This site is compiled with much help from an html literate son

by the (hopefully) still temporary Webmaster, Anthony Luckcuck

the Vicar of St. John's Carlton, Nottingham, England.

 

I know it is a poor weedy thing, but at least it is here for you to read

and may even get updated when I have time. At the moment I manage little more than a weekly erasing of the visitor counter. I promise to add the long desired Visitors Book, but I have no idea when.  Keep looking when you visit......

I have given up being a Deanery (or any other kind of) resource person for ICT because no one uses you.  Apparently they'd rather pay cash money to learn how to use software than get free help....   Maybe I should just have charged? 

In a similar vein I have ceased posting to the Southwell Clergy Mailing list.  It is impossible to contribute constructively to a discussion, when one knows not which of the readers will actually receive your contribution, nor whether any of the contributions made will arrive in their realtime order; it is an empty exercise to answer a posting to which someone else, unbeknown to you, has already responded ! Once, discovering a shortage of local eMail Lists where Clergy could chew things over in peace, I set up one myself especially for them, but it was even less used than the diocesan list, and is now abandoned.  Never mind.  I can still give ICT help to folk who ask privately.

Oddly, it seems that most clergy folk must do things on the Web very slowly, and therefore imagine that all other clergy must be equally tortoise-like.  Hence if one exhibits a web site  and answers eMail more than once a day, one acquires the reputation that one must spend all day in front of a screen instead of doing ‘parish’ work.  The idea, apparently, that one could do stuff at high speed with a computer as well as things on the parish is beyond their ken. 

I used to write scurrilous nonsense, draw, paint, read, collect books, and enjoyed all all the things people say they do on lists like this, as in walking, travel, theatre, singing, and all that.  [Though I have never ever wanted to be a nurse or an air-hostess, though; or to work with children or help people, as they used to say they hoped to do after their year as Miss World. ] Whether I shall wish able to resume any or all of those things since 2007’s long weird illness,  remains to be seen,  for I’ve my hands full catching up with the Parish, planning to improve the church facilities, mending odd clocks and refitting a narrow boat.

There is a formal sort of copyright notice at the foot of this page, but it should be read in a Christian spirit, in this specific sense, that I do not mind at all if anyone wants to use bits of the site, so long as they acknowledge the source, and remember to put all three c's in my name. There are many variants, but ours has been spelt that way since before 1750!
