Only just noticed (on a random trawl of the web) that the Guardian did an article about Sky box upgrading and mentioned my website.

Yes, mine. Not anybody else’s. Mine.

Makes ya proud, it does.

Although I would like to point out that the “huge” 250 GB hard drive upgrade that they mention is, well, nothing. With Copy+ you can put a 1 TB drive in. Oh yes.

Sometime ago I added a modification to the Copy+ forums that would notify the administrator when a new post was added (allowing him to quickly remove any spam, as well as respond quickly to genuine questions).

However, after some security upgrades by the site host, all emails seemed to stop working. This was because it wouldn’t allow mails to come from email addresses that didn’t belong to the domain – as this domain didn’t come with any email capability, this was therefore a bit of an issue. The solution was to use SMTP instead.

In time, though, we realised that the new post mod didn’t use SMTP. So, the other day, I found another mod which works in a similiar way, but uses SMTP. This has fixed the problem nicely.

Oh, and I took the opportunity to add PHP Speedy to the Copy+ site (though, not to the forums).

I’ve finally decided that I’m winding up Artiss Web Design. I’ve not had the chance to do it properly, so will be converting all links to point to this site.

Additionally, I’m transferring all the back-end databases to here as well (which has a quicker server). Copy+ has already been converted in this way. However, if you come across any problems with any of these sites (or bmtg.org.uk) then please let me know.

Maybe one day I’ll even get the chance to finish pulpsf.com. But, then again…
