Default Slight change to Sscots Guide address

This is just to update people wrt my old "Scots Guide to Electronics"
website which does contain some audio related material.

The Uni has recently made some changes to their website and an 'old'
version of the address no longer works.

Their used to be two top level URLs, but now only the 'full name' version
works which is now.

https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa...o/electron.htm

(an http: URL also works, but responds as https.

The old short-name version now doesn't work.

If they own the domain could it not be aliased?

The 'own' both domains but have made this decision for their own reasons.
It seems to be joined to a change to https. I haven't worked for the Uni
for years, so have no involvement beyond them continuing to host the pages
I built there.

They are still in the process making changes. e.g. finding links on other
uni pages which the alterations thus far have broken.

^^^^^

Sorry to butt in like this, just to point out a simple spelling mistake,
but I felt impelled to congratulate you on "Bucking the trend" or "Going
against the flow".

I'm so heartily sick of seeing that "common as muck" "Their - There"
spelling error[1] that catching sight of this one made such a nice
refreshing change that I thought it more than worthy of a congratulatory
note. :-)

[1] The usual switch between 'their' and 'there' suggests a slapdash
attitude in the author's writing 'style'. The 'other way round' in this
case suggests a bit of 'over-thinking' on your part suggesting that you
were giving the task of writing this missive the thought it deserved ("If
a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well." sort of thing).

:-)))

Every time I visit the UK I am surprised by the way the English
language is changing. "You did good" sets my teeth on edge,
but seems to be common parlance. If you mistakenly say
"with whom" instead of "who with" people look at you as if
you have justed landed from Mars!

Anyone living overseas who watches BBC World and
Sky News cannot fail to have noticed the large proportion of
Scottish news readers and interviewers. Are they the last people
left who can speak proper English ? :-))

A Swedish friend asked me, "Why do the English seem so
intent on abusing their own language?"

Tut tut! Everone knows it should be, "You dun good".

I regret to inform people that I've lived in Scotland for 30+ years. So
your hopes may be dashed. Alternatively, all the Aberdonians may have
migrated south.
