It is as if the "old magic" has got lost in a sea of "cloud" and "node" and "react" and the like.

Putting files of text on a webserver, and hosting it, is so old fashioned, so ancient, that it is almost inconceivable.

Sometimes, I receive questions which leave both me, and the person asking, bamboozled.

> Your website loads so quickly! What CDN do you use?

There is no CDN. It is just really small and simple, mostly text.

> Sure, but is that Cloudflare, or...?

None. It is a tiny website, just a few kilobytes per page, on a tiny server, at my home, connected to the Internet via my ISP, Andrews & Arnold.

> But are you / they in the cloud?

No. The webserver is in Newbury, in my garage.

> Neil, please can you pass my questions to your technical person? I don't think you understand, your website cannot be in your home. It must be in the cloud or have a CDN.

Good first day of the #ChristianTissier seminar. Really hot and crowded but manageable.. afraid of what tomorrow (Saturdays are always more popular) is going to be like.

Spent some time working on going slowly to correct uke's problems on nikkyo (not in a "noo a real attacker wouldn't do that" way but in a "you're giving up your center" way) and concentrating on moving around the axis instead of pushing or pulling.

His nikkyo felt different than others I've felt. I felt nothing until I felt a lightning bolt drop me to my knees when he was explaining it to me and my training partner.

Closest time I can think of when I felt a nikkyo like that might have been when I was starting aikido, probably 5th kyu, and a local shihan did one on me with 1 finger but that was so long ago that I can't really compare.
