I’ve been fascinated by Chalicotheres ever since I saw them on Walking with Beasts but up to now the only miniature representation has been the 1/72 scale David Krentz version, which whilst a better sculpt is small and pricey. So big kudos to Mega for bringing one of my favourite animals to life.
The latest issue of Ragnarok, the journal of fantasy and science fiction wargaming, was published this week and contains the usual mix of useful and off-the-wall articles. I liked the Daleks, the moon landings and the discussion on alternative history.
Combined two stylesheets into one (originally the second stylesheet had been @imported in order to hide it from Netscape 4, those were not the good old days)
Converted the site to HTML 5, just because I can, and added some ARIA role attributes for accessibility
Pulled in the latest blog posts onto the homepage (using Magpie RSS to do so)
Added all the new sites to the navigation
Added social bookmarking links to most pages so visitors can send the page straight to Google, Facebook, LiveJournal, Delicious, Stumbleupon or Twitter
Launched a new site today for the first ever London Restaurant Festival. There’s also a blog and twitter. If you’re in or near London in October and like to eat then check it out.
Last night I had a dream in which someone had hacked our servers and replaced all the images with, correct pixel sizes and file names, “glamour” photos. Which was a rather odd thing for a hacker to do. We were debating whether to shut the site down whilst we fixed it, or leave it up and try to repair things on the fly. Could we restore the images directories from a backup or could we make the CMS republish everything?
Rather relieved to get into work to find everything working as normal; on the servers. All the desktops had been upgraded to MS Office 2007…
Mega Miniatures have enhanced their extensive range of animal miniatures with some prehistoric mammals – a Doedicurus, a Diprotodon and best of all a Chalicotherium.
