Its been a little while since my last post however I am happy to confirm that the porteous.org web site is back on line.

A little while ago I commissioned an engineer to overhaul the hardware that is used to host this web site including the development of a reliable backup solution....

I had a good plan but the plan fell over when the engineer left the company he was working for.

As you can see the porteous.org web site is back with a slightly different look and feel.

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain!

• While sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
• Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

And there's nothing you can do about it!
