@DanielFau @TYPO3Assoc @typo3 Hi @DanielFau Sorry - just picked up on this message, and simultaneously noticed that Elon had suspended our Twitter account! We're now back, and we think you were responding to https://t.co/ETGkw0T4gu - we'd be very happy to talk! When / where?

We're really proud to have launched the Liberal Democrats new website today at https://t.co/uoQb3TmvHQ

The site is built on Typo3, integrated directly into Party data systems.

On Thursday, we start launching a fleet of 100's of local Lib Dem sites using the same functionality.

Shiny new website for Great Prawls Farm https://t.co/jA91IyszpX live. It builds on their previous much loved, but slightly dated and hard to update site.

We need to restart each of our servers this evening as a part of a firmware update.

This should only lead to a few (5-10) minutes downtime on each server.

We plan to undertake those restarts between 9.30pm and 11.30pm tonight (9/3/23).

Apologies for any disruption.

On Monday and Tuesday we'll be commissioning our second server array. We have scheduled the work to have the most limited downtime, but there may still be a few minutes of disruption to any service we host on Monday. Apologies in advance.

Another one for the "Killed by Google" list. Admitting a product doesn't work and getting out of it is hard to do. Except, it seems, for Google. https://t.co/b4yUCGwLuk

Work on adding new servers to our Maidstone array yesterday is complete. Apologies for the few minutes downtime a few users may have experienced.

[Prater Raines @praterraines]

Thank you. We're here all week.

[Prater Raines @praterraines]

Introducing the two newest members of our server array. Faster and more highly specified than anything that came before.

And the servers are pretty good too.

[Prater Raines @praterraines]

Remember.

Some facinating insight into the 2021 census at https://t.co/Dt8tX7pBDb

88.9% of households completed the survey online, with mobile devices being by far the most used:

- desktop & laptop computers: 34.6%
- mobile: 56.4%
- tablet: 8.9%

Introduced to a lovely idea this week when @floralimagekent came into our office to lend us flowers!

Beautiful display of imitation flowers, changed regularly to keep ringing the changes. Great for a busy meeting room (which, tbf, we don't have!).
