14-06-10: With my "High And Hilly" trip to India 2010 being underway, the only updated content you'll see now is in the blogzone and the First Showing gallery.

04
-05-10: In preparation for the forthcoming India trip, moved "First Showing" pictures to the main India gallery.

22-04-10:
Updated the information on portable music players in the tone zone.


16
-04-10: A new homepage Flash movie plus updates on wifi risks in the online zone.

13

17
-02-10: A zippier version of the home page wanders out into the wilds...


28-12-09: Rejigging of the site is complete: side menu and "You are in..." headers zapped and a new, frame-free design adopted. The site was modified "live," so you might have witnessed some strange effects over the last three days. The switch needed each and every page on the site to be examined and recoded to remove frameset redirects, but as the Xams break is the quietest time for visitors, it seemed like a good period to choose.

04-07-09:
The uptime results for this site over the last twelve months are very impressive: the tokezone.net server has been down for just seven minutes in 365 days. Which means the site has been here for you 99.99866% of the time!

08-02-09: If you're a geek, you may be interested to know that this site's host changed over to using Litespeed server technology (previously used Apache) in January. Results should be faster PHP page loads and file downloads.


08-09-08: Switched servers again after an unsatisfactory experience with WebHostingPad. The SoftLayer datacentre in Dallas, Texas should be both faster and more reliable in serving the site's pages than what visitors saw over the past ten weeks.

08-07-08:
Reorganised the navigation methods in the online zone (drop-down menu instead of links in a table). "Home computer" content moved to page two to keep the "public computer" material clearer and more compact.

01-07-08:
The site is up again after being flat on its back for three days. Staggering around, wild-eyed and a little lost, but up. There was a (big) problem with my hosting provider and their first backup attempt came out strange: for a while visitors to the tokezone were treated to another site entirely. The recent backup was so old it didn't include this site at all. Well, it's the longest the site has been out in seven years...

18-05-08: Layout change in the tips zone. Information is now organised under topics, which makes the larger number of travel tips easier to work with on a single page. Coming soon - the travel tips in e-book format.

29-04-08: A little spring freshen-up for the top header in this (News) zone.

03-12-07: The site will only be active in the blogzone for the next three months. This means that - instead of straining my eyes in front of the monitor at home - I'll be out in the high lands and hilly lands of India. As well as, probably, straining my eyes in some masala-scented Internet cafe...

03-06-2010: Countries our visitors are from:




03-06-2010: Which computer operating systems people are using when they visit:

 

Some of the plans for the site in the next six months (my "to do" list):

1. Replace the HTML help file in cafeKlysm with CHM
2. New menu system for navigation and renaming pages
3. More photos to be uploaded to the "First Showing" gallery
4. Additions to country photo galleries with a new gallery style
5. Blogging and photo updates from India, summer 2010
