Significant change of plan, people! KHS will be launched at the end of Year 11, not at the end of Year 13, as was previously suggested. This will probably mean a new front end page (that doesn't push the yearbook or the EULA blatantly in your face, or the face of whichever teacher might just so happen to be wanting to see it.). This will also allow us to continue without being tied to the theme of a yearbook.
More interestingly, cruising past the science faculty window (as we are wont to doing), we couldn't help splitting our sides at the sight of somebody staring out through the door, spying on people on the field, through a pair of tiny binoculars. This has inspired point 18 on the EULA. We'd 'heard' rumours about this sort of thing happening, but the proof was too much! What right do they have to spy on those people? They've got teachers out there already to sort out any misdemeanors, so why do they need visual backup? Are they recording it?
That wasn't the funniest part of the week, either. Three posters went up (non of them put up by us, you understand, lawyers?), each one worse than the last. The content of them is far too obscene to put up on KHS, but if you really want to know, you could always mail us and ask. Actually, they're more offensive than rude, but hey!
New Page, almost done:
Equations (in a few days time)
Wahoo! There's a search page now, so you can search the site for whatever it is you want. Just like a normal search engine, in fact. Apart from that, all the other hundreds of little changes are under the bonnet things, spelling corrections and the like.
Perhaps one of these days we'll manage to get the new videos from last week encoded, and put on the site. Speaking of the site, you may want to see the adverts knocked up on Paintshop Pro. They're here.

Somemay want to have a quick look at www.theweekly.co.uk which is by the same genius that brought you the late issues of Amiga Power and AP2. Issued on a weekly basis, it has the potential for success.
After a close analysis of TheCounter.com's viewing statistics for KHS, I've compiled what I suppose is the KHS monthly report - a bit like a monthly report in a real company, but without anything important like money or anything. It's quite interesting, and explaining trends is useful practice. If you want to see it, it's here. If you don't, I'll let you in on one fact: May might be our most 'profitable' month yet. *sigh* If only somebody would sponsor us, eh? Eh? EH?
The possibility of our own domain name draws ever closer. We have somebody who could host the site. Now all we need is the actual domain name, and some way of paying for it. How many would contribute to this? If it costs £50 a year and a load of people forked out, we could all end up paying very little for a place we could call home instead of a skanky limbo in a free-online universe. The most likely address is www.Lab6, which is avaiLable.

End of Lesson Rumble on Dictionary
More various tweaks, like on Elite
If you have Internet Explorer 5.0, you'll no doubt have Windows Media Player 6.0, which means you can hear the first few chapters of Jimmé sounds without needing RealPlayer (which is nasty and bloated. Well... less so). The next sounds (from November 20th) still need you to get RealPlayer G2 to play them (or perhaps wait until Media Player 7.0). Anyway, when all that's done with, you'll also need WinAMP (not just for it's general caningness) to hear the very latest sounds, which will be in mp3 format, for simplicity. Maybe one day I'll get round to turning them all into the same format, but not any day soon, since they're also spread out over three different computers and two different D's. Oh yes - and I can reccomend Internet Explorer 5.0 to most people. The best new feature is the Intellisense (obviously. Hmmm...) and it's a bit faster in most situations, but slower in others.
Speaking of counting down numbers (and aren't we all?), we have 3 chemistry lessons left, and 3 biology lessons. That's a sad situation, you understand? We hope to vid them all. Adégadé.

Déodré on dictionary, and more of an
explanation of beat bars.
The real yearbook is coming along still, but unfortunately, we were forced to step in and do some work on it. If we hadn't, it might never have happened, but it means we are in a slightly worse position to make fun of it. Oh well. There'll still be some poor sad article that we can comment out. And we have managed to 'influence' the front cover enough (some would say influence it completely, what with Dave having made it) to have as many as three Jimmé Pix on it, with baldness clearly visible.
Xoom, with their unlimited web space, now seem to be the ideal people for storing our files that we might just very well want to be uploading from school, with their very own ftp and ISDN, into our very own account, and later down onto our very own PC's at home.
There are just over three weeks of legal school left for us. Ever.
