| 16-11-03 | Site hits now settled down in the 20-25000 per week and about 250 unique visitors per day. Considering not so long ago I had set a 1000 hit per week limit when I was going to shut to site down. I have to thank Tony Moran for his assistance with this site and must apologise to everyone for delays in replying. Especially those after the MEA program, this mainly due to testing installations as being a single programmer the code is in a continuous state of flux. The latest version is now numbered 1.4.xxx not due to massive code rewrite but to reflect the base database version which has to be upgrade to allow new features. All databases can be read by all versions and updateing older databases is automatically carried out by newer versions of the program. New entry on the stories page - this is read by over 100 people per week but none of you have anything interesting ever happerned to you - now come on!!!!!
P.S. the one about the bird was not me but a work colleague of mine so no complaints please
