It's also still designed solely by me, without having to resort to drafting in external design consultants. Whilst it may not look astounding, there's still a sense of pride in being able to design something yourself. Smile

On saying that, I do admire the small amount of web design you've produced Nini. The excellent choice of contrasting black and white colours with that '500 - Internal Server Error' message' is a wonder to behold. I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.

What??

Silence your trap sir.

Just to mention, I *am* still updating the site now and again with new stuff, only I keep forgetting to update this thread. Revisions 11.1 and 11.2 both had some new adverts added, including a classic 'If you like a lot of chocolate...' Club advert from the eighties based around the classic Wizard of Oz.

Revision 11.3 has been much bigger though, mainly because it's been happening over the last few days, hence I've been able to put up 15 new files in total with material from the ITV1 refresh, and the ITV3 'launch'.

When are you doing the next update?[Or trying to do the next update]

I did intend to do an update over this weekend, mainly to grab the new North West Tonight titles through last week, as well as a few bits and bobs, but never got round to actually setting up all the equipment. If I can do so this weekend I will, though a lot of those irritating university deadlines are looming very soon. Crying or Very sad

(Though I have more immediate problems with getting on to the host to fix a database issue on the site, which is breaking just about everything at present)

Well I still haven't remembered to get NWT, but I have still done another update this weekend. Given the workload coming up now, this may be the last one until late December now.

Revision 11.4

5 new files. 4 featuring further coverage of the new ITV3, and one in the Wildlife section (how many of you forgot it was even there, eh?) with the 1994 titles to Anglia's Survival programme.

Hey

Just wondering, If there would be a update to the 'ITV Regions' section?

Well I managed to completely miss the 2003/2004 2nd set of ITV1 regional idents for Granada and Yorkshire on that page (though did get Tyne Tees). I'm going to try and grab the new 2004 ones though (given how bland they are I could technically make them myself by sticking some text over a national ident, but I'll resist the urge to do so Wink). I'm sure I heard someone say the 2.30pm regional slots begin again at the end of the month, so then will probably be the best time. Smile

I've got 1, possibly 2 of the Granada versions lurking around somewhere if you want them. Mind as with quite a few things I promise i usually forget. Somebody shoot me!

Hey, if you can remember that, I'd be really grateful... but then again I have a habit of forgetting to do things myself so I know what it's like. Razz The number of times I've decided a month starts around the 6th for the purposes of the Worst Ad Awards... Embarassed

Sorry for taking so long to reply to this Ashley, but it hasn't been a good week here. I'd be really grateful for that whole lot of stuff above. Indeed the only one out of that lot that I already have (in Widescreen) was the Hell's Kitchen short version. Are you using a new TV Card these days too as the quality of those pics looks fantastic. (I certainly could never get anything like that with any of the hauppauge ones I had, though the box I have now would do it... when it works Wink)
