Is that why when I try to open my old subnetting guide in the projects section it just takes me back to page 1 of the listings?

Yes, basically the pretty URL generator breaks when it encounters apostrophes, speech marks, possibly some other kinds of punctuation. To fix it I have to update the pretty URLs in the database. I've just fixed yours, but if you spot any more examples that need fixing let me know in the recent errors thread.

Hola guys

Another year passed by!

Took up a new hobby, possibly the nerdiest going - amateur radio (call sign MI0MCZ) and progressed a bit more towards early retirement.

Hope you're all doing well guys

After seeing a gang land murder last year I started to write a novel. LOL

Been writing novels for almost 25 years. One of my short stories was published last year in a local anthology, proceeds going to charity: link.

Still means that in theory I'm a published writer (again).

Latest is on it's 4th volume, although I had originally planned 3 with 2 potential prequels.

I have a few short stories too, shortest under 2 pages.

Hi everyone.

I feel old!


I think we all are.
I still feel we need to engage in some form of modern medium though. I still think Discord is probably a good option, migrate stuff from here to the forum side of it and we all get a bit more proactive chatting, apps sitting on phones etc allowing us to re-engage with each other. I am sure we would likely pick up playing games and so on a bit more that way as well.

It's very quiet and the forums have weird issues, one day I'll get around to updating it all properly!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone that checks in  :ptu:  :santa:

I don't think there's enough of us left to bother with discord, can pretty much grantee whenever someone goes on they'll be the only one on

I'm a member of a couple of writing groups on there and a Guild Wars 2 one, so I would be on anyway.

It is effectively a not very good forums coupled with a Teamspeak clone. The forum bit works but could be much better.
