Are back, see the link below. Thanks to Charles Blackburn for the server
space!

The website move was actually useful for me, as I've been a bit bored
with BBC stuff for the last year and wanted to spend less time on the
website.

So, I'm almost certainly not going to put back the rest of my old
webpages, and I'm not going to make many updates. Maybe the pictures
section could be put back, but if I do, then only with automatically
generated html as with the scan section. I'd prefer not to though, maybe
if someone else wants to maintain that section? Text going with the
images could also be added to html pages from text files, say named
<imagefilename>.txt using a script.

For pictures, scans and software, a load distribution by using a
BSD-like system of various people able to upload and update would be
nice. This would require a single website with at least a couple of GB
space for scans (size say 1600x1200, processed to remove most of the
texture for grayscale images; I don't like B&W scans as these have
jaggies...)

In the scan section, I left in a few old scans by mistake, which give a
nice comparison of the original and processed images (using my own
program, a commandline C program). Have a look here@... /
