Andrew Beaton :: Blog

Well the eagle eye ones of you out there may have noticed that I’ve changed my theme yet again. This is not a permanent thing but I received an email from my hosting company ( DreamHost ) yesterday saying that my version of blogging software is out of date, and posed a serious security risk.

Not wanting to allow some immature wannabies to trash my blog and potentially infect all of my four readers, I decided to update to the latest build.

On a plus note, the admin interface does look a lot better than before and running the latest version means I’ll be able to add all sorts of funky things to the site soon.

Anyway, please bare with me while I sort out the theme. Think I’ll go for something bright this time

On another note, a  new web project was launched the other week, called WiFi In. The project aims to product Google maps of WiFi hotspots in major towns and cities across the UK. It’s a community based project, which means that anyone can add the wifi hotspots or update information.

I think it’s a cool idea. Helpful if you want to pop for a coffee or lunch but still need access to your emails or the latest nude celebrity scandal news feed.

I’ve setup the Weston super Mare WiFi map, so go have a quick ganders, if you know any WiFi spots in sunny old Weston super Mare, paid for or free, add them to the map. Feel free to add information about the location too. Hopefully the whole project will turn into a really useful tool.

Well I best get off to work and earn some money so I can keep paying to spend my nights killing dragons and making lovely leather bracers…
