Mr Cruisedog's Holiday Home

Mr Cruisedog popped by for a quick visit and noticed that people still arrive on the site - either out of curiosity or the old link on the Ash Hash (also spaces live) site. It's been 3 months since the site was mothballed but glancing through, methinks that we could utilize it - albeit on a limited service.

Despite its obvious limitation of being unable to accept javascript, the spaces live site does have redeeming qualities, notably the carousel of photos which automatically cycle through at a predetermined speed.

No promises, but we'll see if we can operate it on a limited service. The Editor (Mr Cruisedog to you lot)
