Great, abundant Disney coasters for all.
i’ve been looking for a code editor for linux which is similar to homesite and edit plus and have found the bluefish code editor. It looks good, but haven’t downloaded it yet - waiting for that elusive paid linux project.
If you have a site which does not load at all in netscape 4.x, here are two table related errors I have experienced which may cause this:-

An article on the register about googles plans to treat blogs seperately to “authoritative” web content, as blogs dominate rankings and make it hard for people to find “real” information.

This is the website of a very good friend of mine from home Mark Russell, AKA Mr Doo. He’s now lives in Malvern, UK with girlfriend Anna and son Orion and makes a living as a Juggler, clown and stilt walker, travelling as far as the middle east to perform and run circus skills workshops. Contact him here if you want to hire him.
He also works as part of a duo called Phillippe-Philloppe, who specialise in shows, walkabout and workshops involving club passing, fire juggling, stilt walking, magic and clowning.
Last time I saw mark we bumped into each other by chance while in a traffic Jam on the M5 somewhere around worcester.
We used to skate and BMX together. He was always better than me.
