| Web Stuff: Planning Applications for Parish Councils |
|
 I have been on the Planning Review Committee of Baildon Parish Council since it's inception 2 years ago and for more than 12 months now we have been taking part in a 3 month trial (???) of the electronic notification of planning applications.
The electronic notification is no problem - the difficulty is preparing for meetings using the Public Access site provided by Bradford.
As a result I have created planningapps.co.uk that allows parish councils to maintain a list of applications and also facilitates the downloading and indexing of all the files.
The planningapps.co.uk website is currently being used by Haxby Town Council and you can see a list of the planning applications here.
planningapps.co.uk is also being used by Heworth to list their planning applications and you can see theirs here.
Hopefully other parish councils will start using it.

 For almost a year now I have bee a Baildon Parish Councillor. I am the vice-chair of the council and chair of the planning review committee. After attending one of the Parish Council Liaison meetings I created a forum for Parish Councils to discuss items of interest to them. The forum can be found here. The main reason for adding the link here is to get Google to find the forum. Without link on any pages currently visited by Google it will never be indexed. I also maintain the Baildon Village website that can be found here and the website for the Baildon Parish Council that can be found here.

 nospringchicken writes "Hi everyone! I have found reading the postings on this site informative,encouraging and scary over the last few weeks so decided it was about time I joined!
I ruptured my AT 6 weeks ago while I was playing tennis. I was operated on the next day -though I'm not really sure what that accomplished because during the operation they discovered it had gone on the muscle tendon junction.
I know 2 other people locally who have sustained the injury in the same place and were treated at the same hospital as me and they were told that it is not possible to operate on the muscle tendon junction. I asked the consultant what had been done during the op and was told they had pulled the 2 ends together and a couple of sutures were put in. He explained that these would not be strong enough to hold under any pressure but would help the tendon to align itself.
Does anyone else have any info. about what they actually do to repair the AT during an op? Is my experience common?
I understood that if I had an op there was slightly less chance of it going again but if the op didn't make it any stronger this seems unlikely!
I was also told prior to choosing surgery that recovery would be 10 weeks in plaster/brace following an op but 12 weeks without it but when I came round - still woozy- I remember the registrar saying it would be 12 weeks. Do you think thats because they couldn't fix it properly in the end?"

 I have just made the Feedback option on the site available to Registered Users only. I have been getting several emails per day where some automated sytem is using the feedback option to generate a long list of links to drug or porn related sites. They have just become too frequent. I am investigating the possibility of using the secure number generator so that the user has to enter a number when they are submitting the form.
My main worry was that the system sent a confirmation email to the email address that the user entered in the form - fortunately this is not the case, otherwise it could be used to get my system to send SPAM to other people.
Well. It dindn't take long. I have now added the security function to the Feedback module. This means that a user has to enter a code that they read from the screen. A bot will not be able to read the code, therefore only people will be able to submit feedback.

It might be old hat to some of you but I have recently had a fright with Windows XP. I have an OEM version of it which means it can only be activated once.
I have recently had to replace the graphica card in my PC. The fan on it had packed up and the only coolers I could get were great big things that would not fit because it fouled the capacitors. At the same time I decided to start using the on-board network port instead of the network card.
Today I installed some software that pretends to be disk drives. It appears that Windows then decided I had changed too much and wanted to be activated again. Because I have an OEM version the activation failed and told me to get another license key - which would cost money.
After a bit of digging around on the internet I found out that XP collects information about your PC - CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Disks, Network card and will ask to be re-activated if too many things change.
Anyway, to cut the story short, I put the network card back in and it allowed me to activate it again with the old license key.

| Hosting moved to my reseller account |
|
Several months ago I took out a reseller hosting account with UH-Hosting. This allowed my to create and host the Baildon Village website the Baildon Wiki the MatrixOne UK User Group website and The Whole Chicken. I also host a few sites for friends and family.
Each site is young but hopefully will grow as time goes by.
My hosting contract and domain registration for this site came up for renewal at the end of August 2006 so I took the opportunity to move the domain registration to 1 and 1 and the hosting to my own reseller account.
Follow the links from the graphics below. 1 and 1 for domain registration or UH Hosting for Unix Web Hosting - Shared and Reseller. With UH Hosting you can get one domain registered free, depending on the account requested.

Baildon Village now has its own web site. As a result of the Urban Village Initiative and the work of the Baildon Futures Partnership www.baildon.org.uk has come in to existence. I am both the Web Master and Host for the site.
The site has much of the information that I had tried to collect for the Baildon section of my own site but it has several volunteers who are prepared to put some work in. The biggest difference is that the Baildon Community Council are behind it and are prepared to publicise its existence. With the Community Council owning the site it gives it an air of "respectability".

I have created a Baildon related Google Map section. Categories include Baildon Pubs, Baildon restaurants, Baildon takeaways, Baildon places of historical interest, Baildon Schools etc.
Visitors can add their own categories and markers.
I have now added a Directions tab to each marker. In there it is possible to enter a postcode and obtain directions from the postcade location to the location of the marker. The route is also plotted on a map.
The detail of the satellite image is fantastic.
