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.

Attention SBCGlobal Users – your provider is blocking emails
BySteve
SBCGlobal users might wish to contact them and ask them why they continually reject e-mails from us. I have checked with the blacklists and we are NOT on the lists that SBCGlobal continually state we are. The net result is, you cannot use an SBCGlobal e-mail address if you wish e-mail to be delivered from…
Chinese Big5 Working Again
BySteve
Hi all, What a day for updates… Anyway, I have by virtue of fixing apostrophes for someone else, fixed the Chinese Big5 problem… The new version of Apache puts a default encoding header of UTF-8 which overrules the META tag that DearDiary puts out. Thus, pages were actually broken for everyone, it just happens that…
Connectivity Issues
BySteve
We’re experiencing major database issues again, due to a significant bug somewhere in MySQL. We’re trying various options to fix the problem, but please bear with us for a little while longer. The problem manifests itself as a sudden (and catastrophic!) slow down, which on the server itself is represented by a load average exceeding…
Anti Denial Of Service Module in place
BySteve
I have today added an extra security module to the server which should reduce the ability for spiders (the biggest culprit being BaiduSpider!) to severly cripple the machine by issuing lots of requests in quick succession. The configuration will need some tweaking I’m sure, but if you find yourself getting blocked when you’re trying to…
Password Change Disabled
BySteve
Until we can get more time to investigate the problem (I have family over this weekend for example!) I have disabled/removed the code that does the password changing so now if this is someone being an asshole they will just be greeting with a 404 note now. Atleast you can be sure your passwords will…

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.
