Beaten By Technology

There seems little point in carrying on with this blog when the pages take about two days to load and the web hosting company cannot be bothered to correct the problem.

It is time to start looking at free blog hosting.

Tip: never use anything which requires a database unless you are prepared to run your own server. Everything grinds to a halt.

‘Generations’

You are like the stem
Of a young beech-tree,
Straight and swaying,
Breaking out in golden leaves.
Your walk is like the blowing of a beech-tree
On a hill.
Your voice is like leaves
Softly struck upon by a South wind.
Your shadow is no shadow, but a scattered sunshine;
And at night you pull the sky down to you
And hood yourself in stars.

But I am like a great oak under a cloudy sky,
Watching a stripling beech grow up at my feet.

Amy Lowell

It is not exactly that things are dead or dying here.

They are not exactly fizzing with life, either.

Changes are being made and it seems to take time to get things done, not helped by persistent server problems.

Is it a bird, is it a plane?

It could be a phoenix or it could be an R101.

Time will tell.

Obtuse enough?
