When did this website start to f**k up then? I noticed it late this morning, when it was splurting out error messages at the top of the page, although I'm not sure exactly when it started, or indeed why.

Seems to be some kind of quota issue going on, which means that PHP can't save the small files that it uses to track sessions. Since the sign-in functions operate using sessions, it loses track of when you're signed in, and so although you can log into the site, it won't remember you're signed in on the next page you visit.

But I'm sure I'm not over quota. I'm not, according to the control panel for my website, or according to the total size of my most recent backup. And even if I was, why would that stop PHP creating temporary session files in /tmp?

I've emailed tech support, and something seems to have changed: the error messages are now appearing at the /bottom/ of the page instead of at the top. At least this means the scripts can once again output HTTP headers and so cookies (which I use to generate the number of photo comments since your last visit) are working again :).

In the meantime, I'm reduced to entering blog entries manually into the database. Eeek.

In other news, I've got sooooooooooooooo much work to do before the end of term, including a 3,000 word essay for noon tomorrow on data protection issues. Eeek. As James said today, I don't think I'll be going out either before or after the Glitter Ball this term. Gah!

Looking forward to the Glitter Ball, though. Pam St Clemens! Yay! Apparantly she shops in TOny's local Woolworths. And Seldo - I love that photo.

Work now.
