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.

Well, great news… The server was running nice and fast for about, err, 10 hours or so. And then crashed when it tried to do the nightly update!! Its done that once before, where the whole scripts just consumed all the database connections and left none for the web… Thats what happened this morning too……

This entry is likely to be emotional, and I may swear a bit. Most of it is not directed at individuals, because I don’t (yet) know who the individuals are. You know who you are though, so take heed. This is aimed at the supposed adults of this site. Those who are at least adult…
Just a quick note to say that the bug regarding the removal of diary entries is now fixed, apologies to everyone for that one, I shall be dragging myself out the back for a good thrashing later on this evening! 🙂 Any more bugs to report, please drop us a note! Matt.
I didn’t get much time to work on it but I did get some odd little bits done. We’ve got the menu bar starting to come to life now and support is in the diary configuration file so that users can have their own links in the menu bar. There were some other minor cleaning…
OK, I’ve optimized (read, recoded) a BUNCH of queries on the server – some of them in the old Perl code (which really is beginning to show its age now!) and a couple in the new .Net code (which shouldn’t have barfed but oh well you live and learn)… The slow query log is trapping…
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.
