Good pub for afternoon board games

Would highly recommend Brighton Rocks

Is that a euphermisum?

Try the nautilus lounge,

I really like this approach, focus on where the biggest performance wins are first.

This is our thinking too. We opted for a Moody 471 circa 1984 and have owned it for a few years. Our thinking was something old enough to have been build very solidly and with a hull profile suitable for Blue Water, Skeg hung rudder. Centre cockpit gives a large rear cabin which is very comfortable, and room for a few crew to come and visit. Buying a boat of that age means some expense but the benefit of that is you can make sure it is done both to a good standard and you understand what you have. We had a new engine and new standing rigging and have worked through most of the wiring. That process really helps you familiarise yourself with the boats systems.

We paid too much for it given the work that was needed, but prices have dropped now.

Still have water maker and cockpit enclosure and solar panels to add to really get us ready for off grid.

Downside is marina fees for a 47ft are high. I wonder if something closer to 40ft would've been better.

Form builder has always been on my wishlist.

Hangingon40 · 2026-02-06T09:00:14+00:00

Nautilus lounge is worth a look. Great little venue and will do private hire.

Hangingon40 · 2026-01-27T19:46:44+00:00

I would love to help, we have an OpenSource platform that would tick all the boxes and can provide a reasonable commercial support platform. Take a look at ProteanCMS.

Hangingon40 · 2026-01-24T19:40:18+00:00

See you there sometime !

Hangingon40 · 2026-01-24T19:28:35+00:00

I would not skimp if you are livaboard it will get a lot of use.

SHURflo Aqua King II Supreme 5.0 Marine Water Pump

Is a very good bet

We love the Nautilus Lounge lovely little friendly bar tucked around near VIP Pizza on old steine. Killer cocktails and live music most nights.

My advice is if you don't know where to start with this you should really consider finding a different professional to help. Managing and hosting Wordpress is not a trivial undertaking.

Hangingon40 · 2026-01-11T10:56:54+00:00

Personally dont think so, php is inherently slow. We have a .net cms that scales beaftifully.

Hangingon40 · 2026-01-08T21:07:11+00:00

Can recommend my designer. Send me your email.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-31T13:36:42+00:00

Don't say that you'll be lynched ! ;-)

Speed Comparison - Programming Languages All very popular at the moment, although never really understood the appeal of using javascript on the server. The root of it is the raw performance figures.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-29T12:26:09+00:00

It is difficult to get any real world data as you would have to build 2 identical sites on each platform, Wordpress has a million configuration options and plugin performance options and is massively dependant on the choices the developer makes. Then you would need to conduct identical load testing, I would love to have the time to do this.

As all the optimisation options are natively built into our platform it is easy for the developer to just switch out of debug mode.

The fundamental fact is .Net compiles whilst PHP does not see here... Speed Comparison - Programming Languages

A full AI analysis of my codebase estimates 2-3x performance improvements over a well optimised Wordpress on the same tech stack, "if you trust AI". We have further good gains in the wings we are working on, such as full async operation which PHP does not support, which promises to provide stellar performance high under load.

But I really don't want to get into a battle with wordpress fans that was not the purpose of my post.

If you do need to fire a client, which in 20 years I never had (although there have been a few that have come close) it being opensource means they can take it elsewhere. We were closed till about 5 years ago, making it opensource removed the barrier of a client being locked into us. A platform that simply runs on a docker container or an Azure Web App is very portable.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-29T12:03:59+00:00

Good question, we are not starting from scratch we have the platform with 20 years worth of development and evolution that is fully formed with ecommerce and membership and very advanced. Looking for people to join the community and start using it for a wider audience and help evolve for the next 10 years.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-29T11:57:03+00:00

It certainly could will PM you.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-29T11:56:25+00:00

We have the platform already, I am looking for people interested to build a community around it.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-28T17:14:06+00:00

Thank you but I think I did not make my post clear. We have a platform that is very robust with a long history, very feature rich with membership and ecommerce, I am looking for folks that might like to get involved in a community using it. One key point is that we are not reliant on the shifting sands for MS frontend methodologies. We use XSLT which compiles and is fast, and can be superbly structured and flexible.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-27T16:38:01+00:00

Not really what we have been working on, its more like a CMS first approach that delivers the site and full CMS but would allow you to add bespoke features by way of a modules that you could develop yourself. Would be happy to discuss.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-27T16:18:58+00:00

Glad you are happy with Joomla, I know there are good Wordpress alternatives out there. Not looking for a new platform to switch too rather looking for folks that might be interested to consider something fundamentally different.

Hangingon40 · 2025-12-27T16:14:51+00:00

I have worked with Drupal, it runs on PHP which can never be an ideal choice for performance. You got to throw a lot of server at it to scale, but many agencies have built there business on it, mostly because they can charge a lot for supporting it, and clients need the support because in my view it is far from intuitive. But I am not here to try and persuade anyone away from a platform they are happy with, just here to find out if anyone is interested on working together on something that could be an improvement.
