Various pictures from 2007. All in very shrunken low resolution flash format. Apologies for the music generally - move the slider forward to skip over boring bits. click the heading or 'read more' at the bottom to actually see them. (The bottom two videos might be off the bottom of your screen. There is a login=cuthbert, password=cuthbert if you feel compelled to leave a constructive comment (don't bother mentioning health and safety issues in regard to children and precipices))

Welcome to eldwick.org.uk set up using the drupal Content Management System (CMS)

Based in Bingley, Yorkshire. IT consultants for website design using low cost script and database facilities such as php and MySQL. Also software using a wide range of systems and langauges.

The site shows just how quick and easy it can be to build content from scratch, adding modules such as blog, calendar, book collaboration etc.

Get yourself registered and you will be able to try adding your own content, and make comments on other people!

By the way, this picture is generated by the "slugtrail.php" routine (see elsewhere on this site.)

How is the internet changing?

The overall trend is of reducing cost. The key areas are the widespread availability of cheap broadband access and the proliferation of Service Providers offering low cost hosting for websites which use scripting and databases. At the same time there has been an exponential growth of high quality open source software with active communities of developers and self-help user groups

here's a link to a page where you can very quickly learn flags, morse and the phonetic alphabet at the same time. You can use "0" and "." on the numeric keypad for "dash" and "dot"

I have decided to pass this information on to you in narrative form rather than invest more telephone time recounting a growing saga to yet another series of call centres.

The story is 100% factual and, despite being written in a light hearted way, is serious. I am sure that you have ISO9000 and, without being too presumptuous, would suggest that you pass the information on to the relevant quality improvement team:

I am a computer programmer. This is something I have become by a gradual evolution; I started off as an engineer, slowly changed into a manager with interest in systems, ran my own textile business for a while then “retired” to work from home part time while the children were still at school. The area of programming I get most involved with is on-line database systems. And the point of telling you this is a) internet access is fundamentally important to my business b) I am quite familiar with the technicalities of broadband and solving problems to get kit working. I charge my time out at a paltry £30 per hour.

There are various problems and alternative solutions to getting a dynamic site running from CD (or hard disk) This is just one..

this is a little program to draw patterns

put the instructions into the box below:

i.e. try cutting and pasting in one of the following lines:

(dcnnnnnn(S20 L60 S20 R120)6p30LnnnuS2n)5
x0y0l90(cnnnnnns200r90snr90s10q1s190l90snl90)35
x0y0(l90(cnnnnnns200r90snr90s10q1s190l90snl90)25)2x80y120((cnnnnnns20l60s20r120)6l1s1)6
The next stage is to allow users to save subroutines in a little file.

A good example of an open source ERP is webERP which I have set up here. Feel free to poke around to see what it does. It's very quick to install and can be used in many instances with virtually no modification.

Putting up a web store is also easy now with good software like oscommerce available open source. Have a look at the store set up on this site. (you can play around but could end up actually buying some software!)

Summary

There are many reasons why you may want to put information on CD: to reduce environmental damage, to save costs, to offer large volumes of data or to use the speed and power of electronic searches.

These same benefits also apply to putting your catalogue on the internet, and many of the points made in this paper apply equally well to that alternative. However there are many instances where the large data capacity and portability of a CD or DVD make it the logical choice.
