Oh DM, you and your neologisms! Inspitation (noun): The feeling you get when you do something inspite of ones better judgement ;-p

Well the network rail site seems pretty convinced of the possibility.

Yeah I wish it all the best if just because it means I don't _have_ to go to the Market Porter for a decent pint of ale now. I guess these things take time and after a big inital outlay further improvements like a better sound system will come in fits and starts. It is missing a little something at the moment, but some sound groundwork and I hope it begins to find itself and some more customers. I'll certainly pop in from time to time.

only managed to salvage a couple of snaps from last night. but if you're interested here you go...

* oh dear god yes *

If a house price crashes in a forest of unseemly estate agents, but it's bank holiday and everyone is in brighton, does it really matter?

Polly Diddy. I don't think this is it, but it's quite surreal http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=163910786

Ben, you go right ahead, that's what it's there for. And nice choice :) Polly D, yo I'm on it and fingers crossed.....

I guess I veer towards Victorian splendour as I grew up in a New Town (though Letchworth at a century is the oldest new town, it doesn't do much other than first roundabouts and edwardian modest niceness) with neither. Minimalist modernism is fine as it goes, but doesn't really fizz my bunghole so to speak. Every time I walk past the eclair california beach house I can never decide whether it's cool or pretentious. Ultimately I've plumped for both :)

It's friday after lunch, I'm tired, I've just had a greasy spoon (veggie breakfast with bacon) and can't keep my eyes open. In a desperate bid to keep from falling asleep at my desk I've had a listen to this surreal slice of america. If you're struggling too have a listen Yo La Tengo - Today is the day One of my all time favourite songs introduced by John McEnroe?!?!?

Nice one keef, a couple more and we'd have challenged the "doctors and no medics" for the title I reckon. I've not been to the Mag quiz, but it's not CPT hard, and as they're not really used to pub quizzes yet, they were heavy on the hints and so forth. Definitely worth another crack though.

Steal his marmalade sandwiches?

LOL, you have my sympathy cap'n !!

Well I'm quite enjoying it as it goes so far (about half way through). Quite an easy read, good sense of humour and things are clearly going to get pretty dark pretty soon. It's reminding me a little bit of the film Very Bad Things which was hilarious in a feeling guilty about laughing sort of way.

I know what you mean nutty, i feel like i've sullied it somehow ;)

In which case make it takeDataoutDatabaseCommand = "SELECT this, that FROM shopping_list WHERE userName = %s" % username

Mark's given you some real code, mine was more generic, but hope we've somehow helped *edited due to mark writing much more useful answer* Well no real simple answer. Basically you need a web server to run some sort of scripting language. PHP seems to be the most common on t'internet. Then you need a grasp of this language in order to take the info posted by the web user and put it in a database. The connection isn't physical (well it is, but I'm not helping) it's done using software concepts. So she'll need to do something like connectionString = "stuff thatdescribes databse type and place" putDataInDatabaseCommand = "INSERT INTO userDetails VALUES (%s, %s)" % username, userpassword conn = DBConnection(connectionString, username, password) cmd = DBCommand (putDataInDatabaseCommand) conn.execute (DBCommand) and this will be executed by the web server. Does any of this make any sense?

Lol!! I'm guessing there's some self-referential telephone-hold-muzak music selector's humour going on there!!

I wouldn't recommend access frankly, it's not very good on multi-user if anything more than 50 want to use the site at once. Is she hosting it herself? If not then very few ISPs (internet service providers) will support it either as it doesn't sit very well on IIS (microsoft's web server) and most tend to go unix/apache anyway. MySQL is usually the way for internet sites and is completely free too. Any idea what she used to create the site? PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, ruby on rails etc? Let me know if too much techy speak.

Hang on, isn't the book* you leant me something of an updated greek tragedy. tsk *Donna Tartt's The Secret History
