Two updates
VERY simple, VERY important: Licenses….
Ten days ago, my VMS hobbyist licenses would expire and I requested new ones a week in advance. Within a day, I got the new ones, valid until 1-Sep-2014. These were installed well in time, so nothing stops me using the system for another year. The other important license is not a requirement to run the system – I can do almost all without. But since removing spam is not the most exciting work, it would be nice if the spam filter (that does a VERY GOOD job in keeping the system clear) would run. So I asked for a renewal some time ago, but things were hectic at Process.com. This can happen,of course, no big deal since tonight I received the new PAK from Hunter Goatley – and installed it. One day before it expires….
Content management
There is a lot of work to be done outside the system and all what’s related, so work on the web content is slow in progress. The original set of images would exceed the capacity of the disk – by many Gbs, so I had to convert all images to a higher compression rate: one at a time as the software I intended to use could not be installed….:( . But now it takes just over 2 Gb which is well within range. I already created an (uncommented) album, and at the moment I’m halfway the preparation of comments for the final one.
I will have to move all images to another disk, and find a way to prevent a lot of changes in the blog. I may even re-write the whole lot into a VWCMS site.
Time will tell.
