my namesake

I chose my pen name surname from that of a character in a very good book that I read ages ago by Douglas Hill the character appears in the Last Legionary series and is called Keil Randor.
Someone was asking about my name so I went and looked and so here you have it.

Back To Blogging

It is the Christmas holidays now
I have more time.
I can blog again with no fear of being caught and blocked from blogging.
And there is news that definetly needs blogging about
there has been some very bad news recently and I must stand up and be counted.

What shall I write about

Sorry for the long delay before this sudden burst of bloggin - no excuse.

• 64 windows updates.
  
• Firefox 2.0
• making CVS work
• making an Umbuntu live boot disk
• initial impressions of Umbuntu
• Guess my DofE Hobby.
• Got sear to work
• Got ember to work
  

Comment moderation

Comment moderation has been disabled to enable freer debate. The people who caused chaos when this blog first started are probably no longer watching - and if they are I hope they have grown up. I did not like having the moderation on but it was forced on me.
I am still being notified of comments so if rude and offensive ones do appear they will be removed hopefully within a couple of days.
Thank you

Musical glitches

*************ahhhhhhhhhhhhh****** I just accidentaly deleted half my template and published it without half the code and so lost all my changes - aahhhhhhh- I had to choose an new one to replace it I lost everything wahhhhh**************
I am just starting in html and have run into some problems.
I am trying to have the possibility for people to play music from the web page.
I have made 3 attempts using different code that I found but none of it worked properly and I don't know how to make it work - could someone please help?
I first tried with the EMBED tag - but this is not the standard and so I tried the object tag as another website suggested. now I have two different browsers to choose from - IE and FireFox. with the first code IE worked on my computer but caused the browser to close on the main computer :-) though MSN explorer worked on the other computer. the second code failed generally. and the third code has very interesting effects. on FireFox the quick time plug-in ends up with a question mark over the control panel bit and IE has a thing for scrollable text but no controls - which is weird - I thought it worked yesterday. Now the three versions of the code should be below if not - I don't know how to make it display the code rather than executing it - so I am putting it in from the compose mode and hoping that works. oh dear it didn't. - but the third official version displays the name of the song. - Instead I will turn all the triangle brackets to ( ) ones and see if that works. anyway any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
