There was going to be a whole new look and feel to the website today, brought on by changing the company who hosted the old pages for years, to a new one which will hopefully be a bit cheaper, but no less reliable. I say was, because after making the change last night, seemingly failing to import the old site via the provided links and starting again to rebuild it, even managing to import the blog text into a single archive page, in the midst of more editing this morning I came to a crashing halt.
The web page demanded I log on again, all last night’s work had vanished and then in the next breath, the old site reappeared! I don’t know whether to laugh or cry! So it’s as you were, but I’ll look at re-jigging things and add a bit more content anyway.
Book production is moving along, all my images have finally gone to the publishers, my captions have had an edit, some of the archive images I wanted to use I’ve had to replace as they weren’t actually copyright to the publishers, whilst a few more they’re trying to find. All this because my new editor wants the book into the design phase, which sounds good to me. I’ve said if possible, I’d like Volume 1 published in time for the next Harrier Engineers Reunion which is in June, so we shall see.
On the camera front and despite my ramblings about weight and lenses and whatever, all the Micro Four Thirds kit has departed once again and I’m all Nikon. The Z fc is so good to use it was always a keeper and the results are noticeably better than the GX9, that it made sense to keep that, have one lens mount to support and keep an eye out for more affordable third party lenses arriving. Should I have kept the GX9 and disposed of the Z5, I’d have laid good odds that I’d have regretted it seconds after I’d handed it over in the post office and been after a replacement.
