Sometimes life is not about technology.
Tumble dryer stopped heating – so take it apart, realise thermal fuse is blown. Clean all of the dust and lint out – reassemble – it works for a few minutes.
Repeat and rinse. This time replace thermal fuse, thermostat and heating element. Same again.
Third time run the vent pipe cleaner up the pipe – and there’s a birds nest in the vent pipe. Desiccated dead bird and all.
Moral of the story – tumble dryer problems – always clean and clean the vent just to be extra sure.

Switched 12 year old Pentium II to a Pentium Core 2 for the firewall box.
Also moved from spinning disk to SSD – and it’s running a lot cooler.

Some notes for later.
App Service Editor is incredible.
Uploading webfonts (woff/woff2) requires that wp-config.php has
define(‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true);
set for the short time.
Serving woff/woff2 fonts requires that MIME types are put in place.
Add this to web.config under system.webserver. https://blogs.iis.net/richma/adding-mime-types-to-your-windows-azure-web-site

<mimeMap fileExtension=”.woff” mimeType=”application/x-font-woff” />
<mimeMap fileExtension=”.woff2″ mimeType=”application/x-font-woff2″ />
