Lunch has been some leftovers, accompanied by some thing called Outback Truckers in which Australians drive lorries

The last few hours have been spent digging through the post import stuff for the new forum software. Once I’d investigated it thoroughly, it turned out not to be too complicated now I’ve got the threads sorted out

However, I also uncovered a problem with some threads, which seem to have become orphaned around the time we did the vBulletin “upgrade” to version 5. Not sure how that happened; there’s nothing obvious that they have in common. There are 104 of them, and now I have to work out how to get them back in their rightful places

Ah! Mystery solved

I found a DB dump from before the “upgrade” and used that to work out where one of the threads ought to be - and it turned out it had been merged with another thread! When I tried to visit it here on the live site, I was redirected to the appropriate point in that thread instead. So I now believe that the apparently-detached threads are just leftovers from merged threads, and haven’t been lost at all

I now need to check whether those redirects will continue to work, but I think that’s dealt with later in the migration, and they'll be a lot easier to fix up even if they aren’t and I have to do it myself

What about that Zeity thread that no one could open? Just askin' for a friend, like. .

The drives to/from Sussex were smooth and uneventful. Mum was quite chipper.

On returning home, I secured what I consider to be a good parking spot. No trees and easy to get out of.

The bed has been made and the smalls put away.

I’ll have a look

Tea has been sausage and mash with onion gravy

And this was accompanied by the rest of the episode of Police Interceptors I started watching the other evening; and with that watched, I’m out of new episodes of that

There was a bit of wildlife stuff on around teatime

Tonight, I resumed The Three-Body Problem, in which it appears theoretical physics is in trouble

Monday again tomorrow. Four weeks until Easter

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

It’s foggy! Not even a bit misty, but a fairly decent fog

It’s also 7°C, again, with an expected high of 12°, again. The barometers are down a little at 1007/1015mB. And it seems the cloud might clear a bit towards sunset

Morning all
Misty out on our walk, but we met a couple from the next village who always bring dog treats with them in case they bump into Max. Apart from that and almost being run over by the recycling lorry, it's been an uneventful Monday morning.
