2022-12-16 | I am currently trying to become friends with the Google robots. It is no easy task. In my opinion, Google Search Console has a retarded user interface and their indexing services and robots are even more retarded. I've been fighting this battle for a while now and the status of things certainly ain't anywhere near how I'd like it to be. I guess I'll just have to be patient and keep fighting. Maybe Google will stop being retarded at some point. Who knows? | |
2022-11-12 | I've updated the site to .NET 7 Blazor and it went well, with only a few minor issues I could easily fix. I've added a new "Statistics" box to the "Welcome" page. It shows counts for Site Visitors and a "KP says" Top 5 Hits for the Last Month. Visitor numbers are low but that was never the point of this site anyway. It gives me a playground to play around with brand new .NET Blazor features and that's great fun. I may tweak and optimize the "Statistics" box a bit over the next days. We'll see what happens. | |
2022-11-07 | I made a fatal mistake on Friday November 4th. By a sequence of stupidities I managed to delete all data from my production database. My Hosting Provider saved my ass Today for a small fee when they found a database backup that was only 1 day old. I am extremely grateful. Without their backup I could have lost more than 2 months of work. This has once again taught me a lesson. There is NO excuse for not having a recent backup of your data and code. It will NOT happen again. Pfeeew. It's been a long weekend not knowing if there was a cure for my stupidities. Now I can relax again. | |
2022-10-27 | The "Welcome" page works okay for now, maybe I'll add more info boxes to it later... I've been chasing some annoying random errors I found in the log. It's not always easy figuring out why something failed in Blazor, but I hope I've fixed most of the errors now. I've split the photos and videos into dedicated photo and video menus. It makes it a bit easier to navigate them. | |
2022-10-13 | I've released the first experimental version of my new "Welcome" page. I'll probably tweak it a bit and add more content over time. I've improved the search / filter functionality on the "KP says" and "Photos" pages. Hit the "Options" button on the pages to access it. | |
2022-10-07 | I have been improving and fixing all sorts of minor/major things on the site. Most visibly I have begun adding a lot more photos, some are new some are from the archives. I have also made it possible to present some of my videos from my collection of live videos at Vimeo. I will keep on improving the site, I still have plenty of stuff to add, improve, tweak and fix. All things considered though, I am fairly happy now, with how the site looks and works. | |
2022-09-23 | I've been busy since the launch fixing some issues that blew up. It turns out that a Blazor based website vs. the search engines/social networks is a complication I didn't know shit about. I had to rewrite/restructure parts of the internal code but I got there in the end. I have just launched a new version of the site that should work well with e.g. Google and Facebook. I still need a few fixes to get all the way but it should be fairly stable now. | |
2022-09-17 | Today I have launched my new website as a replacement for my old website that had been running for almost 17 years! It was about time to do a complete rewrite on brand new .NET Blazor technology. After a lot of hard work the site is now online. I will be adding more content and functionality along the way and there may still be a few things here and there that need a few adjustments to work as intended. |
