MySpace Loses myspace.co.uk in DRS Appeal

A success for TWS barring a High Court Appeal and a success it would seem for the lawyer Jim Davies who is a candidate Board Elections.

Secondly, the panel considered the crucial (and more broadly relevant) question of how much control TWS had over what appeared on the parking site. It accepted that TWS had not interfered with the content of myspace.co.uk, including when ads relating to social networking began to appear. Rather, they had been generated and updated by Sedo’s software, so it was natural that MySpace’s rapid rise be reflected.

Applying New Themes to your Wordpress Blog

I came across this Tutorial on , which gives a very good instruction on installing and configuring a new Theme to your :

The only thing to point out is that the paths may be slightly different on your installation. For instance on a Plesk servers your will be installed in the httpdocs folder. Lets say you installed in the directory (ie http://www.yourdomain.com/) then once you have downloaded the theme and uploaded it using (or the FTP programme of your choice) then navigate to:httpdocs//wp-content/themes

(Replacing “” with name of the directory you installed ).

If however you installed in the root of your web space then simply navigate to:

httpdocs/wp-content

Happy !

UK net registry battles coup d’etat

Updated , the not-for-profit registry for .co.uk web addresses, is facing an attempted coup by a group of members who want to force its bosses to hand back millions of pounds in surplus fees.

The company took the rearguard step on Monday of writing to all its 3,000 members encouraging them to turn out to vote in ongoing elections for two non-executive board members. The official communication (pdf) goes as far as campaigning against the three would-be usurpers: Darren Brown, Jim Davies, and Robert Fox.

Cheap Green UK Web Hosting

UK Web Hosting Provider offer Carbon Offset and Environmentally Friendly Web Hosting
clipped from www.hostedintheuk.com

Weycrest have relocated their business operation in an eco friendly business centre in East London, next to the River Thames, opposite the “famous” O2 Arena. The buildings are constructed entirely from recycled shipping containers! This tends to play havoc with local wireless networks due to the “Faraday Cage” effect, but this is to some extent appropriate as Michael Faraday conducted his original lighting experiments in conjunction with Trinity House from adjacent Lighthouse on the site (the only lighthouse on the River Thames).

Some time ago we realised our web servers may be contributing to CO2 emissions so decided to take some time helping to reduce the effects of global warming by cutting down on our ‘carbon footprint’.
