Easy times
Taking chances – but it IS very quiet. On the VMS front, that is. Except for the usual – some SPAM (and another address I should allow) and the few that try to promote their sites over the forum. The latter are removed – as usual.
On the Windows front however, there’s more concern about stability. Or better – lack of it. On Aphrodite, the video card’s fan is working overtime on startup, and has to be slowed down by resetting it’s settings each time the system is booted, and once downloaded and installed patches keep re-appearing and must be set to “hidden” explicitly. Microsoft is aware of the problem (I hope) but a solution has not been issued so far. On Demeter, the wireless is now working without extra cards, it required a setting of the access point to be chnaged but that’s not a big problem. The stability of Windows is not as it should be (and has been), especiaslly if the laptop has been in standby-mode for hours: It simply won’t shutdown normaly.
But for the rest – it’s easy going. Hope it’ll stay that way
Redesigning the site
I now have a failry strong idea how the web should look like, in structure, that is. It requires quite a lot of pages be re-created: All holiday picture albums, for instance, will be moved. But that takes time – a lot of time.
Something’s wrong
with the WordPress management pages: I’m missing crucial parts: Excerpt, upload and so on. There seems to be a syntax error somewhere….
