Server Configuration Problem

This page has detected a possible server configuration problem. If, when you reload this page the message goes away, then all is well. If the message remains, it means that pages on this web site will not display properly, and it is something that I need to investigate further.

Technical detail: PHP is not being parsed - either due to a server config problem (possibly due to server migration or someone in admin messing with the cpanel behaviour), or because this is a stale or off-line copy of the page.

On the Internet since 17th May 1994. You wont find me on Facebook or Linked-In. I only rarely tweet at @I_amDavidGibson. I live in Leeds, UK.

* My Speaking Clock doesnt actually speak - you have to do the talking yourself. See: Speaking Clock. Unlike the clock on the BBC's web site (see news item here) my clock is accurate!.

This web page will attempt to obtain an accurate time setting from the web server. If this message alters, it has been successful. Your computer's local clock may well be wrong.

If this text appears for more than a fleeting moment then something may have gone wrong, e.g.

The web server is slow in responding
You do not have JavaScript enabled
You are running an old version of JavaScript
There is a programming error - my fault
Your computer is still 'thinking about it'

Selective lists of my publications are given on my University of Exeter

and take a look at my Cave Radio web page. If you've come here because of a professional interest then you will already know my fields of work and that Im available for consultancy and contract work – Please email me for a version of My CV that includes full contact information (The online version has been redacted).
