I’ve just spent an hour or so upgrading the site to use the new Blogsphere 2.5 template, an entirely painless process and well worth while if you’re using Blogsphere if only to get the automated Technorati tags. I had to run a migration on all the blog entries so apologies if that has caused everything …

Server Outage
Apologies for the site being down for the last few hours, Domino was chugging away quite happily but my internet router had crashed, a quick cycle of it’s power supply and things are back to normal.
New Server
After a week of building servers at work, I have spent today building my new home server which hosts (among other things) this site. The old machine which I had been using for a few years finally got too snail-like so I have gone for a new Windows box with Win 2003 server plus Domino …
Sorry for the deluge
For those of you who have this site in your RSS aggregator my apologies for for the deluge of (re) postings. I have just been recategorising a few posts and forgot that they would come through the RSS feed again. So I’ll stop doing that!
A couple of site changes
I have tidied things up a bit on the site this afternoon. Nothing major I just get bored with fonts and colours every few months. I have made a couple of changes to the Blogsphere template including a new page which shows a league table of the most read entries. It’s quite interesting to see …

Well now that Blogsphere has gone "Gold" I have upgraded from the Beta 2 version which has been running here since February. All seems to be OK so far but if you spot any problems please let me know. Well done to Declan, Joe, Chris, Tom, Rocky and all who have worked so hard to …
Offline
The site has been offline for a couple of days. Not having proper remote access the only thing I can think is that Web Booster has crashed. So I have repointed the HTTP server to listen on port 80 and it seems to be OK now. Apologies if the server goes down again in the …
Server Downtime
The server which runs this, 50WordReview and JSTips.net crashed at around 11:30 last night. The perils of running a beta server I’m afraid so please bear with me. Looking at the logs I can’t see a huge amount wrong with the server, it appears that an agent was trying to run an evaluate statement which …
Server upgrade
I finally got around to upgrading this server to Domino 7 Beta 3. All seemed to go remarkably smoothly.
