[HLUG] Open source intranet?

[dicegeorge at hotmail dot com]

almost but if you read between the lines of my email
you will see i didnt say that i did it, but that i chose it,
they wanted to pay someone to do their website (our website)
so i stepped back -
but it looks as if nothing's changed since then...
http://www.tlio.org.uk/

my websites havnt changed much since frames came in with netscape2,
and since i spent a winter reading a javascript book by candlelight,
I've upgraded from notepad to wordpad to edit them
but might move to plone or NVU or something
when i have the time to unscramble the javascript code I wrote
(http://www.phreak.co.uk/stonehenge/psb/stonepix.htm)
maybe when i leave windows for ubuntu,
i'm half and half now...
