Today was a very busy day. I started shortly before 7am and went to the laundry in order to get there before the lady who tends to control it during the day and doesn’t allow private use of the coin-operated machines. Unfortunately there was some sort of a problem with the water supply and it took close to 30 minutes for the water to trickle into the machine but on the fortunate side the machine didn’t count down the timer while the water filled to container. After getting my two loads cleaned and dried I took them back to the boat in order to store them. The generator has been repaired and the repairmen spent from 9am through to 1am getting it reinstalled and re-wired; but they were not able to complete the job prior to the boat getting hauled out.

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.
