While showing you some photos from one summer not so long ago, I shall be having a business morning this morning, by which I mean, probably no time for creative writing because I have some technical issues. Mainly, my emails. I’ve been having trouble with Outlook over the past couple of weeks. It would open, download the house emails (the Otenet ones), and then freeze. After several frustrating hours trying to get to the bottom of things, it turns out that my Symi Dream and Jackson Marsh sites sit on shared servers, and these no longer support the email addresses attached to the accounts – or something. It’s all to do with not having a dedicated server, and I was thinking about migrating away from the host company anyway. The help centre is outstanding, but if I can’t reply to emails…
So, the news really is that I want to move everything you see here, and everything that’s archived, over to a new company, and I have no idea how to do it. In fact, I want someone at this yet-to-be-found new company to say, ‘Give it here, we’ll do it all for you,’ but that’s unlikely. Therefore, if these pages go dark for any length of time, you will know I lost my websites in the move.
Today, then, I will be searching around for a new host (I already have some suggestions), while seeing to some Jackson publicity, and then later, going for what will probably be a well earned relax sesh at the Sunrise, where there’s to be a quiz. In other news, I am assuming the electricity work is ongoing. We’ve not had a planned power cut for a few days now. I assume also that the boats are back on their timetables after that spell of bad weather, and I have to assume, because I’ve not left the house for a few days. On the upside, though, I am up to 40,000 words of the next mystery, so I’ve not been idle.
