It's that time of year again! Exactly this time last year I wrote about how annoying Christmas decorations shouldn't go up in October, and low and behold I right about it again this year.
My plan for the next month and a half is to walk round town with my head down and my minidisc player on, ignoring all Christmas type activities. Hopefully this way some of the joy of Christmas won't be destroyed by rampant marauding capitalism.
New phone soon! Hooray!

I just looked at the site for your new phone and I noticed that they sell cigarette lighter adapters!! (for phones presumerably) Like OMG! It's truely terrible.
Another thing worth mentioning, guess who I saw last night?? -- Anouska from BB (not the blonde one), she's studing at UEA. She was soooo drunk and within about 2 inches of me. Why that's something to brag about, I don't know.
Caff dearest, they don't light cigarettes... you plug the thing into your car cigarette lighter and use it to charge your battery.
if i ever see a BB contestant (with the exception of Tim or Jon) mass slaughter will ensue
Bad news man. You need to reprogram your site so it cache server checks for updates more often. Web Cache is destroying you site's theme's
Web authors should (some say must) include hints in their pages as to how web caches should treat them. If your pages are static, and rarely subject to change, then you need take no action: the caches will cache your page and end-users will see correct results. If your pages are dynamic (created on the fly) or subject to frequent updates, then you must include a hint to web caches that they should check back for updates, otherwise they will cache your page and serve stale copies to clients. The mechanism for doing the hinting is the cache-control line in the HTTP headers, fully described in RFC 2616.

Can i have my blog back please?! I want to tell every1 how your liver is evil - it must be punished.
The problem with meta tags and caching is that it overides people's browsers and forces them to accept the behaviour you want, which is just rude.
However, I can see the sense in it, so I think I'll go with you on this one and put the tags in.
Plus Bob you can have your blog back.. in a bit. Mwahahahaha.
In fact, those authors are wrong. Web caches take no account of meta HTML headers; they respond only to HTTP headers. The meta tag above would work only if the hosting web server is of the type that promotes meta http-equiv HTML tags to true HTTP headers on the fly as the page is served out.

It's either that or .htaccess files, and as my server hasn't enabled the cache part of the header in the .conf, and as I can't manually edit the .conf, I'm going to go with meta tags. Now if it doesn't update regularly well then I'm just going to blame my hosting provider for it all.
Anyhos, I think apache by default (and this is just me thinking) outputs headers that say when it was last updated. So it's either my hosts fault for not letting me change the settings or the browsers faults of over-riding those settings.
Either way I can do nothing but sit here and look knowledgable.
It says there it takes no account of Meta Headers. Jeez you wont even listen to the head of camrbidge
He says it takes no account if it's not on your server. As I have no other option I'm going to go with it and hope it's enabled on my server
