Are they working? Steve

Hi guys, The site went to rats whatsits while I was in Australia, as many of you noticed. However, I think I’ve discovered why and although I’ve not fixed it I have implemented a work around. Basically the new front page has a nasty memory leak somewhere and as the site gets busier the leak…

Hi all, I am shortly to be installed on an aircraft bound for Australia. Given that’s something of a long haul flight (with a stop in Singapore) I shan’t be around if the site goes down… On Saturday I shall be sleeping I suspect and on Sunday I shall be at a birthday party most…

Apologies and I’ll try to keep it to a minimum. DearDiary itself will move to a new IP address and will no…
