Site upgrade — expect the unexpected (again)

Sometime this week, I’ll be taking the site down briefly to upgrade it to WordPress 2.6. Hopefully it shouldn’t be down too long :)

Update: looks like this is more work than I thought: the site’s theme breaks in the new software. So expect a spiffy new design as well…

Breakage (again)

Sorry about the breakage — it seems that going to Belgium causes this site to die…

Site downtime, Wednesday

Due to upgrades at the hosting company, the site will be down from 10:30pm on Wednesday 24 October for a minimum of six hours.

Upgrades are being done alphabetically by username — unfortunately, we’re at the tail end of the alphabet on that one :)

Everything should be running again by Thursday morning.

Oops

Sorry, all — thought I’d done the diary entries for this month!

Well, THAT took longer than expected

We’re back! Sorry for the extended outage — you’d think domain transfers would be easier, really.

The branch diary for September will appear really soon, honest…

Test post

If you can see this, you’re looking at the new server! We’re running newer versions of the software, which should make things run a bit smoother, with one exception…

You’ll be noticing that some articles are appearing twice. This is due to them being in more than one category — apparently there’s a shiny new bug which means they get listed once per category. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a fix for this soon…

May Trip photo gallery now online

The photos from the May Trip are now up in gallery form. Hopefully at some point in the near future I’ll get around to writing an article explaining what we did :)

Sorry for lack of interior photos — most pubs were too busy to get a decent shot…

Calendars: so nearly there

Just noticed a slight problem with the calendars feed — while the times shown on the site are correct, the times in the feed are off by one hour as the fact that we’re on BST isn’t being picked up. So iCal etc will be showing events as starting one hour later than they already are.

I’ll try and work up a fix for this tomorrow night, although at the end of October the problem will go away by itself for a few months as the clocks will have gone back :)

Update: yay, fixed it. Everything should work correctly now.

Second update: and as soon as I fix it, a new version of the calendar module gets released. The subscription address has been changed in this, so you’ll need to resubscribe. Sorry…

Calendars are working again

Two fixes to calendars:

  • You can now click on dates in the calendar to see the events for that date. One thing to watch out for is that the event will now show the date it was posted in the header — see the actual event text for the date and time of the event
  • After updating the EventCalendar plugin, calendar subscriptions are working once again, so if you use iCal, Google Calendar or similar, then you can copy the location of the subscribe link into your software and it should all Just Work.

Phew! I think that’s everything now.

Sorry if the site has seemed to be a bit slow lately — apparently three of the four servers at the ISP are randomly freezing, which means the last server gets severely overloaded. Hopefully it’ll be better soon.
