Blue Star Logbook

This is a place for Ex-Blue Star Employees and others associated with the Company to post Information, Comments, Stories and Memeories

This new Log Book has been programmed by Jim Blake after my miserable failure to come up with a replacement.
So many thanks to him for all the work he has put in to it. The archives are still at http://www.bluestarline.org/log_book.html and I will link to them shortly.

Good one Fraser and Jim.

Hi all, pleased that the Logbook is back, suffered withdrawal symptoms during its absence, Many thanks to Fraser and Jim, best wishes to all Colin Collier.

Can only repeat Colin's message.
I have found Sea Breezes Magazines in my loft, with the histories of Blue Star Line and Lamport and Holt.
Would there be any interest if I scanned them and forwarded them?

This new look might take a bit of getting used to and I thought Facebook was difficult....and still do. Tom Sommerville

Hi Tom. You are not kidding, it's a lot different to what we had before. Unfortunately, this bulletin board software was the best of a fairly restricted bunch, and its prime virture (apart from being free!) was that it had a lot more configurable options than we needed, so it should be possible to reduce the clutter and simplify the thing. I am hoping to gradually massage it down to a more manageable shape in the next weeks, but was keen to get the "bare bones" working as I know a lot of people use the Log, and would miss it.

You (and indeed all users) could help me by suggesting/requesting/demanding changes: I may not be able to make all of them, but I will know what is liked and what is disliked, and can push things in the right direction (and the first thing is to get the distorted house-flag at the top sorted...you would think a simple thing like that would be easy, but its hidden on the innards of the program )

Cheers

Jim Blake

Hello All again, here is another one who has kept waiting for the Log to re-appear, but it was worth waiting for. I thought I knew my way around a computer but have realised I am still found wanting, but at least I am with it again so let's all enjoy the log and hope many topics surface. Incidentally I am checking my Hips for Iron Filings, not the best of news!!!!!!!!! John Wilmot

Hi Jim,
I don't pretent to know what magic you used to produce this replacement log book but it, in my opion, fills the bill admirably.
Provided there is not a limit on the number of posts under each topic we could have a general topic for chit chat as before and if Fraser or anyone else wishes to highlight a reunion or simply ask a specific question then they can start a new topic exactly as Fraser has done for the Liverpool reunion.
Well that's my thoughts on the subject - I was goimg to suggest that you could have a suggestion topic but having read some of the posts in the old log that maybe dodgy.
Regards,
Hugh Reid
