My back-backbloggery

By Harry Milonas | May 27, 2009

Awesome!

My blog has, much like Arnold Schwarzenegger, returned! Many cheers to Messrs Adrian and Adrian of the IT department for their time in bringing it back from the dead.

You wouldn’t know it, but going a week without access to these dedicated student spaces does make one feel left out of the loop. Of the Transient Spaces community. As it were.

Not so awesome…

While not completely confirmed at this stage, my last blog post dated May 20 (centred around the globalisation readings of Week 10, and how they apply to my own neighbourhood, Coburg) has seemingly been permanently lost in the recovery process. Argh!

That’ll teach me for putting too much effort and research into my blog, I suppose. Ho hum.

Bothersome headaches

I currently cannot publish, save drafts, or update my posts without an unsightly error page greeting me. As such, previewing is also now completely impossible.

While these bugs are not insurmountable, they’re nevertheless extremely cumbersome to work around each and every time I make even the smallest addition/change to my blog.

Self hurdle +1

I’ll have to further bug the IT department about these problems (sorry guys!). As there’s no guarantee these issues will be fixed by the blog assessment deadline — along with having the last week’s worth of course content to catch up on — my personal challenge just got that much more… personally challenging.

    Looks like comments work…

    I’m having the same troubles. Have you contacted IT about it yet?
