England v USA Women's World Cup 2019 semi-final - I've spent the last 30 mins trying to find a live video stream of the match but haven't found one, seems that watching live sports on the internet is getting more difficult, anyway looks like USA is leading 2:1 theguardian.com #

In the early hours this morning I deployed the latest version of linkblog to the production servers, so far today everything seems to be working - There are a lot of structural changes that make the underlying platform stronger, and the load balancing is setup in a way that makes SSL on custom domains possible, the other big change is that it's possible to signup for a 2 week trial before committing to a yearly subscription - This last part of the build has been really quite difficult, hopefully the vampires will stop sucking my blood during the night now, either way there will be linkblog en.wikipedia.org #
