This one is a little different. It's the view out the front of our motorhome. While we are at home, it's a static view of the end of our driveway, but when we are on the road, it updates every 30 minutes of daylight time in Australia & uploads via a Broadband Wireless gateway.

Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Errors installing XP Home Edition.

I have actually solved this one, but I thought I'd share the drama anyway. Might even help someone else too.
A friend's laptop was producing some very obscure errors. After a bit of stuffing around, I decided to re-install Windows. Dug out my generic OEM XP Home CD & forged ahead. As has happened to me on previous occasions, the install process would randomly report that it couldn't copy a file. The end result was that the install was corrupted & wouldn't behave. For example, it wanted to be authenticated before I could even log in & it had skipped the bit where I could nominate the login name(s).
Then I noticed a post in one of the many forums that often bad RAM can make other components appear to be corrupted. Swapped out all but one RAM stick & suddenly, everything started installing & working as it should.
Wish I'd though of that in the first place, as I had only just put new RAM in that machine.

No-one has suggested WordPress yet? You have the languages as categories & publish each static "article" once in each category. I ran up a sample site for a friend recently in a few hours using the Atahualpa theme & fell in love with it, once you get used how it works, it's so easy to customise & is fully variable width.
Your solution doesn't have to be complicated. And it can be free, except for the hosting. And you should be able to do it yourself.

Now if I could just throw in AFL (Australian Rules Football), Rugby Union, Rugby League. American Gridiron, 7-a-side Soccer, 3x3 Junior Soccer & the funny one that Australia plays against Ireland every year, called International Football, we'd have a REAL discussion. Heh heh.
