Tech spec for the site and web stuff
This site has undergone some serious problems since it was created in the spring of 2006.First off it was a diary of my travels,views and problems encountered as a Dad and a long distance H.G.V driver.This was soon taken off line when my previous employer took the view that it posed a security threat and a rather snotty letter to me via my wife told me in not so many words to remove all mention of the firm in words or pictures.I must say however that the site was in no way derogertary to the firm but a truth full view of life in the funny lane.Shame as with the amount of drivers that leave the firm every year they could of used it to get fresh meat rather than crappy newspaper adverts that cost a fortune?

The new site will concentrate on the things that make me laugh,rather than the daily toil and bills.There will be video blogs and of course loads of pictures.The emphasis will be clean cutting edge presentation with full access for all regardless of age,creed or abiltity.

It has been created using Adobe Photoshop,GoLive 6 and LiveMotion2.The tools I have used for the last 5 years without any problems.The site will load on all computers and there is no need to be all singing and dancing as I am a strong believer in the lowest common denominator.Dont get lost get listed - after months of trying I have managed to get top spot for the site on the big players in the search engine league with the key word being Jonester. Next on the list is a mention on the BBC site - I have been on before and I am sure I will return.....
