Evolution  New Log Entry
Updated by IceCold on Thursday 10th April 2008 at 05:27 PM

This page gives a short history of IceColdinAlex.co.uk. I only add to the log when I really feel the need, e.g. following three nights of selecting, cropping, resizing and adding captions to holiday photos! For an accurate picture of all recent changes, check the What's New? page.

IceColdinAlex v2 Banner Photos   
Posted by IceCold on Friday 8th December 2006 at 12:00 AM

As part of the IceColdinAlex.co.uk v3 redesign, we waved goodbye to the banner photos that used to appear randomly at the top of the menu pages. Gone but not forgotten ... Click here to view this Page



We're Going on a Beer Hunt ...   
Posted by IceCold on Wednesday 18th June 2008 at 01:31 AM

Early in 2002, I ran a competition... Using my impressive Photoshop skills(!) I hid a number of ice-cold beers in photos dotted around the website. Most were quite subtle; one was a bit obvious. The first person to find all eleven would win ... well, nothing. Maybe that's why nobody entered? Click here to view this Page

#29: Calamity ... New Log Entry  
Posted by IceCold on Monday 14th June 2010 at 05:06 PM

... it's been six months since my last updates! Another 121 photos for you to enjoy including Mark's perfomance in Calamity Jane.

#28: The Fast and the not-at-all-Furious   
Posted by IceCold on Monday 11th January 2010 at 12:32 AM

Very satisfied with my latest update to the site ... something that should have been done ages ago, I've sped up the display of photos. Pages with lots of photos should now display in a 10th of the time! :-)



#27: 300!   
Posted by IceCold on Sunday 13th December 2009 at 09:02 PM

No, not Spartans - I've been a bit slack with updates to the website this year. In fact, the prospect of clearing a six month backlog has stopped me taking photos for the last two months. But, at last, back up to date, with over 300 new photos: Laura and Debbie in Venice, Richard and Mark in the Peak District, Trevor and Fang's wedding, the family holiday in France and many, many more. Enjoy!



#26: Let it snow   
Posted by IceCold on Saturday 28th February 2009 at 11:34 PM

Snow home and abroad in the latest updates. Also, Mark's big-stage debut in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

#25: Italian Job   
Posted by IceCold on Saturday 11th October 2008 at 02:06 AM

Another mammoth update completed - we took over 600 photos between us on our trip to Umbria in Italy. Fortunately I didn't have to find captions for them all!



#24: Search me!   
Posted by IceCold on Sunday 29th June 2008 at 01:05 AM

Check out our new Search functionality.



#23: Who says size isn't important?   
Posted by IceCold on Tuesday 17th June 2008 at 02:10 AM

It's almost 2:15am and I've just spent the best part of three days resizing every photo put on the website prior to September 2005 - that's over 900 photos! Please tell me it was worth it. :-(



#22: Putting IceColdinAlex on the Map   
Posted by IceCold on Monday 12th May 2008 at 12:49 AM

... or more precicely, putting the map on IceColdinAlex. This has been a real labour of love - i.e. incredible frustration and general moodiness ... all taken out on the kids. Sorry!

So, now, all 'geographic' pages have a link to our On the Map page which uses Google Maps to show the places we've visited . Not only has this challenged my creaking programming skills, but I've had to find the latitude and longitude for over 160 locations!

#21: Lost and Found   
Posted by IceCold on Sunday 6th April 2008 at 09:11 PM

As well as adding in photos from our latest globe-trotting trip to see Liz in Israel, I've included a new page to help people navigate the site.

You can now use previous and next buttons to flip from page to page, and I've also added a little widget to let you know that photos are being downloaded - it doesn't make it any quicker, but at least you now have something vaguely hypnotic to look at. :-)



#20: Distant Memories   
Posted by IceCold on Tuesday 13th November 2007 at 11:12 AM

As usual summer is a distant memory by the time I get round to updating the website with photos of our holidays - I hope it was worth the wait! Latest updates include our Center Parcs holiday in the Netherlands and our half-term trip to see Laura's parents in France.



#19: Rome, sweet Rome   
Posted by IceCold on Thursday 26th July 2007 at 01:59 AM

Latest updates include a reinstated What's New? page, the usual birthdays, another new kitten and an adults-only trip to Rome!



