So, Whats the Site for?

First of all it's an intermediate Web Developer resource. Secondly I'm using it to plug my work and other projects/sites hoping to increase my hit rate. Like you do :-)

I'm planning to update this site on a regular basis but if previous experience is anything to go by as soon as I start one of my own projects I get really busy at work or helping friends with their web sites. Even so you should find new stuff on each visit. I hope that you fine something useful on the site.

Cheers to everyone who's visited this site. I've all of a sudden been getting quite a few hits and think it's time I added more bits and tweaked some of the code.

I'm quit busy at the moment so will do what I can when I can. If any of you would like to contact me or correct any sub-standard code on my site you can contact me, Mike Dobson, here miked@newmediaplugin.co.uk


Yes, I know I've spelt the word Squeak wrong. I made a typo when registering the domain name, oops!

What on earth is the SqueekMachine I hear you ask. Well, is my player name from the game Unreal Tournament.

I wanted a silly name. Wibble came first, then Squeek formally known as wibble (wouldn't fit so shortened it to Squeek_wibble). Finally I settled for SqueekMachine named after the little moor hen chicks I hear on the pond behind work while having a cigarette break which walk around constantly squeaking. The hens squeak, not me.
