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.

It seems the problem only affects some people’s diaries.. I have added some debug code because at this point I’ve no idea what’s causing it – everything looks exactly as it should be on the server. Though I did have to chuckle at the hacker who tried to get in through the forum system –…
Server Upgrade Tomorrow
BySteve
I will be requesting our hosting provider to perform the server upgrade mentioned previously, tomorrow. This means that the server will be in a read only mode from tomorrow morning (GMT) to allow backups to be taken and to ensure everything is safely stored away. This will mean that you will be UNABLE to login…
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…

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…

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.
