What's New 12 October The site has moved again. Sorry to put you good readers through all of this, but I was given a very generous offer from Luke at Red Chip Technologies. This is a very professional server which doesn't put an advertising banner on my pages. I've got nothing against banners, but it screwed up some of the examples on the site. The new URL is http://codepunk.hardwar.org.uk/. Make sure to update your bookmarks.
