So it's been a few months what has Klynton been up to?

Well towards the beginning of January I went down to London to help showcase our new software at the BETT Show (British Education and Teacher Training).

It's that time of year again. The snow has started falling and everyone is busy rushing about buying last minute gifts... Hope you all have a great Christmas!

Searching on the site has been fixed. I had forgotten to load some modules into the system consequently it failed when it couldn't find them.

On another note, it's getting cold here but Wintereenmas is yet to start.

So you may have noticed Firefox didn't like my site for the last few days.

A mate asked me for help setting up a website for them and I recommended a new CMS I was thinking of running, almost prophetically I pointed out at the time that I hadn’t updated the CMS software this site used as a backend for about 2 years and that it's only a matter of time until it got hacked, then two weeks later I saw a random bot had been inserting all manner to crap into the SQL database and taking control of the old legacy CSS/SSI pages I had from the previous non php website.

Still it did force me to upgrade and now we’re back online and in true great form after contacting Google they reran their risk assessments on the site and unclassified it as ‘malware distributing’ within 12 hours. Can’t ask for better service.

Italy pictures will be up soonish.

So it's been over a year since the last update, I know I'm just lazy when it comes to keeping my own site active.

Anyway what have I been up to? I guess the first thing that comes to mind is I've got a new job. I finally left the Co-op as my department was getting rid of all contractors. They offered us all permanent jobs within the team (on less money / possibility of 24 hour work / etc) however I felt it a good time to leave.

I admit with the credit crunch in full swing at that time I did feel slight intrepidation, however 3 days later I was offered an interview for a job just a few miles from my house and was employed again.
