Well, the forum is pretty much complete now. I have finished the major chunks of what I wanted to write. As I said before, this forum code is being written for a book, so I cannot put the code online at the moment. I may well be able to do this in the future but I...

I am just hacking this forum at the moment. Most of it is pretty much working – members, categories, forums, threads etc. I just need to finish up some things, make it look pretty with CSS and then tighten the code. I want to finish it today so I can start...

Well, I went, struck, I blocked, I kicked, I kata’d and I sparred. After two hours of training I left the dojo with an orange belt. I am, as you can imagine, well chuffed. After the grading I legged it back home (if you can call ‘legging it’...
