The official poster of the next Star Wars has been released. Check it out here.

Extract from starwars.com

“The theatrical release poster is now on its way to movie theaters. The new one-sheet is illustrated by Drew Struzan, continuing a tradition begun with the Special Edition release of the Star Wars trilogy in 1997. This new poster places Anakin within the larger framework of the Episode III storyline, with the main cast of characters — Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, Darth Sidious, and the dark helmet of Darth Vader — featured prominently. ”

Looks like there are going to be a load of great movies on this year. Some of these have already been on at the cinema – I have just not got round to watching them yet. There are properly a few I have forgot.

Aahhhhhh!!!!!! What a terrible night of football. For a start United play terrible and are just outplayed by AC Milan. We lose 1-0 on the night (2-0 on aggragate). To make it worse it was on-loan Chelsea striker Crespo who scored. Our best chance was was Giggs hit the post. Ruud has a chance or 2 but just messed it up. Rooney was hardly in the game. Ronaldo was frustrating to say the least. He just kept shooting when other players were open. Instead of Rooney swearing at the ref today, he was swearing at Ronaldo. If Ronaldo doesnt get his act together he could see himself on his way out sooner rather than later. The only player who played well was Rio although I think he could have been tighter to Crespo when he scored. Howard did alright – not sure how much he could have done to prevent the goal.

I have to say that Milan are a very good team with the 35/36 year old Cafu being one of, if not the, best man on the pitch.

…. and if that was not all bad enough Chelsea go and beat Barcelona. It seemed like an amazing game with Chelsea 3-0 up after only 30 minutes. Barcelona did manage to get 2 goals back and would have gone through on away goals but then Terry scores near the end to send them through. Stupid arrogant idiots go through At suppose it could be worse – they could be Arsenal. At least with Chelsea I dont mind some of there players like Lampard. Its just a shame that there manager is a t*at, and they have diving arrogant players like Drogba.

If this is your first visit you won’t notice anything, but if you have been here before you will notice something. I have changed the look of the whole site, although there are a few pages still to be updated with the new design. Once these are done I am going to be re-doing some pages such as the photos page.

For those interested, the site has been designed using CSS (cascading style sheets) and also XHTML. This has been used for the layout instead of using the usual tables. This seperates the presentation (aka content) away from the structure (aka layout). By using CSS instead of tables for the structure it is all more standards compliant. Which is all good It also speeds up the loading of each page (the HTML/text ratio is low) and the actual content is displayed before the images. By using CSS and XHTML the site is more accessible to people on multiple devices e.g. PDA and also to visually impaired users. There are several others advantages but can’t be bothered mentioning them all.

There is one disadvantage though and that is older browsers dont really support CSS to well if at all for some of the older browsers but to be honest people using old browsers need to upgrade! Saying that though, Internet Explorer – the most used browser, does support CSS2 too well.

Some technical stuff – I have not included the DOCTYPE code – this tells the browser what type of document it is and what sort of rules to use when rendering the page. Unfortunately when I do this and tell the browser what doc type the site is, and someone goes to my site in IE it messes up the site. I think its something to do with the way 1&1 web forward the page. Oh well I have tested the site in IE6 and Firefox 1.0.1 on a PC and it looks fine so for now I will just leave it like it is.

Its Comic Relief night on 11th March – there has been the usual events going on including the Celeb Fame Academy and also Radio 1 doing the Red Nose Day Rally.

The Celeb Fame Academy has been really good and finishes on 11th March. The idea if you dont know is several celebs compete in a singing competition. When you call in to vote for your favourite, a certain amount goes to charity. My favourite is Radio 1 DJ Edith Bowman who I didnt realise has a half decent voice. There are a few others who can sing OK but some have been terrible. Come on Edith – everyone get behind Edith

The Chris Moyles Red Nose Rally basically involves all the ppl from the Chris Moyles radio show and also some other Radio 1 ppl such as Nemone and Scott Mills travelling from John O’Groats to Lands End making money along the way by doing various challenges, pub quizes etc
