Hi everyone,

So I’ve spent my weekend doing upgrades to our website. it’s currently based off WordPress with a theme I kinda like.

The issue I’ve kinda ‘fixed’ is that, being an older WordPress theme, it was built around older versions of BootStrap and a number of other libraries. It seems the theme author is no longer working on this theme.

Never fear though. I’ve managed to do some magic and made sure all the libraries this theme uses are brought up to date, and also used this as an opportunity to tidy a few other things up. From my own testing, things seem to be working,

If you notice any weirdness, try a cache clear on your browser first (particularly if you’ve visited the site over the last few days while I’ve been working on it), otherwise let me know in either the #FlyingMonkey or #RetroComputing channel.

We’ll be doing some scheduled maintenance at 8:30pm AEST this coming August 7th.

We don’t anticipate there being any interruptions, however if that changes we’ll notify people within IRC.

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the brief outage. The IRC server had a hiccup and crashed, and an error in the config caused it to fail to restart.

This has now been rectified, and everything is starting to return to normal.

I’ll be running some maintenance on Friday the 24th of July 2026 @ 8pm (Sydney time). No downtime or interruptions are expected, though we’ll send a notification within IRC if this becomes necessary.

We’ll be running our first round of server maintenance on Friday, 3 July 2026 at 8:00pm Sydney time.

We don’t anticipate any disruption, however a notification will be sent within IRC will be sent if we need to do anything like a restart.
