I reckon that there wasn&#8217;t anyone as surprised as me.<\/p>\n<p>As a result we had an early breakfast and then I was able to start work.<\/p>\n<p>First thing that I did was to attack yet more of the updating of the site, but I came to a shuddering halt when I received a reply to a communication that I had sent out earlier.<\/p>\n<p>And as a result of that, you might notice a slight change in the functionality of the websites, because I&#8217;ve now changed server. Both my sites are now running on a pair of quicker more streamlined servers and that should improve things around here quite substantially.<\/p>\n<p>However, this led to a puzzled bewilderment as to why some of the functions of my site weren&#8217;t working on the new Secured *https* Site.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really my first foray into the realm of secured sites so it had me stumped for a while. So I left it and went for a walk instead.<\/p>\n<p>Down into town for a pizza base, a baguette (on special offer), some potatoes and some quinoa and red lentils, seeing as to my surprise, the Carrefour supermarket is now selling them loose on a self-weigh thingy.<\/p>\n<p>Just as I was about to reach home, Rosemary rang me up, so we had a chat for an hour or so about this and that.<\/p>\n<p>This meant a late lunch, which I took indoors seeing as it was grey and miserable outside today.<\/p>\n<p>So grey and miserable in fact that I&#8217;ve turned on the heating today. First of the winter, that is. And it&#8217;s no surprise.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, I did some research and found out why some of the functions weren&#8217;t working on an *https* site.<\/p>\n<p>These are facilities that rely on a coding function called *iframes* where you can put a &#8220;hole&#8221; in your website, filled in with a piece of code that enables a third party such as an advertiser to insert his own text into the *hole*.<\/p>\n<p>The whole idea of secured sites is <em>inter alia<\/em> that no-one outside can have a free ride on your website, so the *iframes* function is disabled.<\/p>\n<p>As a result I&#8217;ve had to dredge up what I can vaguely remember from working in Javascript 12 years ago, and I was surprised how much I can remember.<\/p>\n<p>So firstly, you&#8217;ll notice a little &#8220;contact me&#8221; button in yellow in the bottom right corner of your screen. If you want to report a coding issue with the site, a broken link or else merely say &#8220;hello&#8221;, click o the button and you&#8217;ll see a message box pop up.<\/p>\n<p>And much to my surprise, it even works too!<\/p>\n<p>From then on, I&#8217;ve redesigned the sidebar on the secured http:\/\/www.erichall.eu website. If you compare the left-hand sidebar on, say, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/2010c140.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THIS PAGE<\/a> with the left-hand sidebar on, say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erichall.eu\/vans02.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">THIS ONE<\/a>, you should notice something of a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;m slowly working up from the bottom of the list, and that&#8217;s going to take me an age, I&#8217;ll promise you that.<\/p>\n<p>Extracting more files off the new travel laptop was another project that needed doing. Piles of them, there were, including all of the music that I had downloaded. That&#8217;s going to need converting to *.mp3 format one of these days too, although I&#8217;m not quite sure when.<\/p>\n<p>In between all of that, I&#8217;ve had a few extended sessions on the guitars. I&#8217;m now working on 7 songs on the acoustic guitar right now and that will keep me going for a while.<\/p>\n<p>As well as that, I&#8217;ve had my two afternoon walks and made my tea &#8211; a delicious pizza and <em>ohh me miseram<\/em> &#8230; <em>&#8220;well, puer amat mensam!&#8221; &#8211; ed<\/em> &#8230; I&#8217;m running out of vegan cheese. It&#8217;s not that I forgot to buy any in Leuven, it&#8217;s just that I didn&#8217;t have the means to carry it.<\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m off to bed. And I reckon that I deserve it too. I&#8217;ve had a long, hard day today as you can tell and tomorrow, I&#8217;ll be having a good long walk out to LIDL and all points east.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d better hurry up with my beauty sleep.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-12720 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='12720' data-nonce='28e17601b5' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-12720 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-12720 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='12720' data-nonce='28e17601b5' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-12720 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-12720 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; a very busy boy today and no mistake!
