Please accept my apologies for the outage on my SAS-related blog server. Although I’ve not yet determined the exact cause, the outage itself affected the server’s swap space, which effectively prevented anyone, including myself, from accessing the blog site.
I’ve taken the opportunity, over the last few hours, to make a number of system updates, which I’m hoping will prevent a future occurrence of this problem.
Thank you for your patience and support!
VIEWS News issue 61 has now been published.
This newsletter issue welcomes 2 new VIEWS Consultants: Jonas Bilenas and Norman Williams. It also contains an article from LeRoy Bessler about Donut Charts, an ODS article from Jonas Bilenas, a solution to including program documentation from Norman Williams, and I have added a review of the SAS Analytics Explorers communities. As usual I have publicised some SAS‑related events for the next few months, and I have also added some more SAS formats, options and functions that you may or may not have come across before, but you might find interesting, and even useful.

I’ve changed the site theme. Do you like it?
I’ve been using the LeftSide theme on this blog site for some time now, but it hasn’t been working as well on phones and tablets recently, so I’ve decided to update the theme to Rebalance. This new theme was designed to adapt more appropriately to desktop, phone and tablet screens, so it should give everyone a better view of my blog.
Do you like the new Rebalance theme compared with the previous LeftSide theme on my blog site? Please answer for every device you use:

However, it is OK again now, and I’ve updated the system MySQL setup to, hopefully, prevent this happening in the future.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
