Pot pouri
22 June 2026Well we've made it through the shortest day and now summer is just around the corner.
At least that's the way I try to convince myself that our brightest days are yet to come and things can only get better from here.
From a weather perspective that may not actually be the case this year because, if the media are to be believed, we are on the cusp of a mega-super-gigga-turbo-apocalyptic El Nino that threatens to turn us all to dust.
Yes, as is so often the case in the modern world where everything has to be sensationalised and hyped to the n'th degree in order to sell advertising, we've been warned that the entire planet is plunging headlong into a fiery abyss.
Cue Tui's ad.
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
