The Bath - Bristol Cycle Path photo tour.
The entire 14-mile route in pictures.

With animated route map and navigation tips, in Classic and Broadband editions!

NEW! The Bath to Bradford on Avon Cycle Tour.
Take the Kennet & Avon canal towpath along the tranquil Limpley Stoke Valley. The countryside's even more beautiful than the Bath-Bristol route, and the scenery includes colourful narrowboats and two aqueducts!

NEW - Google and Microsoft maps of the tour routes - drag them, zoom them, see satellite pics! (See tour menu - requires broadband connection).

Paul's Panoramas.

Paul's Backgammon Vaults
Backgammon games (and the occasional tip) that you can watch in your web browser. View them play-by-play or sit back and run them in autoplay. Why? Because it helps to improve your game (and if you're into backgammon, they're fun to watch too). 400+ matches online already, and it's only just started!

Want to build your own animated backgammon website? See BG Replay, the software that powers the Vaults!
Big Brother special - Housemate's Dilemma.
As this year is the bitchiest Big Brother (UK) ever, here's a special version of Prisoner's Dilemma, the game of cooperation and betrayal. Can you out-bitch your housemate, avoid being nominated and win the house a luxury food budget?
Runs in Internet Explorer and FireFox.

Avalaff - the antidote to digital TV bingo channels!
No proper bingo on telly any more? Don't worry, we still play the real thing, where you have to complete the patterns to win! No stake money, no prizes, but all the fun and thrills of online bingo. See your name up there on the leaderboard! Includes upgraded, high-speed Stats Edition for the serious bingo-odds student.
New patterns plus NEW Balls Edition
- be a winner every time!
 

NEW! Avalaff Sig Buffle
Just when you thought telly gaming channels couldn't get any worse, they did - and so have we! Try our new role-playing card-turn game (it's just for fun!) (Note - if you've never seen a digital TV bingo channel you probably won't have a clue what we're on about, but if you have, you might enjoy the joke. Either way, Avalaff plays a mean game of bingo - and now card-turning too!)
Avalaff is also at www.avalaff.net.


Hypertext fiction NEW! 
Hyperfiction breaks free of the single-path, beginning-middle-end contraints of conventional storytelling. In these two hyperstories you can make Billy's day (literally) and discover what beautiful teenager Sam really feels about her life.
 

Paul's Web Design Pages - promoted higher up the menu because people prefer it to the newer stuff!
Hints and tips on web authoring from my magazine series.
Includes IE4 and IE5 Dynamic HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, the absolute basics of HTML and rather nifty (though I say it myself) step-by-step guides to frames, forms, browser windows and image rollovers. Old material, but still popular after all these years, which shows how far web authoring has come recently. Cookie libraries added - and updated!

Not-a-weblog Disclaimer

This site is not a weblog, but that doesn't mean I can't put weblog-style stuff in this column to fill it up, does it? So on that basis....

I'm viewing this site in...
Internet Explorer, and I suggest you do the same, except for the Panoramas, which are great in Opera. Mozilla FireFox is pretty good too, so I'm gradually converting things (except Avalaff) to run in that as well.

I'm watching...
Casualty, Holby City and, to my own horror, Coupling on Paramount Comedy. They're also showing the truly great Rab C Nesbitt on Wednesdays. Big Brother, is as unwatchable as it's been for years. I still watch This Week, although these days it's mainly in the hope that Diane Abbott and Michael Portillo will actually start canoodling on that sofa.

I'm reading...
The Sailor's Return, by David Garnett. He also wrote the slightly mind-boggling 'Lady into Fox', about a bloke whose wife turns into an, er, fox. I read the da Vinci Code last year - brilliant pot-boiler, but I don't think the history's meant to be taken too seriously

I'm drinking...
Decaff coffee. Stick some Coffee Mate in it and it tastes like the real thing, but doesn't make your arm go stiff after four cups. Magic!

I'm listening to...
One Sweet Life by Brotherly - jazz, soul, broken beat from West London (it's brilliant!), Tuck and Patti, Joni Mitchell (always), Crosby Stills and Nash (1st album) -  "It's been a long time coming, it's going to be a long time gone." Too right, mate! Where did we go wrong?

I'm writing in...
English (allegedly), JavaScript (love it), PHP (just about). Paulspages is still a guaranteed 100% VB-free zone, but I've been writing VBScript server-side under ASP on another project and I've, er, actually got to quite like it. OK, I'll get my coat...

I believe...
Dropping Internet Explorer for the Mac isn't going to have quite the effect Microsoft thinks it will.

I don't believe...
Gordon Brown. He boasted that the £23 billion he'd grabbed from the phone companies for their 3G licences was 'free money', when it fact they have to get it back from their customers (us) just as if it had been a hike in VAT. But then look at the opposition. I'm not sure we do deserve politicians like these.
