Funny, because they even got to say a quick hello: Arnold was still in the check-in queue when Marion came out. Apparently more people are starting to read the blog, because I&amp;rsquo;ve had complaints about the lack of updates. I&amp;rsquo;d also just found out from my mother that she couldn&amp;rsquo;t get onto it. So this morning Marion gets a lie-in and I get the blog up to date. It&amp;rsquo;s high time, too, because the website turned out to have some technical trouble as well. As an experiment I had decided to put Cloudflare in front of merrimac.nl. It turns out that if you get as few visitors as I do, it doesn&amp;rsquo;t help and actually works against you. Worse performance than without Cloudflare, so I quickly switched it off again. And now I&amp;rsquo;m updating the blog in double-quick time, because I&amp;rsquo;m a month behind!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
