A very unreasonable reason for me not switching to Safari is because the bookmarks dropdowns (when activating the bookmark bar) have two very annoying features. Firstly they only open when clicked, so if you click one and move your mouse to

The site is hosted in Fastmail - I think they must have enabled https or perhaps I missed that it was active when I put the site in there.

I’ll add it to the to do list. The current hosting won’t be around after next year so it’s getting moved in about 6 months to where I have some more control and I can probably implement changes needed.

I didn’t know about neverssl.com. I think I would have still made captiveportal.co.uk even if I did because it was fun :-)

I managed under 1.5KB for a page that has an actual function, not just a test: http://www.captiveportal.co.uk And yes, that’s supposed to be a non-https link. I think the entire site, including favicon, might be under 5KB. You c

That's going to be a condensation fest in there. Pretty sure The Outdoor Gear Review did a real world test of something very similar. They 'work' in that they do heat up, but they're a lot of work and get extremely sweat

This fundamentally misunderstands why finance is there in the first place. It's not just about access to the euro zone, it's about hiding all that juicy money from [insert national/international authority]. The City is a weir

You might want to check the IBIS specs for the G9 and GH5. No need to go up to the S1 line.

And a curious coincidence he made such a modification when he returned from Durham. Almost as if he knew he'd have to start creating justification for the trip. A coincidence indeed!

It's not so much the travel to Durham, it's the travel to Barnard Castle ( a 60 mile round trip) to 'test' his eys, including a nice little walk along the river bank - on a day that just so happened to be his wife's
