I’m more pleased than usual to be blogging tonight, not just because of the subject matter. Yesterday I was modifying some of the background settings and managed to do two things. First I locked myself out of the site. Completely. No way to log in, just a dead page and an error code. Then in attempting to sort that out, I knocked the site over completely. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Thankfully everything of importance is backed up, so the panic levels were no more than moderate. I had another look this morning and was able to get the basic site back up (I’d installed an old system file which needed a minor edit to remove a deprecated command). The lesson here is that error codes are really useful things if you bother to read them! It gave me the file and line that was causing the problem. A quick edit sorted it. Tonight I updated a second corrupted file. And Eureka! I was back in business.<\/p>\n

So much for that. I really wasn’t looking forward to re-building from scratch.<\/p>\n

The second reason for wanting to blog today is that I caught a glimpse of our local great spotted woodpecker. It lives at the edge of the car park at work, and is just beginning to get active. I’ve previously photographed its chicks, and with luck I’ll be able to do the same over the coming weeks\/months. These shots are the female, but I’m sure her mate is around.<\/p>\n

\"Great<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Great<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Great<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Great<\/a><\/p>\n

So all told a good day. A working website and a great spotted woodpecker. I can relax again.<\/p>\n
