Witness Update Jan 27th
Yes, I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for witness related pictures. This is a UK TV series ^.^

I am currently sitting at rank 107, effective rank 90 - a gain of a few positions since my last update. My server has not encountered any problems and things have been ticking over nicely. I get a block around every 11 hours and have not missed any.
To date my witness has grown my account by 47.76 SP - which makes me happy. This, if turned to a dollar value, has more than paid for my server rental. I didn't do this for the monetary value, more to support the blockchain and this platform, but it is great that I am not out of pocket.
Yesterday came the announcement that there was a potential vulnerability in Steemd that could lead to a denial of service attack in its API and P2P layers. I, along with the other witnesses who call The Writers' Block home, quickly updated our witnesses. The update itself went well but I encountered a problem getting it to restart. After a little tinkering and under the advice of a few fellow witnesses, mine was back up and running in short order. Since updating yesterday afternoon I have witnessed two blocks, so all is well.
Luckily, once set up the server pretty much takes care of itself. I have been ill for the past few weeks with an MS flare up. This affects - among other things - my eyes which, as you can imagine, makes it difficult to read. Nonetheless, I have not neglected my witness duties, checking my server regularly and my price feed, making sure all is as it should be.
I am extremely grateful to everyone who puts their faith in me as a witness and who takes the time to vote for me. Every vote helps.
Like what I do? Vote for my witness https://steemit.com/~witnesses - scroll below top the 50 witnesses and enter my name in the text box, then click vote. Thanks for your support.
Excellent work! Looking forward to some exciting times ahead!
Greetings @gmuxx! I voted earlier this week. Tried doing it again and I think the vote didn't count. Are we allowed to vote only once per week?
You vote just the once, unless you wish to change your votes. By voting again you have disapproved my witness.
First of all get well soon. And then you repair your servers and think about your SP :) Health is everyting. I upvote you as my witness :D Have a nice day.
Thank you
I should vote for you regardless, but are you pro or anti peg?
My opinion is that it should not be changed currently.
Hi! I'm @snowpea. I noticed a little while ago that you unfollowed me. I wasn't even aware you were following me in the first place. Anyway, I don't mean to be a bother, but I'm just wondering why as I'd like to improve if I'm doing something wrong. Much love. :)
I have been going through my feed and removing users that predominantly post memes on dmania. I don't see what value they add to the platform personally. I see I made a mistake with you and I was overzealous in unfollowing you, having gone through your feed. I apologise and follow once more. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for following me once more!! :) That was my first time posting with dmania. I've heard so much about it and wanted to try it out. I love memes, but I wish it was a separate site altogether because I can see how it would reduce the worth of my blog.
hope get well soon
Thanks for post :)
There is great hope for the future
Definitely looking forward to it
Perfect post. congratulations dear @Gmuxx
