The thot plickens…

This, is what my logfiles tell me about the initial cause of the problem..

In other words, somehow a machine with a GIG of memory ran out… I shall be investigating why!

  1. connected to Angel Huggers diary, which was not a problem. Then clicked on ‘vote for me’
    I was taken to some sites that, shall I say, you wouldn’t want to show your grandmotehr.
    I suspect it has been harnessed from outside.
    I have told AngelHugger.
    Just thought I’d let you know

  2. Hey Guy’s I found a bug! 🙂

    If anyone tries to leave a comment ( Non Atomic Users ) and uses an apostrophe in their name, they get an error that looks like this:

    Error:
    Query failed [INSERT INTO comments VALUES(26451, 1009843200, 9, ‘Kid’s Say (Unauthenticated)’, ”, ‘This is so funny’, 1010805874, 3501919464, 0, 1)] – You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘s Say (Unauthenticated)’, ”, ‘This is so funny’, 1010805874, 3501919464, 0, 1)’ at line 1

    The error is in the SQL Code you have set up for your database… It can be solved easily. The server is reading the apostrophe submitted where From = Kid’s say ( the apostorphe after the d, and before the s ) to be part of the syntax.
    Since some user’s may use an apostrophe, you can solve this problem by using " and " in your code around the values given by the user. 🙂
