Happy New Years 2007 to all our happy coffee swillers here at Beck’s Cafe!!
Well 2007 should be yet another exciting year at the cafe: Lots of new coffee sputtering from the espresso machine, fine froths of milk on mugs and hopefully some interesting reading as well. It should be fun.

One thing that was NOT very fun when we strolled in this morning though was the message we got upont trying to load a nice Happy New Years 2007 graphic:

Unable to create directory. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

We’d thought we’d solved that technical nuisance back last year. Apparently not. Either that or the move of the calendar to 2007 has confused our otherwise robust (if sometimes slow) data center.

THEN, insult to injury, we found that some of the links from site back back into Beck’s Cafe didn’t appear to work. So,attempting to see where the code might be broken we went to W3C, ran a validation test and *ouch* here’s the answer:

This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

So we’ll be graphics and photo free for a bit, and a little clunky on internal Beck’s Cafe links from the site map whilst we figure out how to fix all this. Guess we’ll need more coffee!

Now onto our regularly scheduled program.
