Shrewd'm was down whenever I looked yesterday.
Up now though, and so is Berkshire! Rah, rah, rah!

>Up now though, and so is Berkshire! Rah, rah, rah!
My apologies, Shrewd'm was down for a number of hours yesterday; fine now. I had automatic monitoring that resets a virtual machine if the project is temporarily down, however I moved the project to a faster server (with zero downtime during the move) several weeks ago and the monitoring had apparently not correctly transferred, so I missed it being down until I checked myself. The monitoring (cron jobs) should be working again.
Up-time for Shrewd'm, including yesterday, has been very high at 99.86%. I'll aim even higher. Email sending reliability is now the best in the industry, and the project is now running even faster than earlier in the year.
Culturally all is going well - everyone here is wonderful, only it would be good to have some more board cross-pollination. When posting something not related to Berkshire, post it at the applicable board (then view it, and copy the url) then add a post here with a link to your post. It sounds like a small thing but it will help with Shrewdm's inherent multi-dimensionality especially as the talent here is very broad.
Even if Berkshire Hathaway is the sun, a star system is more interesting with some planets and moons. It is good to fly around.

AdrianC,
I still find myself quite reluctant (in part, emotional) to part with any BRK shares and am looking to trim other equities in the new year, despite having a majority of my eggs in the BRK basket. How are you coming to your judgement to trim BRK rather than SPY or other positions like big tech? Not judging, just genuinely curious, as a lot of us are probably weighing similar decisions wrt which keg to tap for funds. Many thanks.

Oh, simple, I don't have anything else available to tap. I have some other things in tax-deferred but can't get at that for a few years.

Probably not the best place to post this but the one strange post with this web site is the inconsistent nature of tracking where I last left off reading posts. For example lets say I last read post 3,789 on December 12. Some boards will retain that info and when I return it picks up where I left off but I think it is this board, it will instead move me back to a week or several weeks prior to the last post I access so I have to click on next multiple times to figure out where I left off. Now it does show what posts I had already read (change of title color) so that makes it a bit easier as I click through the pages.
Not sure how many people have had this issue.

It does on the same browser. Go to a different device and it doesn't indicate which posts were read (change color).
Not complaining, just an observation.

I like it that way. Kind of like a high tech bookmark :-)

This board retains exactly the same navigation position (the last post number shown at the top of the list when viewing the board) that you were last at.
It is as simple as that. The navigation has no relation to the last post viewed.
If post No. 5006 was shown at the top of the list, and you leave and come back months later, you will still see post No. 5006 as the top of the list. Other new posts will later be below it, and you don’t automatically jump past them.
This is different to the former TMF board which paid attention to the lost read and re-navigated based on that. That was confusing also but we got used it to. There isn’t a perfect way and each has pros and cons. The way this board navigates is clean; you never miss a post as we did before (for example, before if you read just the last post - missing some earlier unread posts) and then leave, and arrive back - then the navigation location suddenly changed to only show just the post you viewed and earlier unread posts were missed. We got used to it, but that doesn’t mean it was as good as how this board works.
This board doesn’t even record which post you have read - I prefer the system to not know and like that fact also.
The green buttons with previous and next have the option to jump week by week. Now that we have some decent history, I will soon add options to jump by month and year also. ( And further down the track when the board has many tens of thousands of posts, there will be a nice reason to jump by decade also, so I’ll exceedingly look forward to adding that then! )
