Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Photon festival. We have started an experiment. From September 5 to 7, 2025, we had a booth at the PHOTON Photography Festival in Illingen / Saar, Germany, where we promoted Ipernity. Thanks to Bernhard (Bergfex), who traveled from Austria especially for this event, we were able to talk to visitors at the festival and raise awareness of Ipernity. We'll have to wait and see if this will be reflected in the membership numbers. We also l…

Over the few weeks of my return to the Ipernity fold, I realise that a number of my old contacts have disappeared, which is no surprise really. Although I have kept up my subs, I have not been about through the trials and tribulations of the past few years which, from what I have read, could have ended in disaster. I am delighted to discover that Ipernity has battled through and is still continuing to do what Ipernity does best. Although it is sad to see that some have disappeared, either throu…

On the 9 July 2025, the cargo ship 'Saaremaa' was due to arrive into the Port of Sunderland having travelled from the Port of Karlsborg at the very northern end of the Gulf of Bothnia in Sweden. The ship met the pilot vessel offshore and proceeded past Roker lighthouse into the River Wear channel. A couple of hundred metres past the lighthouse and entering the trickiest part of the route, the ship appeared to lose power and drift off course towards Starboard (right). This meant it was now he…

Dear members and friends of ipernity, 1) Server overload update. Access to our website is somewhat improved from the days of unhelpful error messages, but as our servers are still overloaded by bots the team continues to work on finding a solution to the delayed loading of pages. What the team has done: 1) See the previously published article . 2) A new firewall has been installed and with a few updates to the settings, error messages no longer appear and so there has…

[Edit 8/6/2025: The loading of pages is back to normal speeds] Currently our club’s beloved ipernity website varies in accessibility. You may notice times with basically no access, times with very slow loading times and other times when it works quickly. There doesn’t appear to be any regular pattern to these disruptions. As noted before, these overloads are caused by excessive requests accessing our servers. These may be from the new AI bots that since March 2025 now have software t…

The Ipernity platform functions much like a great rainforest. Each night, shortly after midnight, the servers clear, the systems refresh, and the site hums with renewed energy. In these early hours, Ipernity runs fast and clean, like dry air beginning to gather moisture. As users upload photos, exchange likes, and leave comments, they saturate the digital atmosphere with activity. Gradually, as the hours pass, this accumulated load begins to weigh heavy. Latency creeps in like rising humidi…

One poor woman, unexpectedly receiving an inheritance from her uncle and not knowing where to spend it, turned to the Wise man. The Wise man placed a crystal vessel in front of her and began to fill it with stones. He put large stones at the bottom, smaller ones in the middle, and the smallest ones on top. After filling the vessel with sand, he turned it over. First, sand was poured out, then small stones, then medium ones, and large ones remained in the container. "Look, woman," said th…

We have had the pleasure of visiting the museums and parks containing static displays of the amazing Union Pacific "Big Boy" steam locomotives. In 2024, we were able to view #4012 at Steamtown, Scranton, Pennsylvania. Just this year, 2026, we saw the beautifully maintained 4017 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. That makes it complete, we have seen all 8. In addition to "museum" examples, since the re-start of #4014, we've managed to see this remarkable machine in action. For #4014, see: http://…

As some of you know - my daughter, Mandi, is here with me until the middle of August which is fantastic. She's been spoiling me by cooking my meals, washing up and cleaning etc. It's amazing. When Emily comes on Tuesday, I'm going to ask her if she'll take Mandi shopping. So I have almost 4 weeks of her being here and then - GUESS WHAT....................................!! I'm going back to Turkey with her for just over 4 weeks!!! I'm so proud of her travelling here all alone, considering…

I just happened to hear this song about a week ago, and I just can't get it out of my mind. Now I'm 75 and you'd think my music tastes would reflect this - wrong!!!! I absolutely adore Coldplay, Walker Brothers, and loads more - but I wouldn't have put this group on my list - until I heard this track. My son used to love them - not sure about my daughter and I do think they'd be shocked to hear that I'm raving about this track. So here is my favourite track at the moment - a new version of…

We received a bank transfer payment at the end of March without the reference of the ipernity account number, nor could any match be made via the name. If the member who we assume has lapsed to a Guest account, has knowledge of a payment made by E S Kessinger, please contact the team. This case is an example of the delay for the member, and the extra effort by team, when this piece of information is not included.

Hello folks, well it's been just over a week since I last wrote to you all. I've been making new resin jewellry, as I'd got myself some new moulds. I did this because I needed to take a break from all the news about Turkey. I do have Sky tv and so I've been watching TRT World which is the Turkish News but in English!!! I have been glued to it some days because I was staggered at how many people were still being brought out alive, even after 10 days since the earthquakes. How has that been possib…
