That’s my villages new look website now LIVE!! Which I did a bit about on my blog a number of days ago. Still got lots of pages to add from the old website. But it’s fast getting there. So please check it out www.thebythams.org.uk and let me know what you think of it here! 🙂
The only another two other things I did today. Which was to do my weekly food shopping at Morrisons and give my car a much needed wash. Think, all I ended up doing was moving the mud off him and onto myself.
I now have my very own copy of Dream Boy, which I rented from LOVEFiLM.COM last week. It was so good, I had to get my very own copy. Think the cover says it all “Like Brokeback Mountain set in high school.” it’s now been added to my list of must see gay films…
Here is my top six gay films to watch.
A list of other gay films can be found my about me page.
Sorry about this website being off-line for a good 4 hours today, it was due to a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack against the people that host this website. The down time started at around 11:50am to around 4:30pm GMT. Want to read about about this problem then check out status.34sp.com.
Now onto some other stuff. At long last, I sorted myself out another hard drive, so I can backup at all main files. I use to be very good at backing everything up, till I got so much stuff even copying it all on to DVDs was taken 2 long. So I got myself a Western Digital 250GB Passport Portable USB 2.0 hard drive, from dabs.com, which set me back £34.99. Spent lots of day backing up data. So far 23.2 GB (19,130 photos) and now doing all my SD videos, which is a 52.3 GB which is going to take a wee while…
Also and also starting to fun job of redoing another one of my website. Lucky this time it’s one that I run with a friend, so hello Mark. It’s about the village that we both live in. So old (still live) version of the website can be found at www.thebythams.org.uk and the new version (not live) we’re working on can be found at www.thebythams.org.uk/thebythams/.
Oh and big thank-you to everyone that’s said good things about this new look website so far :). Still got a lot to do, but it’s getting there 🙂
Sorry about posting a blog about this, but it made my day when I read it on the Join Freesat website (now closed). Means from April Freesat will have 4 HD channels, all free of course. BBC 1 HD, BBC HD, ITV1 HD and now CH4 HD. Why people pay so much for $ky HD, I have no idea, when you get the best HD channel for free. Well that’s if you like like sport that is…
Freesat also got the BBC iPlayer, with the ITV player coming very soon. Does $ky have them? Mmmm let’s think NO!
Just got around to watching a film called “Dream Boy” that I rented from LOVEFiLM.COM last week. If your into your gay films, then it’s sure one for your list. It’s about two gay teenagers who fall in love in the rural South of America during the 1970s. Not going to say much else about it, just in case you have never watched it I would give it 8.5/10.
Since this new website went live, I have been asked where do I find all your vlogs and other video’s that use to be one the old website. To make things nice and easy I have set up two new categories on the blog.
Still go lots and lots to post. So till they are all back on-line check out video section on my old website — archived.gordon-valentine.com/videos/
Thanks everyone for all your comments about the website so far… Hoping to make this new look website go fully live in the next week or so… Don’t worry, I will not be deleted the old website. I will just be archiving it. So you can still look at all the pages, that I don’t copy over to the new look website.
The pages I have copied over the website so far today are…
Also copied over my driving blog, which can be found at www.gordon-valentine.com/category/driving/. Plus added a YouTube videos widget, so can you see my latest 3 vlogs 🙂

I spend most of the day working on this website. I hope that your all liking it so far… I am well pleased with it, so much better than the old look website. Which has not really changed much at all, since it first went live back in 1998.
Pages I have added today:-
Also added a widget that displays the newest photos 🙂
Oh and big thanks to 34sp.com for all there help over the last number of days!!
Spent the first half of the day doing more work to this website. Hope you all like it say far. I also went out a nice cycle, well mainly nice. Since about half way into it, it started to rain so I go a wee bit wet :(. I did 19.07 miles, with a average speed of 13.1 mph, maximum speed was 28.8 mph and it took me 1:27.37 (h:m:s).
Working on what may be the biggest update this website has ever had since going live in 1998… Please let me know what you think so far… 🙂
The title right now is only a temporally one, till I make a new look. Plus I will start adding all the pages from the old website, once I happy with the look of the new website.
