I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

The ex-Beatle is reported to be losing his battle against cancer and knows that he will soon dieGeorge Harrison is reported to be losing his battle against cancer. He is expecting to die soon.

The Sun newspaper quotes the ex-Beatle's former producer and friend Sir George Martin as saying, "George has an indomitable spirit but he knows he is going to die soon and he is accepting that. He is very philosophical. He has been near death many times and he's been rescued many times as well."

Earlier this year the 58-year old underwent treatment for lung cancer and a brain tumour. In 1998 he beat throat cancer and survived a knife attack the following year.
