    (Original BC grips guide)

    The new grips guide is now part of a larger project: I intend to create a comprehensive website guide to badminton. The main focus of the website will be technique articles, but there will also be articles on other subjects such as the laws.

    The site will be launched when the grips guide is finished. I may also have one or two small, supporting articles by then (I don't want to look like a one-trick pony ;)).

    I have some ideas for expanding this in the future, but I'm keeping them secret for now ;) How much I expand the site will depend on its success.

    This decision has necessitated a redesign of my webpages. I'm nearly done with that, so you may see another technology demo in the not-too-distant future.

    This time I can keep the demo up (in nomine jerby et alia ;)), because I have my own webspace.

    Now that the web design is mostly done, I've been writing more content. The fundamental grips are written, the intro stuff is written, and several of the more detailed pages are written. This is going to be much more detailed than the previous article. I've tried to organise the pages so that readers can learn in a modular way, one bit at a time -- or just read the whole lot in an orgy of grips :D

    I'm still holding off taking the pictures, because as I write, I get more ideas about what pictures I need.

    Once again, my apologies for the massive delay on the guide. It's almost as bad as my novel in that respect :D

    I think it means he wants you and your mates to do it.

    Yes. Literally, "in the name of Jerby, and others".

    That's the best I could do with fragments of pidgin-Latin.

    good enough for me, all I was taught in my (2years of) latin class was to translate from latin....not to latin, so I find it quite astonishing you can actually get that far ;)

    except for my teacher, she was as old as the language and coudl litterally speka it fluently...scary women..
