Getting that plate out today
This is hopefully the end of the recovery from my cycle accident.
Just realised that means a free couple of hundred grams of weight loss. 😀

A good weekend
I’ve had a pretty good weekend all up. A great dinner at Chez Pierre on Saturday night thanks to Paul, and a nice evening at the Cottesloe Beach Hotel with the primary candidates.
Birthday
Phillip,
This should have been your big 50th. And you aren’t here anymore.
I still miss you.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
That was a fairly painless upgrade to the server. Now running on the 20.04 LTS. Seems to be working as expected. Which is kind of the point really.
So I’ll probably upgrade a few more of the virtual machines soon to get them to the latest LTS. Although I think I have till 2023 to have to do this…
Cookies are fixed
Logging in ok, so I guess that’s fine.
Next step – upgrade server from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS
I guess the question is, do I feel lucky?
🙂
Fixing the cookie problem (again)
Well, its been a bit of a while, but I think I have this one finally fixed.
The problem has been that when I moved to using SSL (ie., encrypting all traffic to and from the site) although I changed the WordPress configuration file (wp-config.php) to the new address (https://veltman.org), the underlying entry in the mySQL database still pointed to the original site (http://veltman.org).
To fix it, I had to change the following table entries:
In the table wp_options:
siteurl https://veltman.org
home https://veltman.org
Both needed modification as they were still pointing at the original http://veltman.org address. This was enough to confuse WordPress at the time of login
ORIF Clavicle
Repeat x-rays following up from my previous injuries.
Still hoping to get the plate and screws taken out later this year.
Difficult times
Its strange. Lots of difficult times at the moment. A good friend in hospital. Another good friend whose father has died over in Sydney. It reminds me of how fragile and special life is. And how fleeting it can be.
I’m thinking of these people now. Wishing them well.
Exercise
Getting back into the gym side of things
Will need to get the plate out sometime – it’s definitely getting in the way a bit.
Cookies
Still having the cookie issues. Obviously I can log in, but it still seems to take a couple of goes. Oh well. Otherwise site working ok
