This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Woolly jumpers
The BBC is reporting that a British woman, Paula Ward, has won an award for a device which stops certain numbers being dialled and so stops her 11 year old daughter connecting to the Internet and using inappropriate chat rooms. At least I think that’s what it does but the report is not all that clear.
If this, or something similar, is what the device does then isn’t there a simpler solution? Why doesn’t Ms Ward simply password protect her Internet application? Well, I know why Ms Ward doesn’t. Her device is on sale for �30 but why wouldn’t anyone else just use a password?
Am I missing something here or do I see someone trying to pull a large woolly jumper over my eyes?
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
