Summer 2010 Vacation Trip 2010-05-11

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

This day was a slow and relaxing one. I needed to replace the starter battery (the one buried at the bottom of my stack of batteries) and the two batteries up front for the bow thruster and windlass so we purchased those at Island Waterworld, then picked up my dive gear in Palapa and finally we got Björn’s new glasses and that was pretty much it for the day. The afternoon was spent installing the gear and doing chores aboard the boat. By 6pm it was “Happy Hour” and Bruce came by for a couple of drinks before Björn and I headed up to Grand Case by car for dinner. The restaurant I chose was good, but not spectacular but it was a tasty meal nonetheless and by 11pm I was dead to the world in bed.

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.
