Phew ...
Come back from a weekend surfing in Cornwall(!) to discover free2air had been linked from ntk
Damn pity all those ppl who clicked on wouldn't have seen much.
Because it hasn't gone through QA, I haven't mentioned the site at all yet, but on the Friday as I I jumped into the car, I noticed a steady stream of hits. I quickly checked & noticed the user registration was dead. I had just enough time to post a note saying it was broken before I was pushed into the van to head for the coast ...
now i gotta fix the site first thing in the morning. read on for details of the link ...

Yo!! I hear you Daddy-o!
Heh, I'd never publise the address in the state the site is in at now, but it's nice to know someone @ ntk is watching & thinks we may get there ...
He must have got wind of it via seattle or consume ...
