Well, this website now looks less silly, bland, and maybe even half-way decent. All I've done is tweak the colours and change the background, but the effect is quite spectacular. I've been wanting to do this since the New Year, but see my last post for the reasons that didn't happen.
I am now intending to update with a greater frequency, not because I want to but because I have a backlog of stuff I want to put up here, and its not getting any shorter. Its mostly research stuff - code and papers.
And yes, in case anyone is wondering, the background is an upside down tree. Its a crop of a photo I took a few hundred meters from my parents house, just before Christmas when it had snowed heavily - went out and photographed all sorts of things. But a tree is kinda appropriate, given that this website is mostly research, most of which involves graphical models. Ok, a tree isn't a graph, and its a little too real to be considered a model, but it looks sweet, so I don't care:-P

My one (If I am being optimistic.) reader may have noticed I have been away. Though, in all probability this fictional being did not, given that I update this website so infrequently that no updates for two months is not just normal - it is to be expected. But the crux of it is that since just before Christmas my house in London lost internet, due to some cable being broken. Virgin media then lied to us, constantly for about two months, by which time we had given up and changed provider. I've detailed in the extended version of this story the scale of this screw up, but now I am back I will start updating my website again. At my usual ponderous pace:-)

I've moved my website - whilst the last host wasn't criminal, unlike the one before, they were a bit incompetent, and I wanted more control, as in a virtual machine. Its now running off of Amazons web services, which are extra sweet, if a touch pricey for a personal website. There is this free offer thing right now however, so my costs for the next year shall be minimal - after that I'll decide if the convenience and general awesomeness is worth the cash.
In the transfer I deleted some old files that really are not needed - there will be some broken links. I am also going to make this website look a little less ugly, and well, random, shortly. There will be some down time, especially as I'm currently running some hacked code to get this old version of Joomla to work on a modern version of php, and need to do some upgrading. |

Seems my webhost has 'blocked' .htaccess files, or at least screwed them up - found my website has been broken for some time, as my use of .htaccess files only matters when you browse off the main page. Regardless, I have switched off search engine friendly links so it now works again, though this is not ideal and certainly not permanent.
Update: Problem now solved. Though they broke it again a few days after I solved it so I had to re-solve it. They also lied about the cause of the problem. Accusing me of running Windows and having a virus that is adding .htaccess files when my problem is the deletion of .htaccess files (Followed by them disabling the ability to recreate them.), plus I'm running Linux anyway, makes there bullshit kinda obvious. |

It appears some 'group' by the name of 'dengesiz' hacked my website. I've spent a good while going over everything and it appears that they didn't touch the database and only edited one file - '/lanaguage/english.php.' |
