Remember cooltrucks.net?
I do, heck it's burning a hole in my hard drive 
I removed it because I was without a computer for over 6 months 
and ran out of time. Well if you remember I was working to the west of Montreal and lived near Bromont. It sometimes took me up to 3 hours to get to work... SO I got in my truck at 5am and got back home at around 8 to 10pm, no time for web site...
But now things are back to norm, I live 5 minuts from the job and still very busy but I miss my cooltrucks web site. I think it looked nice and all. But I will have to redo that sucker because my programming skills back then where not all that great.
I will have a new domain name because stupid me, I forget to renew cooltrucks.net oh well... I've been wondering on what in the H E double hockey sticks could I build a site about? Just because I don't actually own a truck anymore doesn't mean I can't own a web site about trucks, right
I'm currently working on it right now... I will not have any message boards or anything... For now it's going to be on my personal server here hooked up to my broadband connection but I will set it up on a Cobalt RaQ4 server later on
Take care,
Steve
P.S I was thinking maybe make a site about the little ZX2's but man, I'd have a hand full of domestic rice boys YUCK! I could puke trying to upload an image of a car with a 3 foot wing.

ATST, I sent you an email, CL it's gonna be better
Truth is the coding was very sucky so I redid the whole thing. It's pretty cool, I wrote a content manager and a content viewer. So I basically have one HTML page and the rest of the data is pulled from a database. That means I can revert to that puke green color I had once before in a split second. I hope to be done by Christmas? I also will try and build a message board from scratch but that's a big IF.
I have been promoted to Webmaster here at work so I have an online catalog to build (1,800 products to eventualy 10,000) And THREE web sites to build and all this before January
I also have to build two sites for my business and a portfolio site for myself! So I guess I'll have my nose glued to the screen for the next few months. Damn I'll have to stop chasing all those perdy women at work
BUT I'm buying a LapTop computer so I can code when away from home, like visiting my parents or for X-mas vacation hehe
Take care...

That sounds awesome!
Although I don't understand ANY of what you said (except about the laptop part) it sounds like you really made some improvements! I can't wait to see it! I understand it may be awhile - just keep us posted ok?
