Site Updates
my NoteFinder sucks…, so…
As mentioned in a post last week, the original notefinder application is becoming close to useless – killed by the rising number of users.
So whilst my new version is not (functionally) complete – ie the links to appellations, profiles and websites etc. are not currently working, and the tasting dates are wrong – the note [...]
updating for the next days
Just a quick apology and pre-apology!
The apology is for those users of the NoteFinder:
Leider benötigt Ihr Web im Moment 260 MB RAM. Ihnen stehen laut Vertrag jedoch nur 64 MB zu. Daher haben wir uns entschlossen Ihr Web auf 160 MB RAM zu begrenzen. Dies ist aus Schutz, da Sie sonst im schlimmsten Fall den [...]
volnay – finally on the map!
Within these pages, the ‘Map Resource‘ is one of most people’s favourite stopping-off points. It’s far from perfect of-course, but I cannot for a moment complain of the munificence of Kobrand for supplying me with their maps, and since way-back in 2004 too.
Those maps clearly needed a little work to be of [...]
a lazy toad…
A couple of thousand people on this site’s mailing-list got this today. Only one of the replies called me a lazy toad!
Dear Friends,
A quick email to say that there will be no ‘Autumn Burgundy Report’ for you this week – no I haven’t given up – not yet anyway!
One missed appointment and [...]
abbreviation of content plus the high cost of false attribution
No bottles to open as I’m trying to rid myself of this damn cold, it also curtailed my domaine visit plans for the end of last week. So the net result is that the Autumn Report will be abbreviated versus my plan A – 120 2007 tasting notes from 2 tastings are missing, and [...]
site tidying…
Part of the long-term updating of the site is to bring more and more of the content under the site (content) management tool. As per my previous note, the transfer of the ‘reports’ keeps moving at its snail pace of progress. Today 2003, much of 2004 plus 2007/8/9 reports are now ‘migrated’ (done!). [...]
updating…
The (possibly) long process of updating the site with the 20th century in mind has started.
The Spring 2003 Burgundy Report has now been brought from it’s discrete collection of little files, under the wing of ‘the publishing system’. I find it interesting to look back at those ‘pokey’ images – they couldn’t have [...]
site updates…
Some changes may be obvious, others less-so. I’ve updated the database for the NoteFinder, so 2,800+ notes are now available; of which over 600 are from the 2007/2006 vintages. Performance should have improved too – it was more than a bit flaky of recent – but it turned out to be because of [...]
2009 Summer Burgundy Report
The Summer 2009 Burgundy Report is now available.
Enjoy and have a nice weekend…
ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
The occasional thing may seem a bit ‘flakey’ around here and maybe for the next few days as I (piece-by-piece) update the site’s structure.
A slightly different design which currently looks okay in internet explorer (7) but is less than perfect in Firefox, I expect it will be about 2 weeks before everything is [...]
red flag diary…
I was recently searching for something-or-other and came across a very different Big Red Diary. Clearly it is run, since 2005, by a red-headed lady – I’ll make no other assumptions in respect of the word ‘big’ – anyway, zero complaints from me! But that got me wondering how many other ‘BRDs’ there could [...]
contributors
I just wanted to share with you a short note on contributions to these diary pages.
The early Burgundy Reports had a ‘guest text’ section which despite having fallen by the wayside in last couple of years, it remains open and available to potential/latent contributors. Outside of that, it’s really only the two [...]
