    @GennHutchison That’s lovely. And I’m sorry you were in that place.

    @rod @denisewilton Great advice. I’m definitely going to leverage this.

    @harry_slater Thanks. I always assume anyone potentially interested already knows about it, but yes, it was a while ago!

    I just queued up 17 more walls of varying craziness on crazywalls.tumblr.com thanks to @essl’s efforts. Thanks Mike!

    @chrisphin Odd! It’s possible it’s some slow-to-propagate DNS changes from yesterday afternoon - maybe your corporate network has cached [waves hands vaguely] something for longer?

    @chrisphin Thanks. Does gyford.com do the same for you? Its certificate is generated in the same way.

    @jamesjefferies I think they were mentioned in passing, as were The Fall. It must be hard to keep things focused and coherent, given how sprawling the story could get.

    @chrisphin @mildlydiverting Hmm, strange… it works for me, which is also strange! I will have a poke after lunch, although I’m not sure what I can do… thanks for letting me know.

    @mildlydiverting @rod @gilest @denisewilton Oh you guys! [awkward shoulder punch]
