A Poem

BySteve

Not a system announcement, but related to the tragedy in the US.

We received this nice poem in the mail from one of our users and thought we’d share it.

the gap

by elysabeth forrest

there’s a gap in the famed skyline

where two towers used to stand

in the place of the majestic scene

there’s a lonely plot of land

life’s been somewhat different

since that tragic autumn day

but we will only grow stronger

and will learn from this some way.

there’s a gap in the famed skyline

just a lonely plot of land

but the hatred shall not daunt us

and united we shall stand

If anyone has any they’ve written themselves, feel free to add them as comments or mail them in and we’ll put them somewhere – if we get a few more we’ll put together a tribute page with them all on.

Stay strong.

Matt.

Sorry to disappoint you buddy but there’s more coming too. Its called choice. Its called freedom. Its called the ability to tell jerks you no longer wish to listen to their insensitive, overactive drivel. Its called choice. I said that already. But I say it again. Its called choice.

Dear Diary Performance

Just a quick update on system performance issues on the server. We have spent a chunk of time today ironing out some performance issues on the server. Steve has already spoken about the ShowMyHits resolution so I won’t go in to that one. We have removed the AccessWatch reports that would give you a five-minute…

Emails, reportedly from us

BySteve

I’ve, rather interestingly, been receiving emails to abuse@deardiary.net that claim to have come from support@deardiary.net! Which leads me to the conclusion that the latest wonder worms from the minds of those intellectually challenged enough to have to resort to write VB Script email worms, are now faking the sender’s details to be a random address…

Did You Guys Miss Us?

LOL! The server load has shot through the roof (I saw it at 23 a while back – the scale on the front page only goes up to 10 – lol) 21 Users online reportedly, noting that it doesn’t count readers who haven’t logged in at all… Reader Comments should now be working again, and…

  1. A moment in time.

    Across the sea…
    Across the land…
    A thousand miles…
    A thousand more…
    And yet the worlds eyes turn one way today.

    A target hit…
    A highrise in flames…
    The dust rises…
    The smoke billows…

    And the world’s people stare on in disbelief and fear.

    A nameless face…
    A reaching arm…
    A screaming voice…
    A plea for help…

    And yet help won’t reach that far to make a difference fast enough.

    Twisted metal…
    Broken glass…
    Shattered foundations…
    Crumbling walls…

    And we pray and hope that someone will emerge from a pile of rubble the fallen buildings leave.

    The fingers point…
    Speculations are made…
    The loss of life…
    The casualties of an unexpected attack…

    And the whole world waits for resolution and explanation.

  3. Thanks for the great poems. Its so nice to see the world coming to the aid of another country. For the longest time I didn’t think there was much compasion in the world. Now after this terrible tragedy that will be etched in everyone’s minds forever I’m seeing the world in a different light.
