Bloody Lucky Ities

What can be said about this game (see title), they were very very lucky with a considerable advantage, I just came back from the pub about 25 minutes ago (sorry for the delay I had to make a bacon sandwich) and thought I had better post about this considering that my last post was calling for the USA to beat the Italians, anyway this group's last games will be a bit of a cliff hanger because anyone could go through (meaning Ghana & USA could still do it).

Role on next thursday (Judgment Day)!

Another World Cup Shocker!!!

Who would have dreamt up this scoreline, Czech Republic 0 - Ghana 2? This has now sent the group into uncertainty.

can Italy Beat the Yanks, well I would like the USA to win to male the last group games exciting.

ASP display year

Ok, how many of websites you visit and you see something like this at the bottom of the page where the copyright link is:-

© company name 1996 - 2003

Well they are 3 years out of date and there's no excuse whether the site is in HTML, ASP, PHP etc. There are ways to make it dynamic in all of these languages, so I'm going to show you how to do it in ASP right now…

© company name <%=year(now)%>

or if you want to do it the long winded way by the book:-

© company name <%response.write(year(now))%>

Notice in the first example = works the same as writing response.write

There it is making your copyright statements dynamic in ASP.

What I do for a living

If you have read my "About" section then you will know that I work for the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, my role within the authority is as Web Manager where I over see and contribute to all internal and external web applications.

We have recently launched 2 sites, the first being the Authority's corporate site which is a multilingual Content Management System CMS ASP based application (www.pcnpa.org.uk) and the second being our annually updated tourism website (www.visitpembrokeshirecoast.com) which also is driven with an ASP based CMS with an MS SQL database back-end.

So that's what I do @ work…

Tutorials are on the way!!!

In the next few weeks I will be developing some tutorials for the blog, there are a few avenue's to choose from:-

• ASP
• CSS
• XHTML
• MS ACCESS
• JavaScript
• SQL Syntax

So if you have any preferences or requests (within my capabilities) thn comment on this post and wait for them to role in…

Crouch the break dancer / disco dancer

Is it just me or does this picture look likeCrouch's about to spin on his back break dance style? He also has a bit of a Trovolta style hand up in the air (Staying Alive style).

What the hell is going on with the footballing folk these days? I wonder if ITV will sign him up to do one of these daft dancing contests like my little pony on ice (David Seaman)?

Wrong Prediction

Well, what can I say ….. I was wrong, though 2-0 will do. We were very lucy in the 2nd half not to go 1-0 down if it wasn't for the very impressive kick out by John Terry. I have just come back from the pub from watching tonight's games so i'm gonna have to sign out and say 3-1 to England against Sweden on Tusday…

Coments are welcome?????

World Cup Fever

Well,I am looking forward to tomorrows game, I can see it now England 4 Trinidad & Tobago 1 (1 Goal for Owen, 1 for Crouch and 2 for Rooney in the 2nd half)?

Well you got to hope, I can't see T&T posing too much threat for the lads in white.

Wouldn't it be nice if Poland stuffs Germany tonight!!! Because if they beat the Germans tonight and Ecuador beat Costa Rica tomorrow there's a possibility that Germany won't get through to the next round, depending on the third round of course (*Counts figures and toes).

Last nights game featuring Brazil & Croatia was a bit of a let down, I thought that Brazil were quite lucky in respect, but they did have a donkey on they're side (Ronaldo).

Anyway that's enough for now.

I’m Cream Crackered

Well this is what happens when you burn the candle at both ends, I was up till 12 O'Clock last night creating layouts in Adobe Fireworks for a client.

Mind you they're looking good, well I think so anyway…..

Busy Times

OK, so her I am just come back from a weeks holiday in Bulgaria to find that I have to create a dynamic application for a touchscreen to be launched at our new information centre in Tenby (South West Wales) in 2 weeks time, it wouldn't be so bad if I had the bloody touchscreen and the PC that is supposed to run the ASP application on to do testing on!!!

To say i'm well pissed off is an understatement…..
