Apologies for a brief partial outage. A combination of mental tiredness, dumb fingers, and a failed VPN experiment from a few weeks ago contributed to a bizarre sequence of events that created a weird ARP resolution problem within my internal network.
I was ready to yell at my stupid ISP – who are normally responsible [...]
I have just made a few minor changes to the site – I noticed late last week that somewhere along the line, some kind of change – (either to a new version of the CMS along the way, or something I have altered) – inadvertently broke the CSS layout in some browsers, notably Internet Explorer [...]
Well, everything seems to be back up and running 100%. There was some bizarre name resolution SNAFU after the re-delegation of my domain to new name servers yesterday.
Special thanks to Paul and the guys at Kilbot for their tireless efforts to get it all sorted out, and I recommend them for anyone looking for [...]
If you find a few broken things on my site this morning, it’s because my “now previous” name services provider broke three of my four domain names overnight. I’ve re-delegated them this morning, but it might take some time for things to propagate fully around the internet, giving a few odd results until such [...]
Just a quick note to announce that, after a few requests, I have added comments to the website. I have chosen to use the Disqus comments system, for easy management. If you are running your own site, I highly recommend Disqus as a decent option for a commenting system.
I thought it was time for a site refresh, so today I uploaded and tested the new theme for my site.
Almost everything has gone off without a hitch – but there are a few things that haven’t quite translated from my testing server, to the live server. So I have a little more tinkering [...]
I’ve recently had some issues with my ISP – (who I plan to move away from, as soon as technical barriers are gone) – and have been having some trouble my all of my websites.
As the first stage of removing the “technical barriers”, I’m currently in the process of re-engineering a couple of backend aspects [...]
You may have noticed that the site was down for a couple of hours yesterday, and when it was back up, that most of the content was missing until this morning.
Well, my fault – I was doing some database maintenance, and inadvertently dropped the entire database. Normally, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Except when [...]
Welcome back to the new-look michaelwyres.com. As much as I wanted to keep running with the content management system (CMS) that I designed and wrote myself, my ever increasing time pressures have hampered my maintenance of the code, and have lead me to move to a commonly available package.
Not all of the old content is [...]
