My code uses the deflate module, alternately you could try this:

<ifModule mod_gzip.c>
mod_gzip_on Yes
mod_gzip_dechunk Yes
mod_gzip_item_include file .(html?|txt|css|js|php|pl)$
mod_gzip_item_include handler ^cgi-script$
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^text/.*
mod_gzip_item_include mime ^application/x-javascript.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude mime ^image/.*
mod_gzip_item_exclude rspheader ^Content-Encoding:.*gzip.*
</ifModule>

but if that doesn't work either, then your hosting provider has not activated either of the modules. You may be able to request that they activate them otherwise there is a way to use a php script to do the gzipping for you but the processing overhead my well negate any performance benefit that you get from serving gzipped content.

Ah yes, that would do it. Glad you worked it out, I was starting to wonder if I\'d missed something.

It was working for me in Firefox and IE, I'll need to re-test it to see if I can find the problem.

That's rather nice, though the fact that it's not connected to any media-query controlled stylesheets means that you need to replicate the media queries in the code. However the separation means that you have greater flexibility in creating screen/page size based behaviours.

Yeah, maybe we can try it out when it's ready, I don't know if it can compete with Galcon for pace, most of those games were over within a couple of minutes; perfect coffee-break gaming.

Next steps are to get it hooked up to a back-end so that people can play it from different devices and I've got a 3D WebGL interface in it's early stages. I've also got the rule-set plugin architecture working, so I'll make a few variants of the game available when I get time.

From now on, I intend to call the LHC - "The Max Headroom Collider" :)

You wouldn't be biased in any way here would you?
I'm going out on a limb and making some assumptions here:

1. You don't have any data to prove your assertion that SolidShops is "more robust and user friendly".
2. SolidShops is a Rails app - based on the screenshots only. The majority of first iteration Rails apps look like 37 Signals products (oh yes I did just make that sweeping generalisation - sorry Rails devs but you know it's true).

and here comes the Scooby-Doo moment...

3. You are in fact the "Dries" listed on the SolidShops Team page as the back-end developer of the product.

If my Poirot-like detective skills are as sharp as I hope, I don't have a problem with you promoting your product here - just be honest about it. Send me a message asking me to review the product or you could write a guest post, I've got a draft set of guidelines for guest posts that you can take a peek at.

Image uploads for contact details has now been added, as has Logo upload for the PressRoom and release headers.
Also defaulted the url fields to contain "http://" as a reminder, I'll add url validation to our things-to-do roadmap.

The related links require the http:// part of the link to be included. I've made a note to handle this automatically as a future update but for now you will need to enter related links as http://www.google.com rather than www.google.com

Images on contacts will be added very soon, it's an outstanding piece of work which wont take long to implement.

You will need to speak to Bill about the changing the default stylesheets for the pressroom. I'm currently working out a system to make changing the basic style rules easier.