#18: At long last ... IceColdinAlex.co.uk v3   
Posted by IceCold on Friday 8th December 2006 at 11:32 PM

Well, it's certainly taken some time to get the new version out here. I just hope you like it - 'cos there ain't no going back! ;-)

#17: Time for a Change   
Posted by IceCold on Tuesday 13th September 2005 at 12:00 AM

It's been four years since the site went through its last radical rewrite, so time for a change! We're up to date for the moment - summer holidays, etc. all accounted for - but I have a feeling there may be a bit of a wait for the next updates. Sorry!



#16: Summer Holidays in November   
Posted by IceCold on Wednesday 17th November 2004 at 12:00 AM

Another lazy spell - no changes for 4 months! Back up to date now, with our summer trips to Snowdonia and France.



#15: Adam and Mark on the World Wide Web   
Posted by IceCold on Sunday 4th April 2004 at 12:00 AM

Two more new websites - and these really do have nothing to do with me! - check out Adam's Home Page and Mark's Home Page at your own risk!



#14: Farewell to the Wanderers   
Posted by IceCold on Thursday 29th January 2004 at 12:00 AM

The Knaphill Wanderers Football Club pages have now moved to a new website, kwfc.org.uk ... that bears more than a passing resemblance to IceColdinAlex.co.uk!

#13: Backlog Blitz   
Posted by IceCold on Friday 28th November 2003 at 12:00 AM

I've been a bit lazy over the last few months, but now I've blitzed the backlog and the site is once more up to date - right up to our trip to Barcelona to celebrate Laura's somethingth Birthday.



#12: A Labour of Love ...   
Posted by IceCold on Sunday 9th February 2003 at 12:00 AM

Eighteen months in the making, and at last the Knaphill Wanderers FC pages have been completely rewritten. Player profiles, team details, fixtures, results, goal scorers and match reports, are now all entered into a database, with the screens generated dynamically. Now that should make it easier to keep the results up to date.



#11: What's New?   
Posted by IceCold on Monday 22nd July 2002 at 12:00 AM

Quite a bit of tinkering but not a lot to show for it, except for the What's New? page.



#10: Long Awaited Relaunch!   
Posted by IceCold on Monday 1st October 2001 at 12:00 AM

Welcome to the 'all new' IceColdinAlex.co.uk! OK, so it may not look radically different - the IKEA effect making way for something slightly more frosty - but under the surface, well ... do you really care?

#9: Nothing to Report   
Posted by IceCold on Thursday 7th June 2001 at 12:00 AM

Five months since the previous entry, but not much has changed. I am working on a new PHP / MySQL version of the site, but don't hold your breath!



#8: Happy New Year and Happy Birthday   
Posted by IceCold on Wednesday 3rd January 2001 at 12:00 AM

As the new year is ushered in, IceColdinAlex.co.uk celebrates its first birthday - still self-indulgent; still lacking news, facts, entertainment and informed opinion; and still waiting for Laura's contributions ... but now with a Guestbook!



#7: Get Your Kit On   
Posted by IceCold on Friday 10th November 2000 at 12:00 AM

Knaphill Knights secure lucrative sponsorship deal with TG Engineering.

#6: Storm Damage   
Posted by IceCold on Thursday 5th October 2000 at 12:00 AM

Remember kids, don't leave your modem plugged in during a thunderstorm. So much for the up to date results service!

#5: First Knight   
Posted by IceCold on Friday 15th September 2000 at 12:00 AM

Last season may have finished before the Knaphill Knights' pages were ready, but this season we've hit the ground running with the first match report hot off the press. I hope that keeping these results up to date doesn't become too much of a bind ...



#4: I can see clearly now the frames have gone ...   
Posted by IceCold on Sunday 2nd July 2000 at 12:00 AM

The frames make way for a nifty JavaScript menu - well frames are so yesterday!

#3: You've Been Framed!   
Posted by IceCold on Monday 1st May 2000 at 12:00 AM

Precious little new content, but look at those frames!



#2: Up and Running   
Posted by IceCold on Friday 31st March 2000 at 12:00 AM

Months in the planning, and the site finally has some content. Some survives to this day, but unfortunately the original logo is lost in a freak formatting accident.

#1: A Site is Born   
Posted by IceCold on Monday 3rd January 2000 at 12:00 AM

IceColdinAlex.co.uk is registered - the domain we had planned to use had been pinched four days earlier and all the good ones had gone! Our first home page is launched a few days later; unfortunately there is no record of this early masterpiece!
