Third Party Web Site Features Will Soon be a Thing of The Past

Over the years I've used several third party services for the web site to facilitate or accompany some features for this site such as for comments, photos, etc but almost all of them have either not been reliable or change their features over the years if not mere months of use.

The list includes:

Facebook
Instagram
Elfsight
...

and probably a few more that I can't be bothered to try to remember.

From this point onwards, no more of these . Well maybe except for Forecast7, which still works.

Historical Inaccuracy Everywhere

Some Mirians have a pretty poor historical perspective on their local town. Even the "official" sources.

The inconsistencies of a certain search engine result in pointing to sites that give inaccurate information about Miri's Well No.1.

Site is Live!

The new site is live! And far from done.

Content of the old site will be updated over time to the new site. The old site (from 10 years ago) was a starting point and learning curve, but it hit a roadblock in terms of upgrading the site internals because it was immediately outdated since it started out.. and the new site was meant to replace this years ago but distractions and life kept coming in between.

Oil & Gas Heavy

Some will realize that stories - and history - on this site is biased to Oil & Gas Industries. They're right, and there's a good reason for this - because most records exist about these industries it was much easier to research and gather information from them.
