So it's a week off for me. And Catherine's off too. And we haven't exactly done much, bar eating out at lunch a few times, and me going to the gym a lot.

So the new web forms survived their first email injection attack. Should really get the new script rolled out on the rest of the site now I suppose.
Late Night Drinking

So there I was, sat in a pub having a few pints. We left about 12:30, despite the pub opening for another 30 minutes and with me having drunk a whopping pint more than I normally would. And we managed to get home without causing one fight, and without throwing up on any pavement. Or anywhere for that matter.

It feels like just as I'm winding down slightly at work in preperation for having next week off (hurray!), the launches and the changes have been ramping up!

In August 2005 myself and Catherine went on holiday to Iceland. However there's one thing that makes any travelling vegetarian nervous, it's the issue of food. In a special guest post (cos she doesn't have her own blog), I've allowed Catherine to fill up the server with a post about it.

I love a good piece of unbiased, non-partisan, well researched reporting from my news sources. Which is why I tend to avoid This Is Local London.

Published on 19 November 2005 in Travel and Holidays, holidays, Iceland, Iceland 2005
On 19 August 2005 Catherine and myself flew out to Iceland for a ten night touring holiday round Iceland. We drove round the country and saw many an exciting and interesting thing. This is one of many blog posts about that holiday - it’s our final day, we're in Reykjavik and by the end of the day, will be back in London.
New Email Form
Published on 19 November 2005 in Planet Bods, Web Development, PHP, Planet Bods, web development
It's with a sense of trepidation that I today reactivated the first of my PHP built webforms since the email injection attack on my site nearly three weeks ago.

None successful of course, but it's meant that I've been a little cautious about unleashing my new script on the world.
