test, sorry, the notify system needs testing and this is that test

I remember now why I try very hard to avoid moving servers… Apologies for the down time. I received some distressing news regarding the previous server (notably the OS on which it was running was no longer being supported, and thus security updates and patches would not be coming out any longer) and was advised…

It appears that entries by e-mail posting facility is experiencing some random crashes and causing posts not to be sent until the service is restarted. I shall look into what’s happening and give feedback as soon as I know more about what it’s up to. Apologies for the inconvenience. Steve. powered by performancing firefox

The changes I’ve made seem to have eased the ISE’s, but not eradicated them completely. Someone in a comment yesterday noted that it only seems to happen on the diaries that have a lot of entries. This would make sense because the system is dragging various details of every entry a diarist has written in…

After it was pointed out to me that it wasn’t working, this is a test to see if it now is…

Hi all, I am presently working on eradicating this wretched internal server error once and for all. Hopefully. However, it means the service will be patchy because in order to do that I need to be recompiling some key services and making mucho changes, then running them up, seeing where they crash using debugging tools…

Oh dear. What can I say? Someone has too much time on their hands it would appear. Well, I will find out who you are and I will be billing you for my time to delete your diaries, and for updating the code to make it easier for me in future to delete you. You…
