One of the tasks I am currently working on is to create (lightweight in size terms) admin pages for mobile phone users. Basically I am looking at WML. I’ve done lots of ‘display’ pages before but never anything more than that, so accepting HTTP POST data is new to me… anyway…

…I found the following WML tutorial, which looks rather useful.

Leeds Festival 2006

It was Leeds Festival recently (25th August to 27th August) at Bramham Park and as editor of the Leeds Music Scene website I received press passes to attend and write.

Too much vodka removed any hope of words for Friday (although Klaxons were ace!), but I did write about the festivities on Saturday and Sunday. In short, I enjoyed Leeds bands The Pigeon Detectives and Shut Your Eyes And You’ll Burst Into Flames. I didn’t particularly like Panic! At The Disco. And other than their single (which I do like) I wasn’t so keen on The View.

Sheila said, “I’d rather stick a pen in my eye than watch The View again!”.

Says it all.

Sad, I know. I was sat in a field along with 65,000 other people (it was Leeds Festival at Bramham Park actually) trying to find out the latest score for the Nuneaton vs Scarborough football game.

A bit of history: Scarborough are my hometown football club. I watched my first game in 1982 and have been a fan ever since. We’ve had our ups and our downs. We’re currently on a bit of a down, hence my predicament. We’ve slipped from Division 3 down to the Conference and down again into the Conference North.

The history hints a little at the problem. None of the sports websites cover score alerts for Conference North. You can get Half Time and Full Time results, but, well, as any football fan knows, it’s not the same! You want to know the score that exact second.
