Recent additions and changes

12 June 2009. The aeromed-list celebrates it's thirteenth anniversary. Happy birthday everyone.

01 June 2009. All the databases are 'down' due to a change in the PHP language.

12 July 2009. Aeromed-list membership admin backlog up-to-date. Practitioner database not updated ... still working on underlying database fixes.

25 July 2009. Databases fixed ... sort of. Some work remaining on the practitioners database, but they're all functioning. Now to catch-up on admin backlog.


As you will see this portal is gradually being changed into a dynamic website using PHP, PERL, and JavaScript code, as well as SQL databases serving up all the information. All of this programming is being undertaken by a well-meaning amateur who has a penchant for unintended logic loops and meaningless REGEXPs ... whichever language he happens to be coding. If you do experience any unanticipated or unpleasant 'features' during your visit to this website please do let me know.
