2016 has 366 days

Frustrating as it may seem, 366 simply does not divide easily into 2016. It won't be until 2196 that the hexagonal factor relationship will be meaninglessly true yet significant to some. There is to be an election in Scotland this year which will impact on operations directly and indirectly, purely on a resource basis, but this should pass after May to allow some reasonable outputs. In saying that, future predictions seldom factor in the giveashitometer effect (copyright R Allen some time ago?). By now it is becoming clear that this post is self-referential.

NextGen $base-url

Wordpress gallery plugin NextGen has an odd feature if you're using the lightbox option in that URLs are stored mysteriously even after migrating a site to a new domain and updating any stored reference in the database (e.g. using the Serialized PHP Search Replace script)

There is a fix from 2013 by deltafactory on GitHub Gist but this specific issue has popped up on a few forums where the $base_url doesn't change readily.

The only obvious sign that something is awry are the missing images on the lightbox frame:
