Winter 2010-2011 Vacation Trip 2010-12-03

Friday, December 03, 2010

Friday was another cleanup day. It was the last day for my rental car, so I went downtown to Road Town and did my provisioning as well as picked up some cash for the next week. Since there were two cruise ships in town the traffic in town was pretty slow; not quite gridlock but pretty close to it. Luckily, the lights that they had installed at the main roundabout in town had been removed again so traffic was moving along. The day was somewhat overcast so I used that by doing things on deck, getting the dinghy inflated and into the water and cleaning the decks. The main work on deck still needs to be done and I hope that Vernon, a local specialist, will be able to drop by today and complete the rust treatment of the stainless on deck as well as do a light clean and scrub of the teak. If he isn’t able to come I’ll end up doing that work myself after all.

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.
