Blogger Comments: A very simple but elegant implementation of a comments attachment using PHP. I may wait for the Alpha of Blep but probably play about with this in the mean time, so watch out for a comments system to appear!

Devnut.com - Blep .. making blogger better, one step at a time.. Ryan is working on an XML implementation of a comments system for blogger which sounds very tasty! I think an alpha version should be out early october.
Thoughts about a possible Blogger Comments method. An open letter to Blogger from hit-or-miss.org about a possible way of adding a ‘static’ comments system into blogger. A good idea I guess but you might see an increase in ftp traffic. I’d rather use a non-blogger system.
My Atomz search is not working, I’ll figure it later, I’ve changed the header logo and made the background stripey! Might be some more site updates tommorow.
I really love the cute Linux mascot who goes by the name of Tux so XPenguins is something I will be running on my desktop, as soon as I have cleared my e-mail from my Windows setup and switched over.
The Magic Pages: Contains some valuable lessons in various magic techniques and also a Library section which has an indepth look at various books, giving you a good description of the contents.
If your in the market for a new set of cups for the Cups and Balls then check out the Selecting a set of Cups page from James Riser, who is a performer and a Machinist. He compares all the different cups on the market and gives you a frank review with some great photos. Personally I have never done the Cups and Balls, and the only way I think I would do it, to fit my character is to use Coffee Mugs or Polystyrene Cups and probably rolled up banknotes or paper. I just think those nice shiny cups and crochet balls scream PROP! I like to try and use everyday objects where at all possible. I read that Paul Gertner has a nice way of making a Chop Cup from a Coffee Mug in his recently re-printed book ‘Steel and Silver’. I think I might look at trying David Williamsons two cup routine with Coffee Mugs or Vending Machine Cups, or maybe even Bob Farmers Cyclops routine. The only drawback being that if using Mugs you need a routine where you don’t have to stack the cups!
Started to update the site by adding a Guestbook using an excellent cgi script called Megabook please sign it after your visit by clicking the link on the right of the screen. Next on the agenda is a search box, and a bit of a cosmetic update I think.

Roger Crosthwaite: Roger is a top UK card guy, and this website designed by Paul Gordon promises to give you good deals on his books, and two new videos. Keep your eyes peeled!
Secrets Revealed!!!: Whilst we are exposing things, check this site out, the Masked Magician Reveals… I think it needs to be read with tongue in cheek, in case you don’t realise
Patent for Copperfield/Gaughan Flying Illusion: I lost this link ages ago, its just been reposted on alt.magic… quite interesting to read how Copperfield achieves this illusion, and just goes to show that if you want to protect a magic illusion, you have to expose the secret so that anyone can read it!
Card Corner: An excellent Card Trick site, with effects by Aldo Colombini, Jay Sankey, Bob King and Tom Craven to name but a few. Most of the effects have been contributed by visitors or members of the Rochester Magic Clubs.
Sodaplay is a creative Java based ‘Executive Toy’ where you can make, build and play with things made out of masses, springs and muscles. Build little creatures, and robots. Very addictive!
The DLL Archive: Is Windows missing that all important DLL? Have a look for it here in the Archive.
Multimap.com Home Page: A really good UK mapping page, gives you accurate street maps, and travel directions. Good for people like me who have no sense of direction whatsoever and get lost going out of the end of the street!
