More Tech Stuff

The website is now on a new server :).  Here's why:

The old laptop running my email server is pretty much dead (it's next stage in life is a digital photo frame).  So, I now need a new machine to put the email server on.  I tried a virtual machine on the current site server, but it's only just fast enough to run itself, let alone a virtual computer, too.  So, the site has been moved to a different computer, and I'll be putting the email system on to the old web server.  Should work fine...

Meanwhile, I've got some fine-tuning to do so that the site looks nice in IE 8 (and Firefox, and Opera, which I now have).

A techie post: Internet Explorer 8

The 2nd Beta version of IE 8 is now out and about, and I have to say, it's pretty quick.  All this time that IE 7 has been "slow", it's now pretty nippy.  Not only that, but it is now much more standards compliant than its almost 3-year-old predecessor.

So what will happen to Firefox now?  Their only way of getting people to download it is by telling them it's faster and more secure than Internet Explorer.  But, not any more.  It's about the same.  Plus, the new Firefox (v3.0) takes forever to start up.  I can start IE8 and get to my homepage before FF3 even shows up on the taskbar.

Anyway, enough with that.  I've updated (give us a sec...) the poll to reflect this post, so get voting :).
