As announced earlier the DM website, www.digitalmedievalist.org, was taken down today for some essential maintenance. Only minor complications were encountered in what was a long overdue set of upgrades through 4 operating system versions, and I believe these have been resolved. It is hoped that this upgrade will solve a driver mismatch problem that was causing occasional downtime when the virtual machine would fail to restart properly whenever the VM servers at University of Lethbridge had a problem which necessitated their own restart. Simultaneous to the multiple upgrades, some other underlying changes (hopefully invisible) were made which will allow further development of our journal production workflow.
If you notice any problems with the site feel free to email either myself or tech@digitalmedievalist.org.
Apologies for any inconvenience,
James Cummings
Hi James,
Thanks so much for taking care of this!
When I click "post news" on the front page (to add a new news item to the feed), I get an xml source file. This is on IE, on a public computer in the library, so I can't tell if this is IE specific.
Thanks, Dot

I would also like to thank James very much for his great work on the DM site over the life of the project and especially since the rewrite of the site. I sometimes think it is too bad that not everybody can see his wonderful backend ;)

Thanks Dan, always good to be appreciated. I'm of course happy to talk about how the site works (and keep meaning to document it in the DM wiki), if anyone is ever interested.
I am of course only a bit worried that you like my backend. ;-)

Well we do have the pictures from the first DM organisational meeting in Roberto's pool. Or what my children point out to their friends as "Daddy's meeting with the waterguns."
