Nah, I wasn't the first, I think that was tvidents.co.uk if I recall. Besides which, my site seems down at the very moment. Damn stupid hosts moving it to a new server look to have messed something up along the way. Hopefully wont be for long.

I did think Lee had got there first, some good planning from himself there.... unlike you.

Well I was tempted to ring ITV's Duty Office and demand they hold off the whole relaunch as it clashed badly with my exam in Requirements Engineering and an unrequested server move from the host, but you know I'd misplaced their number down the back of the sofa again...

Edit (18/1/2005): Fixed the problem now. Smile

Yes, it has been 5 whole years since the first incarnation of the site was unleashed upon the net, and I just haven't gone away since I'm afraid. For a change, I thought I'd put a bit more effort into the celebrations this year, despite being totally bogged down with uni work. So today sees the kicking off of a week of updates with, rather appropriately, some belated ITV50 birthday material being added. For the next 5 days more will continue to be added to the site, with the 28th being the final surprise... if everything goes according to plan. A big thanks to everyone for all the support the site has had over the years, and with luck it'll continue to live for a long time to come.

Thanks. And yep, 5 years has flown by. It barely seems like yesterday when I was struggling to upload 12mb of 5 frames per second video onto Geocities via IC24's free few hours in the evening... *ahem* Moving swiftly onwards...

TV Whirl is 5 - Revision 12.5 (Day 2 of 7)

The second day of this birthday week sees 3 more files from the ITV50 celebrations. No dont worry, I do have more than just ITV50 stuff on the HD, as you'll find out tomorrow.

For some, for others it's been annoying and involving long ears and weight loss along the way for reasons that will not be divulged, he knows what it is.

Awww, that post's unusually sweet and free of bile for yourself, with not even a single insult directed at my easily-insultable web design. Could this be the start of a new softer, kinder Nini? I hope not, as who's going to rule the mocks forum with an iron fist then!?

Oh, anyone want to own up to sending me an IM then deleting it earlier too? <.<

TV Whirl is 5 - Revision 12.6 (Day 3 of 7)

Day 3 of the week (wow, I've managed to keep this updating going for 3 days without fail now - this must be a record for me Razz) sees a switch away from ITV50 finally to cover the launch of More4, with 3 new files added from that day back in October.

Shut your maw lapine, I am the maven of the mocks forum and am not stepping down so my iron fist of unreqlishable fury will continue to rain down heavy on those who disobey basic design rules and yadda yadda, your mocks just don't work.

Yes, early morning update as I have to be out soon to go to a city which is apparently a capital of culture. o.O But anyways, 3 more new files from the More4 Launch today on Day 4 of this birthday week.
