Summer 2010 Vacation Trip 2010-05-10

Monday, May 10, 2010

This was another shopping day, after breakfast at La Sucrière Bruce joined us and we drove around the shopping hot spots in air-conditioned comfort. From Doyle sails to Island Waterworld to Budget Marine and thence to Philipsburg to find an optician for Björn and to the electronics store there. Then back to Simpson Baie and the dive shop at Palapa (where I bought a new BCD and regulators) and from there all the way north to get coffee pods north of Grand Case. I still need to go back to Island Waterworld today to get the rest of the boat supplies but then I’m finished again and can stop wearing out the credit card, and hopefully move on to places where I can make some nice pictures and laze in the Caribbean sunshine.

Original hosting provider breaks my old website

My old hosting company, who will remain unnamed although their name starts with “go” and the end rhymes with “baddy”, changed their software with little notice and the original SV-ZANSHIN.COM site stopped working overnight.

Every. Single. Page.

So I’ve transitioned to another provider. These original pages have been migrated, but all the formatting and other features are gone and the will still contain numerous display issues and formatting anomalies.

The manual effort of conversion is too much and not worth the effort involved. Over 1000 blog diary pages like this one are going to remain in this condition. The pictures are full-scale, but won’t expand when clicked. But you can can copy them to view them in their original splendour.
