Search Again
I’ve linked the Search button on the front page to go directly and easily to the relevant Google query boxes… Hopefully the result isn’t too bad. I’m not happy about it, but there’s not much I can do.

Hits from 58.*

As many of you might have noticed, these hits were not disappearing. Thats because their ‘hitdate’ (ie, the date when they looked at your diary) where incorrectly stored as a time some 300 years or more in the future. Rather than wait for them to expire naturally (since most of us will have expired before…
More AtMail Upgrades.
BySteve
AtMail now has folder (we call them pigeon holes) support, so you can organize your mail better. Create a folder to keep your mails from your family, another one to keep your mails from friends, another to keep those from that affiliate program you joined, etc etc. Premium Account holders can have as many folders…
Database Failure Overnight
BySteve
The database failed overnight leaving the service completely dead about 5 minutes after I went to bed. A query which went bad brought the server down by locking all the tables while it attempted to join together millions of rows (actually probably 100’s of millions of rows) which ran all night and actually never returned….
Work Begins
BySteve
Just a quick note to give some indication that work has begun on the return to Linux. I have begun installing a Linux server that will look to all intents and purposes like the server that DD will move to when everything is ready. In this way I can test everything and make sure its…
Add Reader Comment, a bit more
BySteve
A couple of minor escaping bugs have just been squashed (thanks to Steve for spotting them!) *mutters something unpleasant under his breath* 🙂 🙂 Something else I didn’t mention in the main announcement is that the emails sent out to diarists are now a little more informative. The biggest benefit will be to those with…
In Need Of Assistance
BySteve
I don’t normally use this diary to appeal for personal assistance, because generally it’s not appropriate, but I am making an exception this time because my personal diary doesn’t get the readership that this one does. A very good friend of mine (and Rose’s best friend) Selena is in the intensive care unit after she…
it is okay, please dont worry yourself over it, x x x
That explains why I was getting all kinds of bizarre errors when I’d try and access pages! You were playing around! 🙂 Glad to report that I didn’t lose any entries though!! 😛
That being the case, do not feel compelled to respond to me personally regarding the errors I’ve been getting. You have you hands full, from the sounds of it.
Good to know… we can still search for entries containing "ficus", "landmasses" and "Crest Toothpaste Kids" with the greatest of eases. Keep up the good work.

I can’t believe that he’s really given up. Trust me folks…..I don’t think we’ve heard the last of this. He’s a glutten for punishment and will keep thinking of a way to make it work properly. It may not be in the next week or so…but it will happen. He’s smarter than the computer…but not as square. 🙂
Is it just my webtv or is your site messed up this afternoon (in America)? It is only showing the first 4 or 5 diaries on the "most recent" diary things and then thats it, nothing else on the main page shows up. just thought I’d ask.
just out of curiousity…on the page that shows the recently updated diaries (by 24hrs, etc…) is the total count of entries include private ones? Reason I’m asking is that I’ve made a bunch of them private over the course of the past week or so and just posted an entry to see if it would update the count…which isn’t decreasing. Thanks a lot for your time and help 🙂

P.S. Not to worry . . . we know you are doing your best.
Um, I was fine with the change to search, but now I’m finding it hard to locate certain diaries. Not all will come up with the actual diary when I enter a name. Most have, but there’s this one diary I can’t locate and I want to subscribe or add it to my list so I won’t continue to have this problem.
If I should direct this problem elsewhere, please let me know. Otherwise, you’re doing a fine job, thanks. 😉
I know you’re trying hard and all, but the google search is broad, very broad…i’ve been searching for a diary for the last half hour and have only come up with comments that person has left in diaries…i know right now there’s not much you can do, but i guess i just wanted to alert you of the problem, have a nice day….

Glutton for punishment? Isn’t this supposed to be the season for being a glutton of food, candy, drink, presents, and happy schmappy times? Hey we know you do far more for us whiners. Give yourself a present and let it rest till next year. 🙂
I don’t mind doing searches the hard way. I find lots of interesting things along the way.
