“A Pinch and a Punch for the First of the Month” and all that 🙂 Welcome to February 2001! Exciting news, January was a record month by what I think is probably a record amount – we are showing 498,600 hits for the month of January, we nearly hit the half million but not quite,…
Just a quick note for anyone who cares, the database server has been running on what the authors called a Gamma release. That is, it was mostly stable but they wanted to make absolutely sure before calling it stable… The latest release, which is now installed on the DearDiary server, is now the latest and…
Ok, so i’m a dummy 🙂 The search thing mentioned above wasn’t actually working properly it seems and I should have spotted that before I even told anyone about it. Thanks to deepbluesea for letting us know I was being a plank 🙂 It’s working now, I just fixed it – and i’ve simplified the…
Hi Everyone, A couple of quick announcements… Firstly, after a user request for a facility to allow searching of your own diary (possible already with the Search engine) we have updated it slightly to allow you to put a link to it on your own diary.

To that extent we would also plan on implementing something like this; DiaristA tells her friend, DiaristB about DearDiary.NET (or AtomIC Systems)….
The feedback we’ve had so far has been really very positive. All the emails so far have said the site is worth paying for! Which is pretty cool, thanks to Matt and Viivi that wrote with those kind words 🙂 No really, we have had some nice emails from people outside the organisation, so to…
The time has come for a consideration of something we thought wouldn’t happen… But the signs are all around that the business model of the Free Web is unsustainable and possibly it isn’t here… An article in The Register sums up a couple of weeks of articles we’ve been reading about the revenue stream from…
Surely it is amusing that I write in here, instead of getting my own diary up to date? 🙂 Hehehe 😉 I’ll get back to it, honest 🙂 I just wanted to note down some thoughts on performance of Websites – for those readers that are building, running, or even just considering running their own….
