I'm still interested in the graphics side of things -- perhaps I can design the skin for the encyclopedia? -- ie, we now collaborate (which is probably what we should have done years ago but I was too precious about it at the time!)

I'd very happy to work with you and have a new and better skin for the site. Maybe you could reuse parts of the work you did for the codex so that all would not be lost? Or maybe you have new ideas. It is up to you.
Drupal is pretty powerful for theming.
There are roughly 3 levels of customizations:
- CSS style sheet(s). This defines how content is displayed (colors, fonts etc.)
- some templates for pages, nodes, comments. These are simple php scripts. (it is the phptemplate engine used in other projects)
The main is the page template, that is used on all pages of the site. Templates defines the structure of the pages: which content gets where and in which order (menus, blocks, etc.)
- theming functions: each piece of content generated by drupal can be themed by overriding the default functions that apply themes to them. This option is the harder, but you can achieve pretty much anything using all of this.
It may require some drupal learning on your side, tough, but their documentation is pretty decent for such a freeware software, which is really helpful.
Some sample drupal themes:

This is what I hate most: there were so many abandoned projects with RC/CSBwin dungeons! If a certain abandoned project could be continued or reused by another person, it`s fantastic, because his work won`t be lost!
Remembering that Dungeon Master was developed in the team.

Since the "Forum quote" thread should actually not be used for a "Flashchat quote", I put this here:
[Sophia] 11:20 pm: 14 inch.. it wasn't really a big one
[Sophia] 11:20 pm: i was hungry

Bought a Inspiron 1300 from dell for a reasonable (I hope) price as a dossing around on train/in house/walking around laptop. Anyone have any good/bad comments abotu them?
I've already been directed to a link to remove all the crap demos easily Dell are apparently notorious fo.r Then I'll have to shut down all the bubble graphics of Windows Bubble just to get a decent speed. Extra memory is already sitting in my bag : )

I'm sure he meant "rational price" like in "rational numbers", because Dell's prices are divided by 1/2.

I'm currently watching the Snooker World Championships on TV, Mark Williams versus Anthony Hamilton... Too bad my spitting image is losing badly.
