No Sunday photo: tech problems

No photos this week due to technical problems.

This site was displaying all wrong on both my home and work laptops, with all the formatting completely broken and no images appearing at all. I spent a lot of time trying to uncover the crucial difference between this site and https://lapalma-island.com which runs the same WordPress theme. It took me ten days to find out that the problem wasn’t the website at all. It was my browser. I just needed to clear the cache.

I’ve been busy writing articles on Medium.com. You can read three articles each month for free, or become a member for $5/month.

In other happy news, I’m booked to be a tour guide at the Roque on Friday, for the first time in a year. I still can’t take anybody inside a telescope, so I have to get creative, but the customer says that’s OK. I’m quite excited.
