Current Issues
The site was down for a little after an update to Name Cheap’s CDN. The CDN is still offline so might see some slower loading of images or even need to reload pages. Currently no timeframe for when this will be fixed.
My panorama images hosted on Dermanger are offline. The company has folded with no warning to users. I was always concerned about this happening. Any free platform including the big social media companies are not a secure place to store your media.
Transfer of old posts from Blogger to WordPress remains glacial slow due to my slackness… about 5 remain to be done.
Feedback
Does this site seem hard to read to you? i.e. the colour or fonts? If so can you tell me how it appears to you? I am using black text on a white background, same as books or newspapers but someone once told me the site was too difficult for him to read?
Have you noticed something broken – please let me know!
FAQ
The blog is slow? – You need minimum of 4G or broadband to view this site. 5G or NBN 50 or higher are better. Aussie NBN 25 is borderline too slow for web browsing, shouldn’t even be called broadband. I already have in place a CDN and a professional quality site optimizer and Namecheap’s fastest hosting as well I’ve added extra ram to my hosting so nothing more I can do from this end for now.
How can I download your GPS routes? – A link can be found on the Contact page.
What is your YouTube channel? – I used to shoot video in the 90’s but realised I was mainly trying to entertain other people and never looked at the videos again myself. I’m not trying to entertain anyone now just record my travels and my preference for doing that is photography and written word, i.e. blogging. And frankly in a world where literally everyone is a ‘YouTuber’ busy spamming videos having sold their soul to the algorithm – I rather like that I’m doing my own honest thing here rather than pumping of contrived drivel on YouTube.
