Handpicked Ideas #5
This is the fifth in a regular series of posts that will pick out and highlight a few interesting submissions from Day Zero Project participants. I love the creative thought that some people put into their lists and how the scale of the task is not always as important as how fun or fulfilling it is.

Day Zero Project Website Update
This has been a long time coming, but I am pleased to announce an update to the website including a slight redesign and a lot of behind-the-scenes improvements. This update also includes a move to a more robust server that will handle more traffic and hopefully prevent any future outages such as the one which occurred around New Year’s.

Website Update
First up the good news - the website is back up after a lengthy outage. As mentioned earlier, no data has been lost and if you have an account then you can log in and continue to check off tasks and maintain your list.
For new visitors, unfortunately in order to ensure continuity of service to existing users I may have to temporarily disable the sign up process. There is still work to be done to...

Website Outage Update
Firstly, I would like to reassure visitors that the site will most definitely be back up and running and that no lists or accounts have been lost.
Just before Christmas, without any warning, my hosting company turned off access to the website after reporting heavy traffic. Their inflexible stance on this has meant that the only way forward is to migrate the site to a larger server. Unfortunately...

Day Zero vs Netherlands
With the World Cup final just a few days away I thought I would take a look at the country statistics on Day Zero to see where your allegiances lie. The numbers are overwhelming - outside of the US and Canada, the Netherlands are by far the biggest participants in the Day Zero challenge. (Spain aren’t listed in the graph here but make up only 0.3% of visitors to the site).
