Ah, we’re back! Apologies if you tried to click through to VCTB in the last 24 hours; some unavoidable technical issues meant we had some unscheduled downtime.

Everything seems to be up and running again, so we now return you to our scheduled broadcasts … don’t touch that dial!

Jonathan’s right; you could (and should) laugh. Continue reading “Eastercon Monday: the nature of promises unkept”

Hey there, link-fans.

It looks like del.icio.us is having some issues this evening, namely telling me that I’m trying to hit its servers too often - which makes no sense, because I’ve tried five times in the last hour, and those are the first five times in the last 24 hours. The end result of this fact is that I can’t actually submit any bookmarks this evening, let alone hope they’ll get dumped here later, so we can only hope that I’ll be able to do some sort of marathon upload tomorrow (because I have spare time coming out of my arse, you know).

Just a quick note to the people who visit here primarily for the daily link action (which is most of you, as far as I can tell) - I’d like to apologise for the absence of a link-dump for Thursday 12th October. I went and checked my del.icio.us account, and according to the logs their server couldn’t raise the VCTB server at the relevent time. Since the system only makes one attempt, that means no dump, so sorry for that - hopefully all should be well in future. Bear in mind you can always click through to my del.icio.us account from the little link in the sidebar, and that you can subscribe to it as an RSS feed in its own right …

… b*gger, there goes two-thirds of my subscription base!

Apologies to regular readers are in order, methinks. Continue reading “Oh, the shame! The shame!”
