Congratulations To Christopher
Christopher has now received the results of his examination for Qualification for promotion to the rank of Inspector.
Christopher came 25th in the Country and obtained the highest marks in the country for "Evidence and procedure."
Not only that but he gained the highest marks in the West Midlands Police Force.
What makes these results even more impressive is that he has achieved this and also his Masters degree whilst bringing up 5 year old twin girls. Well done Christopher your family are proud of you.

Further to my earlier entry
Sage-Virus-attack-Defeated I have now made several further
changes to my website. Most things may appear cosmetic but in
fact it took many hours of research, trial and error to get
things working. the latest version of PHP is version 7.x but most
things were written and created in the era of version 5.x. Due to
this the creators of software such as PHPBB3, Coppermine and so
on have been upgrading their software accordingly. However not
all of the software has been or can be upgraded for one reason or
another. I have now managed to work round this problem by creating TWO web sites on the same computer, the main website runs PHP7, anything that doesn't work or does not work correctly is maintained on the second website running PHP5.4 It was quite a feat setting this up and for anyone interested, while it was still fresh in my mind I have written a guide here. |

On our way back from London we called into the
Coventry Transport Museum. I have been to plenty of similar
museums in the past but I consider this one to be the best so
far. There are several floors of exhibitions ranging from pedal
cycles - penny farthing, cycles with multiple seats - right
through to self driving electric cars. From Double decker buses
to vehicles that have broken land speed records. Entry is free but there is provision for voluntary donations. In addition there is a very nice cafe. |

Sage Virus attack Defeated
| Early in June 2017 our computer systems were
attacked by the
"Sage Ransomware Virus" - this virus is almost identical to the
widely publicised
"Wannacry Virus" that hit the NHS and a month later the
"Petya Virus" that hit Mondelez (Cadbury's) and a large number
of Government Departments across Eastern Europe. So severe were these
attacks that a South Korean Web Hosting Company actually
paid a $1 million ransom. Fortunately I was able to restore my affected computers despite the virus making 3 seperate attempts to attack my network at roughly two week intervals. Following this I have been updating the software used to run this website. This is an ongoing process because it seems that not all of the latest versions of an item are happy with the latest versions of other items. One such example is when using PHP 7.x the right hand column of the front page of my site no longer displays unless I disable the coppermine plug-in. These conflicts have been reported to the appropriate Forums. (Coppermine) - (Serendipity) |
