By Chris, on May 17, 2011, at 1:39 pm I know several people noticed the site has been down for a few weeks; I have now re-enabled it and I also went ahead and updated WordPress — and the Atahualpa theme we use — to the latest versions. Everything seems to be working fine but please let me know if you notice anything weird.
We have been having some serious animal challenges lately – among other things, two sick cats (and we can’t seem to find a diagnosis) for a month now, a little foster kitten (well on her way to being a cat at this point) who gets diarrhea every time we try to get her on to dry food, and a sudden crisis that caught us quite off guard and resulted in one member of our critter family now no longer being with us. That is what prompted the site shutdown. I was going to actually wipe the site and start fresh but instead I am just restructuring it a bit so that I don’t get smacked in the face with things that make me sad each time I visit the page. The menus are changing a bit, and the random photo block has been removed, but all the photos and posts are being left in place. And the theme update fixed a bug that has made posting a real pain in the behind for the past few months, now that it’s fixed I’ll try to get back on here more often now.

By Chris, on September 25, 2010, at 7:22 am The blog has been updated to WordPress 3.0.1 and everything seems to work. I am aware of the intermittent server error when trying to access the site, according to hosting support, the site is exceeding it’s memory allocation when that happens and the recommended upgrading. If it still happens after this I am guessing it’s a misbehaving plugin.
By Chris, on May 15, 2010, at 9:40 am Woo Hoo!
The WPG2 plugin has been restored so that the blog is back to it’s happy self. I haven’t had a lot of time to work on this, but it’s been nagging at me and making me crazy. I had posted on the WPG2 forum to no avail, and was going to contact my webhost and see if they had a fix. While I was driving yesterday, it occurred to me to try one last time to delete and replace the files themselves. I had done this before and it didn’t fix it, but this time it did. I don’t even care that I don’t know how I fixed it, I’m just glad it’s working.
The problem is that WPG2 has been orphaned and is no longer being developed. I assume that at some point, a few upgrades down the road, I am going to have this problem again if WordPress or Gallery2 significantly change their code. Gallery3 is out there on the horizon, and while currently there doesn’t appear to be support for embedding in WordPress, maybe that will be added later. Or maybe someone else will pick up WPG2 and continue on with it.
By Chris, on May 6, 2010, at 7:34 pm The Critterweb is still going through some difficulties which apparently were due to the server the site was hosted on becoming unstable. There were no database backups so I’ve had to work to repair the old one, and just haven’t had a lot of time to work on it. Due to all this I’ve had to move the whole site which was a bit tricky with both WordPress and Gallery2 databases to relocate. It’s mostly fixed but I am still working at getting the integration with the blog back up and running. In the meantime it can be accessed directly but keep in mind there are still a few issues I am working on. If you see a broken photo link, please let me know!
