It's that quiet week between Christmas and the New Year that's an excellent chance to catch up - a little - on some of the things that are important but have been abandoned in the mad rush of urgent things these last 9 months. Like writing a booking system and like - I hope - spending long overdue quality time with close family tomorrow. Shopping with the masses in Bristol ... I can't wait ;-).

"The customer is King" and "Keep it simple". Not mantras to be adhered to without though, boy good foundation stones against which new designs should be reviewed, and we've been doing some web site designing these last few days. I've been up since - what - around 5 this a.m.; took a constitutional nap in the afternoon, but then got inspiration in the early evening and was (frankly) rushing code for a diary / calendar generator in PHP when the phone-in order of hot and sour soup and Singapore rice noodles arrived from the Peking Kitchen at around 19:30.

"Keep it simple". People want to click on a calendar for their hotel arrival date ... a great way to start their booking. And what's easier than a diary that's updated to start TODAY ... every day? Nice simple script - try it out here and you'll find a source code if you want to use it. You're very welcome - but a link back would be much appreciated - that's to http://www.wellho.net ...
