Just a test

March 3rd, 2023 · Comments Off on Just a test · Technology

I did that thing you should never do the other day. I tried to fix a trivial error by tweaking settings a bit, without backing the site up first and broke it. At my age I should know better. Broke it to the extent that I had to ask for everything to be restored from […]

Upgrade time

October 9th, 2022 · Comments Off on Upgrade time · Technology

So. The place where I host all this is upgrading the version of php and this site was not compatible with the new version of php. My fault for not touching anything for ages: I had an ancient version of WordPress and some ancient and problematic plugins and themes installed. At the moment I can […]

Ping!

October 8th, 2022 · Comments Off on Ping! · Life

It looks like I have not posted anything here for 8 months, because I really haven’t posted anything here for 8 months. Maybe this is a sign that the new job I started back in February is a lot more demanding of my time and attention span than the old job. Or maybe I just […]

Baby Got Back

August 23rd, 2011 · Comments Off on Baby Got Back · Technology

Strap in and brace yourself, because this could get boring very quickly. Keen-eyed regular readers will have noticed the unavailablility of this site for a few days and wondered whether it was the latest victim of Anonymous or Lulzsec or a Tory conspiracy. Nothing so exciting: just technical problems. I won’t describe the problems in […]

Another test

I’m not saying the first test didn’t work – it just didn’t work as much as I had hoped.

Testing

August 22nd, 2011 · Comments Off on Testing · Life

I think everything is back, at least as much as I can restore. This is by way of a test to check everything is working going forwards.
