/12 JAN 10/ We are on time and under budget. Today we are pointing the nameservers to our new yard so things may be rocky for the next 24-72 hours.

/30 DEC 09 - 15 JAN 10/ PLEASE NOTE: Today we begin the process of migrating the hobotrain network’s switching operations to a new, state-of-the-art yard. We anticipate that this process will be completed in about two weeks. Existing access privileges for all hobotrain network sites, including protected sites, will be maintained during this major, not entirely thought out transition. Existing login credentials will remain viable. To maintain the integrity of hobotrain network databases, commenting is temporarily disabled. More at change_log//.local…

I wanted to mention the word frequency cloud here. If you are not using Safari or other WebKit based browser (OmniWeb, iCab), then another way to navigate this site is to type the command cloud at the flashing prompt. It’s not really a tag cloud because rather than limiting itself to selected words and phrases, it includes all of the words that have been deployed three or more times in the site’s text.

End.

Last night I was so happy to see net/network validate that I overlooked the warning which accompanied the test results:

Info: No Character encoding declared at document level

No character encoding information was found within the document, either in an HTML meta element or an XML declaration. It is often recommended to declare the character encoding in the document itself, especially if there is a chance that the document will be read from or saved to disk, CD, etc.

There I may have my explanation for why the Unicode entities are getting scrambled.

To CMA, I’m going to build a copy of this site locally in MAMP, but I’m going to reconstruct it using Sandbox instead of the CLI. If the CLI utterly fails, I think it’s the only real replacement.

I’ve been having a cross-platform issue with ISO 10646 (Unicode) characters rendering as HTML entities, esp. those I’d been using to indicate global_status posts. I originally deployed the earth signs &#9793; (♁), &#10793; (⨁), and &#9783; (☷) to iconize ‘global’ in that entry category, but over time, in different browsers in various iterations, the former two (as you may be able to see here) seem to have stopped rendering as expected in UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1, while the latter (’earth’ tri-gram) continues to render in both encodings in all tested browsers. I’ve again updated the titles for all global_status entries to include the tri-gram (☷) and I’m hoping for best.

You probably couldn’t care less about this, but in Line 19, I changed:

taborder="0"

to:

tabindex="0"

and now net/network validates!

Began changing interweb profiles to reflect net.network as homepage. Continuing to use Tuttle’s Corner in social venues. This is only an exercise to give the appearance of life to the appearance of progress. A bloodless coup. Almost everyone wins.

Out of concern for the state of this site, I requested 57 screenshots of the main page here from browsershots.org. Aside from MSIE7’s not having loaded the page before its screenshot was submitted, I’m fairly pleased with the results, and satisfied that, in spite of keystrokes not being available in WebKit anymore, Safari (3 and 4) renders this site better than any of the other 56 browsers I looked at. So, you take the good with the bad.

- Added change-logs for each site. The global_status pages were originally intended to aggregate and describe updates to each of the four hobotrain network sites, but their format became untenable to maintain.

With respect to hobotrain.net/network, continuing degradation of the efficacy of underlying scripts now prevents me from linking to the global_status category page directly with the error message:

admin//hobotrain.net:/# category global-status

No category with that id, or specified category is empty.

and:

admin@hobotrain.net:/# category global_status

No category with that id, or specified category is empty.

even though the category_id global_status (⨁) is evident when entering ‘ls’ and ‘list’ commands and 19 distinct, viewable posts (which, again, are accessible by clicking on the flashing prompt at the bottom of each page) have been filed under the category global_status. Hmm.
