A very cold Tuesday

Welsh class again this morning, continuing to work on the current assessments, firing questions at each other and making notes of the answers. No rain today which makes a welcome change but the weather has become much colder with quite a frost last night.

A new release of the blog software today, quite a few changes to options and plugins, I’ve completed the upgrade and it seems to be working as planned.

The problems with email on my webhost appear to have been resolved, they’ve been undertaking a server upgrade and for several days recently email access has been dreadful. Apparently no emails sent to me have been lost but they have been taking a significant time to arrive, the backlog has now been cleared so fingers crossed!

I’ve also upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2007 on my notebook computer, a tortuous upgrade that probably needs a complete uninstall and reinstall which may sort out the problems. In typical Norton / Symantec style the uninstallation fails, I’ve raised a support query but as my last one went unanswered I’m not holding my breath. I have two months left with my current subscription so the jury’s still out on whether I’ll continue using the product or revert to my previous security products.

Third day of my blog!

Decided to change hosts for my web site, waited in the phone queue for ages to get through to customer services at my current hosting company. At last a person in place of the music! All my queries answered within a couple of minutes. Now to sign up with a new hosting company and start the tedious process of uploading all my files and configuring the new site.

Drove to Newport to the BMW dealer to collect some parts I’d ordered last week, a much more pleasant experience than the previous week when there had been a nasty accident just past junction 28 on the M4 and it took over an hour to get from junction 32 at Cardiff to junction 28 at Tredegar Park.

Had a telephone call to say that the bride who was coming to see me this evening would have to rearrange as her car was in the garage.

I’ve now managed to copy all my files to the new web host, we just need to amend the name server entries and then we’ll be live on our new site – the web site should be continuously available while all this is going on as it will be a major inconvenience to me and my customers if it isn’t!

Had an email from Andrew and Elaine to confirm that they’re happy with their album design and I can go ahead and order the album.

Here’s a small overview of the album design
