Strike Out!
On strike today, the second of our little one-day efforts to try to
stop this government of lunatics from wiping out large areas of the
Civil Service. It's noticeable how little media attention this one has
had: the BBC News website stuck it away a long way down inside its
'Business' section (it seems even the BBC thinks the Civil Service is a
private-sector organisation now); the Guardian mentioned it
briefly, as did the Express (whose report was virtually
identical - what price media diversity when the idlers just parrot what
comes from AP or Reuters?); the Independent? Nada. the
Telegraph, the Mail, the Sun, the Mirror?
Zilch.
Anyway, it was a beautiful Spring day, so I had an early lunch and
went out with my faithful camera for a walk around the village. Some of
the results may well be seen in The
Gallery before very long.
And, in case you were wondering, I've finally sorted out the CSS
problems with the revamped site. It seems that it was the navigation
sidebar which was causing most of the trouble. Now I've rejigged that,
everything seems to fit nicely into place, even at 800x600. There are
just a few minor coding issues to sort out (like the fact that I didn't
know the difference between an 'Alt' tag and a 'Title' tag on images),
and then it should be ready to go by the time I take my annual June
break. This means that the site will be largely unavailable for a few
days, as I'll need to remove everything from the server and upload the
whole of the new site. I'll give you more warning of this nearer the
time.
In other news, it seems that my little canine
friend has gone. He/she hasn't been seen in the backyard since
before Easter, and when I went past there last Friday, there was a cat
dozing on the flagstones. I hope nothing bad has happened.
