Weekly Update 477

12 November 2025

What. A. Week. It wasn't just the preceding weeks of technical pain as we tried to work out how to get this data loaded, it was all the subsequent queries we had to deal with too. Some of them are totally understandable, whilst others just resulted in endless facepalms But we got there in the end with the worst of it just being a 24-hour period where we ended up on a SpamCop block list, for reasons I still don't understand. We are still on the very tail end of sending individual notifications, so there may be more to update in the next vid, but at least that one will be from home with sunshine, good coffee and a slower pace
