  • If you’ve been using this website a lot during the last few weeks, you’ve probably noticed changes happening randomly. I’m guessing it’s been fairly annoying. Don’t worry! It’s all for a good cause. I’m modernizing LatLex and fixing bugs. Also, I’m making it slightly more friendly to people and hostile to bots, Artificial Stupidity and all that rotten nonsense.

    If you’re encountering issues, make sure you’ve done your due diligence to try to make it work — clear your cache, clear your cookies, restart your web browser, restart your device, et cetera. If all that fails and you’re interested in Latin as a research topic (not as a data broker, agent, bot farmer or bot), feel free to contact me. I’ll try to help out if I can.

    More changes to come!

  • I’ll be migrating the server today to a new host. 

    It may take up to 24 hours for web propagation and cache timeouts to complete. However, most users should experience downtime and delays lasting no more than 4 hours.

    If you’re not able to access the site more than 48 hours after this blog post — beyond normal blocks and bans already in place — please leave a comment or contact me. Before you do, please be prepared to provide information about your device (such as brand, model, operating system), browsing software (such as browser name, browser version, status of cookies and JavaScript) and internet connection (such as country, internet service provider). 

    Please also be aware that I am aware of certain blocks, bans and other issues affecting organizations with a large number of users (such as churches and schools). These issues will not be resolved with this server move. Please be patient as I am working to resolve those separately. 

  • Sorry about the downtime! Many thanks go to those kind users who notified me directly.

  • First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who so quickly reported problems with the English to Latin section of the website. It’s great to know that this tool is important and being utilized.

    Second, it should only be down for a short time. It will be back up and running soon.

    Thanks for using the site!

  • So there was a small glitch on the server this morning. It was super easy to fix but I didn’t have a chance to fix it for a few hours. It should be good now!

  • Sorry about the server outage. It was a technical mistake on my part — don’t worry, Numen isn’t going way. Thanks for all the compliments — the number of people emailing me really did let me know that Numen is a useful and necessary tool. Please continue to report problems! It really helps me out!

  • You know me pretty well by now if you know that I move the Latin Lexicon server every few months. Hopefully this new home will last for a couple of years.

    If you notice anything isn’t working, please feel free to contact me at admin@latinlexicon.org.

    I should post more news here. It might not be obvious from here, but I’m constantly making updates to the Latin Lexicon — I fix something like 10 reported errors per week. I also add enhancements and fix bugs (and sometimes add new bugs). If there are any particular features you’d like to see on the site, again feel free to contact me. 

  • So the server seems stable. That’s good news. Thanks to all of you for your feedback over the last few weeks.

    I’d like to make small changes to the site and make it more usable? What would you like to see (including big bugs that I’ve missed)?

  • Unfortunately the website (and all email functions) are down for the moment. The server crashed! There is no ETA at the moment.

    I know this is frustrating for you and it’s even more frustrating for me.

    I have officially started the search for a new hosting provider and will definitely be switching over to that new hosting provider within a matter of days.

    I apologize for the instability of the site, especially at this time in the semester.
