The following is a list of what's been added to the site since Version 4.0 was launched in May 2004 (Version 1.0 was born in July 2001):



 

Date: May 2008

Amendments:

Added an Extreme Ironing area to the Adrenaline section. Lots of photos of shirts getting starched 72ft off the ground




 

Date: February 2008

Amendments:

 
Added the Wedding photos finally
  Added the Wedding videos too
 
Updated all of The International Playboy pages with my current details
  Uploaded a video of Tina and I Volcano Boarding. Obtain one piece of wood, place on top of a dormant volcano, sit on it and let gravity mix with stupidity!
  As everyone in the world seems to have one, I finally got a Facebook account. Good grief. If you know my real name you can search for me I guess.




 

Date: June 2007

Amendments:

 
Got the Videos page up and running. I'm especially proud of the leg-snapping Nevis Bungy vid, and the excellent Skydive clip.
 
Added two more videos - Climbing in the Rockies, and Tanya Muff Diving.
 
My Google adverts are actually paying for the site now! I'm very pleased.
 
Just for shits and giggles, I've bolted the old HighHander website onto DodgyBarnet.com. It's ugly, but nostalgia-tastic.

Be aware that I will not be updating the content to the HighHander pages.
 
Updated the M3 page with more software links, and pics of my new DS Lite.




 

Date: August 2006

Amendments:

 
Updated the site in regards to my move to Korea . I'll be here in Seoul for a year so did some house cleaning.
 
Made a fortune ($20) from Google last month! Hopfully this continues… Now clearly I would never recommend clicking on one of the advert links to help me out, as that would be against the Google TOS. Nope. Not me. Nu huh…

Date: May 2006

Amendments:

Added the Ireland page with spiel and photos.
I've been feeling rather old lately, so to overcome this I've built a MySpace account to be just like every other l33t dØØd teenager. OMFG! LOL&ROFL: I've H4x0rd Myspace!!!11!one!!

To paraphrase someone funnier than me: "Myspace is like a nightclub with crappy music, crappy decor & crappy drinks, but it's where everyone else is; so you end up there too."

Quite.
Updated the plans page to include, cunningly, new plans
Google adverts has so far made me $2.72! I'm on my way to becoming an internet millionaire I can feel it!
Added some photos of Tina's engagement ring.




 

Date: April 2006

Amendments:

Learned Flash, as you can see on the title page, and from the new banner at the top of each page.

Additionally, I've updated the Gallery photos so that they're in a sexy Flash slideshow; which is way prettier. More content along these lines will be added over time.
Added Google adverts to the site - It'll take time to see if "pays off".




 

Date: March 2006

Amendments:

Finally created a Gallery page with a selection of my best photos. I'll keep adding to it too.




 

Date: February 2006

Amendments:

Added a page to the ANFSCD section - my Nintendo DS and M3 section. For lots of lovely Gamer goodness.
Holy Crap! I've actually got off my arse and uploaded some photos!

I've been brooding over the scan quality of my South Pacific photos, but recently got over it and have uploaded photos for Tonga, Samoa and Fiji.

I have more on my computer that have been photoshopped, so I'll get on the case and upload them soon.

February should be a month of Photoshop and Dreamweaver for me.
Updated the plans page as I've made a change to the Canada road trip idea - it's been scrapped.
Added a search function (look at the bottom of the sidebar) which is rather nifty. Pretty useful I'd say.
Made a better 404 page. To those who don't know what this is; if you somehow get a broken link (example) you'll go to a special page that helps you. This is where the Search function was first enabled.




 

Date: November 2005

Amendments:

Lot's of stuff this month:

Got engaged!
Updated a whole host of pages as I've stopped teaching and am now living in Calgary, Canada:
- The future plans page
- Where's Pauly
- Added an Alaska page
- Added a Canada page

On a techy note; I've switched hosting providers to the lovely ixwebhosting which is achingly better than crappy yahoo in terms of both service and price. Hopefully they prove to be reliable too.






