Link to my eBay auctions added

As the post title says, I’ve added a link to my auctions and stuff for sale on eBay.

Republished articles from The Crypt Mag added

I have started going through the articles that I have written for The Crypt Mag and republishing them on this site. I am reviewing all of the articles and will update them if I feel it is necessary, e.g. correcting mistakes or rewriting sections for better clarity. This is a work in progress and I will just add the articles as they are done.

Fixed problem with dfstudios.co.uk being reported as a malware attack site

I only recently was made aware that my website was being reported by Google as a suspected malware attack site. Depending on the security settings some browsers such as Firefox would block the site. This issue was due to my hosting of an old website for historical purposes that included a number of out-of-date links to other sites that potentially contained malware. This issue should now be sorted, although if anyone is still having problems then please let me know.

Downloads page now working

The downloads page is now working. I’m not completely happy with the layout yet so I’ll need to work on that a bit more.

I’ve also added a couple of previously released demo disk images for the BBC Micro showcasing my Image2BBC (a.k.a. BBC Micro Image Converter) utility.
