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.

Happy New Year – Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i chi i gyd

I haven’t posted for a little while, decided to take a couple of weeks break over Christmas.

Upgraded the software on the main server just before Christmas following the rebuild after the mother board failure, it’s now running Suse Linux 10.2 and is performing very well. Following the upgrade to BT Total Broadband we’re getting much better download and upload speeds which certainly helps with uploading galleries to our web site and sending images to the lab for printing. I upgraded my blog software this morning to the latest version which was released a few hours ago, everything seems to be working well and a much smoother upgrade process than previous updates.

We’re quite busy again at the moment, it’s one of those times of the year when we’re handling a number of bookings for new weddings, I really enjoy meeting with new couples and finding out their plans for their special day.

I’ve also nearly competed my tax return so should be ready to submit it on-line next week ahead of the end of month cut off date, luckily my accounts are fully computerised so it’s largely a manual transfer of information from my accounts to the tax return with some manual calculations, fortunately the Tax Calc software carries out a check on the details entered and performs all those tedious tax calculations, it’s excellent value at around £20 for each new release and saves me several hours of work.
