So I noticed that I was getting link back from isolani to a post here on Very True Things about the shortcomings of a certain site checking tool.

And that made me think “hmm, I haven’t had any of the automated messages from that site recently”. So I just tried to login. Failed. Try again. Failed. Try the forgotten password tool. “E-mail address not recognised”.

Sneaky, cowardly, gits. Couldn’t take a bit of criticism so deleted my account without even informing me?

Or maybe I’m being a bit hasty, maybe they just had a clear out of free accounts. Maybe my e-mail bounced once and they deactivated the account after that. Maybe they’ve taken their service offline to improve it. Maybe.

This morning I got on the wrong train. I have never done that on the way to work before, and I’ve only done it twice on the way home (and drink was definitely involved in one of those cases). So I was heading towards Victoria rather than London Bridge, and having a plain return season ticket rather than a travelcard I couldn’t jump off at Balham and hop on the Northern Line. So I jumped off at Balham and waited for the next train to London Bridge, which was late and even if it hadn’t been late would have gone back through West Norwood half an hour after I left.

My web server has been up and down, but mostly down, all day. I think that one of this weekend’s jobs will include taking a complete backup of everything.

For some reason I bought another issue of .net magazine. This one comes with a free CSS reference poster. The credits for which read:

The poster is indeed a version of the w3schools CSS chart which explains why it’s not very good, ‘cos w3schools aren’t very good. w3schools are also nothing whatsoever to do with the W3C. Whoops.
