The past and the future.
On this Saturday's iPM, we'll be marking the 10th anniversary of www.bbc.co.uk with some of the main players who were in at the start. Among the people who'll be reminiscing about those heady early days will be this key figure in the history of the BBC's online service.
But the past is the past - here's a sneak preview of the future:
It's the latest version of the BBC's home page. We've already posted some of the various designs of bbc.co.uk over the years, but this version has not even been officially released.
It's in what is known as its BETA phase, where it's available online - but you have to know it's there. Think of it as a working prototype. The idea of a beta version of a website is that it can be tested by many different people who'll point out any gremlins that can then be ironed out before the full release.

That bit's great, but the rest of the page looks a bit like there's too much screen furniture and not enough content. Still, I'll look forward to seeing it in action.
Oops! Sorry for the comment bombardment. The website was playing up and it looked like my comment hadn't gone in, so I kept hitting Send! :-)
The postcode map show that the house I was in was in the Trent a mile away. Was there a major Earth quake? I tried another which also was around half a mile out. Useless!