 

Date: March 2005

Amendments:

Added the And Now For Something Completely Different section is new too, and contains lots of, well, different things. This was a big job so am glad it's finally up. So far it contains:

Hilarity - A collection of funny stuff I've downloaded and been emailed over the years.
ESL Questions - a section devoted to ESL Questions. I use them every day, if not every class. Just so damn useful.
Relaxation - No mumbo-jumbo, no tuning into 'energies of Gaia', just an easy no-nonsense guide to relaxation.
Added some more photos to the Korea page - Around Seoul, and The Couple™
Amended the Plans page as it's been a while, and the finishing line is coming into view for my time in Korea.
Just a quick note to say I'm rather pleased to see that if you type "dodgy barnet" into Google then this site is listed as #1 (of 4,000). I feel so special! I used to be miles down the list!

That and I've now had over 10,000 hits to Dodgybarnet.com - Impressive I think.





 

Date: February 2005

Amendments:

Updated the mug-shots on the Korea page as loadsa people have buggered off.
More photos from drinking, 'theme-parking', and Santaring on the Korea page.
Lots of techy stuff:

Setup images to preload into the cache. In theory viewing of pages is more sexy now. DodgyBarnet.com is getting very graphics-heavy, but that's the price of looking pretty I guess.
Corrected the loadscreen to be mighty fine.
Added a background image to all photos so people can know if the loading has got stuck. Cunning.
Added a border to all images to make them look prettier. Thanks to my PA!
Made a pretty Shortcut Icon:
Nice huh?





 

Date: January 2005

Amendments:

Finally amended the Blog after some time off.
Moved the HighHander.com website to a new location. I made this website for my poker buddies as practice for making this version of DodgyBarnet.com

So, yeah, here you can find tournament photos, ranting, poker news, and general poker based stuff all here.
Made a loadscreen for the welcome page. Now things should load much smoother. It's a bit of a MacGyver-esk dodgy job but I'm quite proud. Yay!




 

Date: October 2004

Amendments:

Amended all of the country pages:

Korea -
Put up various photos from activities I've been up to.
Tonga -
Added more stories, better maps, and details of my time spent in the South Pacific.
Samoa
Fiji
New Zealand -
Finally updated this page - I spent a year in Kiwiland so it was a bit criminal that there wasn't any details. All good now though.
Australia -
A few tweaks
Malaysia -
Cleaned up the pages, and added a few extra bits'n'bobs. Unfortunately these pages wont get any photos added for a fair old while as the negatives are locked up in England, safe for the day when I eventually settle down and buy a scanner. Bummer.
Thailand
Laos
Myanmar
Cambodia
Vietnam
China -
Got 'em ready for some photos to be added. Nice.
Mongolia
Russia

I'll add more to them as and when I think of funny things to write. Cunning.
Added more entries to the Teaching Blog. Gotta love crazy Korea.




 

Date: August 2004

Amendments:

Put up loadsa drinking sessions photos from about the town. See them HERE
Added to the Teaching Blog - more hilarity to be had in sunny funny Seoul.

Big Stuff still to add: There are no photos in either the Gallery, nor many of the individual countries within the Photos section, so that's first on my list. Additionally the whole of the Hilarity section needs to be built. Plenty to keep me busy when I should planning my lessons.




 

Date: July 2004

Amendments:

Added a Teaching Blog that gives a few extra entries that relate to my experiences teaching here in South Korea. Nice.

Fully updated at the end of July with lots more stuff!
Put up some photos from the Daechon Mud Festival where a bunch of us got down and dirty - kinda.




 

Date: June 2004

Amendments:

Updated the "International Playboy" pages to account for me escaping from London and moving to Seoul to become a teacher. The Dodgy Barnet is back on the road!
Added more links to the Links page.
Oh, and I put photographic proof of the Dodgy Barnet circa 1996 and when I was a cute kiddy on the FAQ page.



 

Date: May 2004

Amendments:

After 6 months of work on upgrading the site from version 3, the new look DodgyBarnet.com is finally up. Admittedly a fair proportion of those 6 months was spent doing other things than writing pithy prose and swearing at my computer - I also had to go to work, drink, eat, drink some more, sleep off drinking too much, go out drinking with friends again anyhow… You get the idea.
