This blog is now five thousand entries old.
No candles, no cake, and absolutely no singing.
The fifth thousand took almost an year to achieve (the previous milestone was reached on 11.9.2009).
Seriously delayed housekeeping, part n.
The old-school archives should now be available. As well as the old pictures.
The RSS feed of this blog has been broken in google reader for a long while. The first entry gets excerpted, the later bits in the feed get their titles shown.
No idea why.
This has happened a couple of times before, but the latest symptoms were present for a long time indeed.
Things seem to have improved since the update to new server / WP 3.0 / whatever.
I didn’t sacrifice any black chickens during a full moon or twiddle with any relevant knobs, so this is was unexpected.
Sorry about the downtime and the rather primitive looks.
Updated to a new server (within louhi.net).
And things went haywire.
All the posts and comments should be present.
Images will be restored in short order.
And the theme and widgets later on.
Testing testing testing.
This is the first entry in this blog written using an iPad.
Writing is not too bad, though obviously slow-ish and error-prone.
For one reason or the other, Google Reader is having issues with the blog’s feed once again.
All the entries are present, but for some reason only the first one is rendered, and even that in a very abbreviated fashion.
This has happened before, and been rectified miraculously.
The current bout seems to be quite a bit more persistent.
April, according to the statistics, was a profoundly lazy blogging month here.
The reasons are many (the trip, the flu, the metric assload of things to do at work), and the goal definitely towards more entries in May.
Was in Japan.
Had plenty to see and do.
Blogging was not on top of the agenda.
Especially with the less than ubiquitous connectivity.
I’ll put up a long and rambling travelogue in the next days. With plenty of pretty pictures.
Here’s the first sample, a blossoming cherry tree in Osaka.
Uh, in all the excitement and hubbub the sixth birthday of this blog was quietly forgotten.
No big changes here. There was plenty in the everyday life, anyway.
No blog lately. Lack of inspiration and time is the main reason.
Fingerpori helps.
This comic strip from last saturday epitomizes what is good in Pertti Jarla’s masterpiece.
A dual topic under a single title:
Regular service will be resumed in a couple of days.
No internet in Nöykkiö (apart from N900).
Plenty of things to empty, move, clean and organize.
Plenty to do at work.
Hence the very slow trickle of updates.
Even the move went unblogged. Mainly on account of being a) sick as a pig and b) plenty of things to do.
Lowest blogging activity in ages, but time was very short for decent reasons:
Hence missed out on a lot of the usual suspects here. The arrival of N900 was tackled with a single entry – considering the device’s power, we’re overdue a much better exposé. Hakkapeliitat is doing decent on the gridiron – weekly updates will return at some point. Photography challenges were mostly recycling old entries. No good.
Hopefully this November will be a bit more quiet.
On account of the impending move, I have a good hunch that it isn’t.
Testing administration & posting with N900.
Works. And is quite pleasant.
Long weekend working (Maemo Summit in Amsterdam), a stubborn flu and the latest phases in Projekt Lebensraum 2.0 have kept me away from blogging.
Regular service will resume soon.
Yesterday brought in a record number of visitors to the blog.
Or actually hits on a single image.
Whereas the blog regularly gets around four thousand hits a day, yesterday’s crop was 250000. Yes, sports fans, that’s a quarter of a million.
The reason: the leeched Metallica logo in a facebook application that is apparently very popular in spanish-speaking countries.
An e-mail exchange with the author of the rectified the situation quickly, and the attention has dwindled ever since the link was removed.
This blog is now four thousand entries old.
The fourth thousand took some nine months to achieve (3k milestone was celebrated in last December).
As previously: no party and no cake (and I’m out of Caledonian IPA anyway for today).
