To all our subscribers, near and far, who had the misfortune this morning to wake up to an inbox full of utter gobbledygook branded ‘Planet Vending’, I offer my humble apologies.
PICTURED: All hail swashbuckling hero Ian Maguire
BY IAN REYNOLDS-YOUNG
I know how irritated I was, so God alone knows what you were saying under your breath…
They say that ‘truth will out’ and guess what? We’ve been trying to keep it a secret, but… For a few weeks now, under cover of darkness, we’ve had a crack team of Internet boffins beavering away in the background, working on a brand-new look for your favourite vending web site. Yes, we are in mid re-vamp. We’re still looking at various options and trying various BETAs (I think that’s the tech term), so it may be a while yet…
However, one of our over-eager night time toilers made, shall we say, a faux pas. Hence the flood of e-mail junk.
As soon as we were aware that there was a problem, our Technical Director, Ian ‘They Shall Not Pass’ Maguire, rose heroically from his bed and made sure it wasn’t going to happen again. We’ve used his picture, above, as a kind of ‘homage’.
Because, without his swashbuckling, hollow-eyed intervention, we might all have been counting unwanted e-mails in their thousands…
Me and The Boss are very sorry to have inconvenienced you. We’d also like to take this opportunity to offer our heartfelt ‘thanks’ to all those valued PV readers that helped us out by letting us know we had a problem. You know who you are.
