While I somehow woke up at 07:30 I really shouldn’t have and I do feel that lack of energy that accompanies too much imbibing and too little sleep. Luckily I did have some aspirin in the cupboard and then worked on this web site for while (the thumbnail pictures were all too large and needed compression in order to load faster, and I did some internal changes with cascading style sheets and javascript files to compress them and make them load faster. There are still some other things that I can do in order to speed up the site, but I’ll need a clearer head before attacking those projects. The rest of the afternoon was productive for this web site, but all I managed to do on the boat was print out 2 labels for Peli cases containing my private things. Instead of making dinner aboard I joined Paul of Tangaroa for a meal at Saba Rock (which was much quieter and one could see that the staff was tired from the previous day’s onslaught and relief at the light workload on the staff’s faces) and a quiet evening.

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.
