miskatonic.co.uk – support for mobile devices

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

motorola v3iOnce again a wordpress upgrade was available and after putting it off, as I always tend to do,  I upgraded the site to Wordpress 2.9.2 – I also took the opportunity to install the  Wordpress mobile pack, so if you are browsing the site from your mobile device you should now be presented with a mobile friendly theme and content.

We don’t appear to have done any damage, the little cultists seem to have not misplaced any content.   If you do however notice any problems please drop me a line and I’ll have someone punished.

Cheers,

Derek.

New website

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Yesterday saw the launch of a new website at miskatonic – “Technophile”.

This is a deviation from roleplay and other games into my other passion – Technology. I have worked in IT now for over twenty years and its not just a career its also a hobby, I’m passionate about technology and “gadgets” so this new site is just my way of sharing that passion with the world at large!

Whilst all blogs start out with good intentions it is my hope that I will be able to share technology news, view, reviews and opinions through this site, focussing very much on the everyday technology that helps me get through the day.

Take a look; www.technophile.miskatonic.co.uk

Ia! F’tagn!

Go on treat yourself…

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Over the years I have amassed what can only be described as a staggering number of Mythos related books and magazines, but there are always more out there! So I’m going to treat myself at Amazon, below are a few that I would recommend, so why not make me feel better about spending my pocket money and treat yourself. If you fancy submitting a review of something that you buy we would love to publish it here at miskatonic.co.uk, just send your review to derek at miskatonic.co.uk

No longer a part of Webring – who cares?

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

Today I received an email “The ring manager of “Cthulhu WebRing (Fans Of H.P. Lovecraft)” has suspended your site”.  By all accounts not having the stupid ring code on EVERY page seems to be against the rules and the fact that it was the ONLY thing on my front page didn’t seem to be enough.

Its not the only time the site has been suspended, and this time I just can’t be bothered – nobody struggles to find miskatonic.co.uk, we get a ton of traffic and not much of it through Webring.  So frankly I don’t feel that there is any great loss – I might even put something a bit more exciting on my splashscreen other than an advert for Webring!

Anyhow, if you find yourself saddened or disappointed that miskatonic.co.uk isn’t part of the fellowship of the Webring anymore I’m sorry, but I just can’t be arsed…

Derek.
