Ah, Mr. La Varenne,

Well, if there is sufficient interest, I suppose I could write up the next installment in the near future.

Just because you asked so nicely. :D

Yes please Dave.

I haven't seen you post for so long. I thought you were dead :shock: , or had maybe found other things to do.

Oops, and Steven J of course.

PS: (Phew, the site's mostly up again. That was close!!) Jeff and I have the same problem. We don't know how to write Java, build a site and modify its architecture as required.
