SNOW!

Not something we get too often out here in BC... but we have it today! About 9cm so far, which is huge for us - so much for my planned Coast Guard Training day...

Ok - so before all of those that live in more snowy climes call wimp on us... we do have a gale force winds forecast as well - and the training was supposed to be basic docking so after negotiating our roads (the main problem being a whole lot of drivers that don´t know how to drive in the snow) it would be far too challenging anyway.

My power has already blipped off once (guessing someone hit a pole - that´s usually what happens)

The good news, always gotta find a silver lining, is that I´ll be able to spend a bit more time on the translation system today. It´s up and running by the way (didja notice?) if you had your browser set to a language other then English you may well have - but only very limited translations exist presently we have:
Total Languages: 6
Total Gaps: 42
Total Translations: 48

not exactly going to make it possible for our non-English speakers to navigate a site ;) but you must start somewhere...

In more frustrating news - some goober from the Ukraine tried to hack the photo albums yesterday. They didn´t succeed (bwhahahahah) but they did manage to create a whole host of junk albums - About 60. These were hidden to all but admins (as are all new albums until I publish them) but as a result I had to turn off the public´s ability to suggest an album until I make it a bit easier for me to delete the junk. Don´t worry - it won´t take me long.
