Charged into painting yesterday, work on one of the three new ones currently called 'Can There Be A Refuge From The Terror?', but it was a hard fight. I continually disliked the painting, and threw out the design, only to come back to it, find or create more source material and try again for another battle.
We have heard that Fall in Green have the chance to perform at the Morecambe Poetry Festival this year, a last minute addition to the preview event on the Thursday; a day before the it all starts (and before we were planning to attend). Our slot will be 20 minutes, similar to the Nantwich Words & Music Festival performance, though much more difficult logistically. We're awaiting news on the technical details.
Today, an email bounce-back plunged me into worry. I've spent all day researching and trying to update domain verification settings. There are 3 verification protocols: SPF (IP Security), DMARC: (General Mail & Domain Security), and DKIM: (Email Security). The first two are relatively simple. The third requires two codes; one half tied to the email service, one tied to the domain; when both match identity is confirmed. This seems like a good solution, except that each email service creates or assigns the DKIM differently, it might even be there, but unseeable or uneditable by us mere users. I've spent all day trying to fix the problem. I've made some experimental changes, but they apparently take 72 hours to work. Yes, even in these modern days of email it takes longer than an actual postal letter to activate.
It's nearly evening. I must work on art as best I can.
