a bit more realistic…
