Suspended, but back again now

Sorry if you've tried to access the site in the last couple of days, and found that it had been suspended. Nothing to worry, laurencepoh.com is still around! Our web host had found that a php script and MySQL database has been using up unusually high amounts of CPU cycles to execute, and I've narrowed it down to the guestbook we had in place for my dad's condolences.

Although I had taken down the link and changed some configuration files, It appears that spammers were still getting in and bloated the database with their junk! I've now deleted it completely and hopefully this solves the problems.

Guest book closed

I have decided to close the guest book as it has been receiving a massive influx of spam entries. Thanks to everybody who has left us messages of condolences. It is amazing to read about how much my dad has affected the lives of people around the world.

Further messages can be sent directed to my mum, Audrey or myself. Thanks.

Thank You

The Poh family wishes to thank everybody for the overwhelming response and support to us through this time of loss. It is amazing to read about how much of an impact Laurence had been to the digiscoping and nature conservation community, worldwide.

Whether you attended the funeral in person or in heart, we thank you all for your kind words and messages left in the guestbook, mailing lists and forums that my father used to participate in, and emails to all of us in the family. We apologise for not being able to answer every single email we receive, but know that it has been read and saved for posterity.

Passing On

Laurence Poh, digiscoper and friend to many, passed away peacefully this morning, 19 September 2004 at 4:30am. He had pancreatic cancer.

LaurencePoh.com returns

After a long absence due to problems with our previous web hosting company, laurencepoh.com is back. Unfortunately we didn't manage to backup the site that was on the old server, so most of the photos are not yet in the gallery and will be uploaded in due time.
