The site began life in about 1998. I began the process of
re-designing the enlarged site in readiness for a move to a new home in March
2000. On 21 November 2000 the site went live for testing. It was launched to
the public about a week or so so later. It was off-line for a chunk of 2002
because of server problems, and returned to life on a different server on 21
December 2002.
