1.1.06 - A shit load of updates, including new images in some pages, the mathsoc page. Also a video online now!

20.01.06 - There will be no updates for a while as i get some new stuff thought up and typed up, I'm also working on making the site HTML 4.01 valid, you may notice the home page is but the rest of the site is not, with a possible move to CSS too. Theres a new site map page online at the moment but that needs reformatting too. So I appricitate your patience while I work out these little problems it will be worth it when finished, for me at least anyway.

05.02.06 - Well I've been mighty busy here the last few weeks, the CSS upgrade went very well and as a result I'm VERY pleased with the new look of the home page. This new system makes many of the pages much smaller, and easier to change in the future should I need to. Elsewhere theres a new last weeks weather online, a new Mr. Adamson episode online, and a new film revier online too. I hope these will keep you busy for a few weeks whilst I get even more new stuff ready for online. In the meantime, the guestbook is back in action so leave useful comments, but PLEASE don't make it a pain in the arse to read, or it will be taken away.

18.02.06 - Another few weeks another site re-code, amazingly this should be the last time a re-code is done for a long time. It involved changeing from just HTML to SHTML, which means I get the same navigation bar on all the pages, except Mr. Adamson, that uses a different system, as its unique. It also means that there will be a lot of dead links too, if you can please email me, so i can fix them or post in the guestbook. In guestbook theres only been a few rogue comments, which is good, I have reported the offenses to the relevant people, I don't know if that'll fix it though. Otherwise today we've got a new film review online, and another last weeks weather online too.

02.03.06 - I've been busy this last few weeks, one or two problems were reported about the site not working, and some not reported but found anyway. Still, in the last few weeks I've got another bumper 2 weeks worth of weather updates, a film review, a first pub review, a rant, a how to use a bus guide, and another old article. Plus another episode of the fantastic Mr. Adamson. And to celebrate 10 chapters of Mr. Adamson we've got pictures of him online.

17.03.06 - This months mini update is mostly maintence stuff, but in the batch of updated pages are: More photos, another film review, a small update to the site map and the characters of Mr. Adamson, and a HUGE ammount of new favourites, including some new blogs. In the meantime, we've set the site up with a St. Patricks day green, this'll be up till Monday 20th March, unless I forget to take it back. The front page gets a tidy up, thats right the Christmas Mr. Adamson banner has gone. Everywhere else get a quick spell and typo check, so it wont be long till that bloody "Your help needed:" will be gone. Next big update on the 2^nd April (ish)

1.04.06 - This month we only have a few new pages, this is due to me being lazy, and mucking arround on the internet. But that does mean that I'm going to try and get another episode of Mr. Adamson online before the end of the month. This month sees the end of last weeks weather, a picture of Agent M., another one of 101 ways to kill a Dalek, some other stuff I forgot to add last time, a reformat of the guestbook, A review of Osheas, and another episode of Mr. Adamson.

17.04.06 - The mini update this month is mini, by definition, this month, we've only got literally two or three updates. These are: a new chapter of Mr. Adamson, a few typo's fixed in the Mr. Adamson site, and one or two new favourites. This it due to the fact I'm now revising, and I'm sure you'll agree that revision for exams is more important than this place. I the meantime I leave you in the safe hands of Andy's Blog or failing that My Blog, or even if thats not enough, then one of the many, many, many favourites I have.
Elsewhere, We went to Alton Towers again, but as of yet I've not made a page for that, and were planning on going out again in the coming week, but still no official word, Filming has also begun on our mini-video, this is much shorter, and shitter, but it's a music video, as theres very few photos, and no video made yet. Over the summer AtomWay is planning on getting killed, and then regenerating, well really it's just a tweak to the existing layout, nothing to be exciting about, work has started on it, but it's no where near finished. We also need to re-organise the sitemap page, and some other sections before the new look can be finished. Screenshots to come soon.

17.05.06 - A month since a update, so its time to make a brief appearance here ...
This time We've literally only got the one new page online, thats the AtomWay Beta page. Obviously It's not the new look just yet, its still the proof of concept images that I've been going on about for the past few weeks. So thats all, and I kind of mucked up the Mr. Adamson photos, it was meant to be updated this time arround, but instead I put the file up before so thats online too. Anyhow time for more revision now. So to all those sitting their exams now, then "Good luck everybody". Also another point, The site is no longer accessable through the btinternet.com address only the www.adam.mccluskey.btinternet.co.uk address, which makes things easier(if indeed stupid).

28.05.06 - This week while in the middle of a revision session I decided to write up the alton towers number 3 page(number 1 of 2006). I also added a new way to kill a Dalek, death by Dalek. Also a brief update to the about page, and the submit guestbook comments has moved to a new page location, hopefully this should stop the spam for a while. Please keep your comments coming in for the new look site. We're still tweaking it. Next on the adgenda is to re-format some of the pages, so a brief period of no updates then.

12.06.06 - A few updates this time: new film review. A new Mr. Adamson chapter. Another way to kill a Dalek. Some more photos taken in Manchester. And a new section BCW.

01.07.06 - Finally the new look has gone live, and to celebrate later today we will: re-open the guestbook for a while, fully launch BCW, have a new last week's weather, have a few new pages here and there, a new pub review, and maybe the last Mr. Adamson chapter.
With any luck the new navigation and the new look homepage should be loaded, if not I've messed up the code, which would get fixed ASAP. Otherwise enjoy the new look.

03.07.06 - After testing the new look which works, as does the poll. We've finally changed the format of the site map, it's now alphabetical, updated the favourites, so each link opens in a new window(or tab), re-opened the guestbook, updated the old versions page, reviewed the oxford, and done last weeks weather.
Phew a load of work all done, and there will be a new chapter of Mr. Adamson soon, but first I have to type it, but its too hot! We still need to tweak the fonts used, as the smaller text is a bit too small I think.

29.07.06 - After spending far too much time relaxing in the past month we've finally got two new pages online, BCW chapter 1 - pilot, and a Review of the cheshire cat. In updated pages we've reformatted the review who page, and changed the titles of the sections which was silly of me to not fix it in the first place.

19.08.06 - I've really not been bothered by the website in the past few weeks, as I've no fresh new ideas, maybe some will come in the next few days, then again, maybe not. But for now, keep visiting the blog It's updated every day now. Or watch the new Barge video(Links down there).

28.8.06 - This week we review the film Miami Vice, See the best parts of Owens Park, Parts one and two, Launch the all new Blog, find out a bit more about my favourite subject; me, update the poll, and find out how to kill a Dalek by creating home made air conditioning.

10.9.06 - Truthfully I've been more concerned about updating the blog(links on the left) recently, it's real good honest! Unfortunately I know this place still has its visitors so I've uploaded another Mr. Adamson chapter, a pub review, and updated the contact page.

28.9.06 - I've got an excuse, I'm back in Uni, and can't update the site from there. But today I've updated one or two pages, you proberbally won't notice which ones unless I tell you, as it's just the HTML code that's changed, and thats for any future potential XHTML upgrades, not that any are planned in the next 12 months. But for now, theres the new page on Room photos, and a brief update to the '05/06 room page, you might notice that, but it really isn't anything important. Until next time, the blog will continue to get a few updates.

17.12.06 - Well, sorry about the lack of updates over the past three months, but in return theres the long(and I mean long) awaited season finale of Mr. Adamson. Perhaps it may well be time to do some spell checking on the whole mini-site. Who knows??
Also there is a temporary christmas logo, which'll stay there for as long as I can be bothered.

There is a new news page for 2007 available here.
