All kinds of things have conspired to delay work on the various projects here. It started with a lack of access to the site, followed by the catastrophic failure of cream, the server. The new dedicated server is solero and seems to be bedding down nicely.

The most recent confounding issue to delay my projects however, has been the rather unpleasant murder of two people in the flat above my local sandwich shop. I'm rather fond of the shop in particular, the choice is wide and the prices very good, but obviously with the police cordonning off the area, and the forensics people all over it, and then the need to thoroughly clean the place to keep the public happy, the shop has been closed for two weeks and will likely still be closed until the new year. Now I have to go much further abroad to get my sandwiches which leaves a lot less play-time around lunch.

I hope the shop gets back on its feet in the new year. I can imagine it will take quite a while to get its customers back after they have been forced to find alternate foraging grounds.
