Apologies for our down-time
Incompatibility is an issue somewhat at the heart of the analysis on these pages. But incompatibility came back to haunt us on Thursday when an argument developed between an automatically updated software component and the basic system we run. The updated component won and took us off-line.
My apologies for that, and the inordinate amount of time wasted while I looked for a solution in all the wrong places - not, I hope, a characteristic of anything else that goes on here. Anyhow JR resolved the problem within three hours of getting involved, and here we are again.
Thanks for keeping faith with the blog.
