Dave has created a new website - DM on beer. The site has a simple mission...

Trying to show that beer is as simple or complex as you want it to be...

No more excuses for ending up in a bad pub or drinking bad beer anymore!

Today we went to Gran's for dinner as it was Easter Sunday. After my nap in the afternoon we did egg decorating, and we made a rabbit egg, a chicken, a mouse, and even an Upsy-Daisy egg!

Nikki's mum and dad were clearing out some old stuff and found an old flat panel monitor that I gave them AGES ago. I decided to try plugging it to our "spare" PC as whoever was working on that finds they really miss having a wide screen!

It works great - for me doing my Drupal stuff it's maybe even better than the wide panel as the combined width is even more than the widescreen, so I can have Eclipse open on one screen, and run IE/Firefox/Safari on the other for testing, or for looking up help.

I'm probably way behind here, but I just discovered Firebug for Firefox! REALLY useful for debugging the HTML / CSS etc associated with the website, and at last I've got rid of the annoying empty line at the top of the page! I always wondered why it was there, and it was an "empty" block.

The flash banner below is a BannerZest banner, inserted in an iframe. The banner animation is from the Aquafadas website to show that it can be done.

To insert the content on the page you need to upload the banner directory and all its files to somewhere on your webspace. Next create a node, set the input format to full HTML input, and then put something like <iframe name="bzAnimation" src="http://www.yourwesbite.com/files/banner/bzAnimation.html" width="600" height="250" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>.

View the full node to see the banner in action.
