Coming together again

And everything working again. Thankfully.

Got dreamweaver working again. Got my content finished for the online baccarat part of Gambling Castle.

But what an unnecessary struggle with crap. Why can't things like PC's and other electronics not keep working for 20 or 30 years. I have a fridge outside that we use when people come over for a braai that is at least 30 years old.

Well the industry probably makes it money from knowing that every few years people will need to replace everything. Therefore durability is not essential.

Now I am okay and ready for my poker satellite tonight. It is for a seat to a prestigious tournament in neighboring Swaziland... Can't wait.

Getting back to the site updates... Will try to get the craps section done as far as possible this afternoon... and hoping hoping hoping that roulette is also finished tomorrow before my children have their athletics meet.

Will keep you posted.

A hick-up

By this time I was supposed to be finished with Baccarat and moving on to a new game, but...

Life happened. Yesterday morning started out great with my PC dying after 8 years (probably it's time).

Then I struggled to get as much information downloaded from my web-server as possible... Slightly more successful.

Then it was time to try and get dreamweaver to work on my laptop. NO SUCCESS.

But today was a new day. Dreamweaver still not working, but I was able write a load of content at least today about baccarat.

Hoping that I will have that up by lunchtime tomorrow. Then I would ideally like to complete at least craps or roulette before the weekend hits. If possible both.

Cause next week and the week after are the first two HECTIC ones. First off would be slots, then blackjack the week after. Will post the updates tomorrow

Online Keno

Well the online keno pages work... kinda... few messses but all is well now.

Tomorrow we move on to the baccarat pages. Hopefully I can get them all done tomorrow as well. If all of the small games are done and dusted by the end of the week I will be a very happy man.

Poker Time

Friday morning and there is going to have to be some poker played this morning. Let's see how it goes...

Playing some low limits and started with $100. In 3 hours time, let's see if we can at least double that one.

Then it is on to a few hours in the sun mowing the lawn after getting the kids.

Coming back to life

Not bad for a new version... Well I think so at least. Now there is the small task of re-writing and formating a load of pages. About 300 odd to get the basics covered... then on to the hard work.

Now it was the homepage for Gambling Castle and tomorrow I will hopefully finish the online keno part.

If that is finished then the other games can follow in next week. I must say. I am enjoying this site a hell of a lot. It has become one of my children and is in its 7th year now.

Has never reached it's potential, but this is the year...

Gambling Castle all over again

It is not like I haven't done this again and again and again before. However it was time to bring it back again. Into something that looks more impressive and looks like it is actually worth the paper it is written on (well the virtual paper in any case).

The new homepage is on it's way and I hope it is alive and kicking this afternoon. Let's wait and see... It is time that my dear Gambling Castle starts looking like it should... back to the former glory.
