Well, Steve got the system upgraded to the latest PHP (4.0.3pl1) today, and brought the Optimizer online so the PHP is now using a fair bit less system resource than it was (not that it was all that bad in the first place to be honest). The upgrade blew up the PHP source though which…
Well, installing the Zend Optimiser failed abysmally because it now needs the latest version of PHP and we don’t have that on yet, so we have to get that first. Ah well, it can wait a couple of days 🙂 Netscape sucks, I just wanted to say that. I was informed that the front page…
A few more issues have been resolved since the last update… Anyone that had ‘Matts Diary’ and ‘Steves Diary’ in their menubar all of a sudden after the upgrade… Our apologies for that, they’re gone now 🙂 (we took them out the back and shot them chuckle).

Just a quickie (you know what us men are like)… I’m happy that the server is doing ok – the server did actually start going nuts again for a little while even after the optimisation of the database. I watched the logs for hours last night and it looks like the site was getting the…

Well, I’ve managed to get the table structure for P3 lined up and i’ve got about 50% of the screens dumied on paper (control flow only, I figure it’s more important to worry about if the screens are gonna be useful and quick to operate at this…
The system has completed its upgrade to Build 2.1, this is a compatibility release to allow us to advance our other websites and continue our plans to integrate all future sites together at some level. The upgrade didn’t go as smoothly as hoped, but merely in a technical manner – there was no danger to…
Dear Diary 2.1 and P2 are coming online this evening – in 2 or 3 hours, we finished the testing and we’re happy for Dear Diary 2.1 to go out. Please note, as I have said previously, there are very few new features in Dear Diary 2.1 except those i’ve mentioned before (jump to first…
This is a copy of all the information that used to be under the ‘News’ link, we’re moving it here so that it is still available. We’re deleting that old link and then making sure that any reference to ‘News’ points to this diary, as this is now considered the official source of all updates…
