The Webmaster's Curse

Why does a "It will only take 10 minutes" job turn into a 2 hour hair puller? No, it's not a joke, it's the bane of a webmasters Saturday morning. I decided to "tweak" the css file on my german and In2French sites this morning - quick job, no probs out for the day (yeah right!) . While doing the french site i discovered a whole host of errors which had to be sorted out: broken links, crappy coding (opps), January sales banners, closed merchant affiliate programs... argh!
Things rediscovered today- 1)Tidy up your coding, 2)Check pages still work on sites you may have created a while back and 3)Never rely on a merchant to update seasonal banners (grrr)

To chill out, i ended up at the gym and caught up with the second half of the Stade Francais and Biarritz Heineken Cup semi final - wow, Biarritz were robbed! I nearly fell off the treadmill when the Stade Francais try was allowed after a knock on ( or two). If you can bear to read the match report - here's a link Sky Sports Rugby Report

Ii'm off, James Martin is talking about mincing his pork (?!) should be fun!
