Not gone again surely?

Well nope... apologies for those who arrived to find the site dead as a dodo last night. All thanks *must* go to Phillipa who kindly let me know.

The problem turned out to have been a server error which deleted the entire database!! Because of Phillipa, I was able to get to the host and get the database rebuilt before anything was overwritten. :)

We are now up and running again... and just as offensive as ever we were :)

Hello again!

Long time no see! Where've I been? Well actually I've been updating another little site I run called Talk Tidy which is an odd little place... but I like it.

I've also been looking at ways to integrate the current installation of Glossword with Mambo... and guess what? Can't do it. It *is* possible to integrate the two (up to a point) but it appears it's only possible with new installations of both Mambo *and* Glossword. Now you might say... so? Well this is because you've not tried to manually enter the 4500+ words and definitions we have in here :)

So.. I'm still looking at installing the forums here instead of using the forum/blog site but I'm not sure yet how we can make the sites work together. For example, It would be relatively easy to link the CMS/Forum to the Dictionaries, but the problem comes when I try to link *back*.

To make the dictionary functional you need the linkage to take you to the words... but if I add a link *back*... where will it land? Well it'll land back in the CMS/Forum instead of the front page of the dictionary.

Anyway... I *am* going to work on it... but I think until I can get hold of Dmitry again and ask him to do the work for me (well it *is* his software I'm using ) integration will just have to be a bit of a dream :)

Ah well... enough of the rambling.... back to work. :D
