Good heavens! 20,000 public diaries now available to be read! I’ve noticed also that the number of diaries updated in the last week and 24 hours has dramatically increased too!! Thanks for choosing DearDiary.Net to write at – keep up the good work folks, lets chronicle history through the eyes of the normal (heh!) person!…
The main DearDiary.Net server will be down for approximately half an hour tomorrow (10th May 2002) for a RAM upgrade. Many of you will have noticed the horrid slowdown in the afternoon/evening (depending on your timezone) and we’re hopeful that the extra RAM will improve this. The server will be reboot at approximately 14:30 EST…
I don’t want to hear complaints about entries, or comments that predate these entries. I won’t retrospectively en-act new ‘laws’ (despite that they’ve been laws since the beginning of the site!) because I don’t have the energy or the time to dissect who might be the person in the ‘right’ in an argument. My judgement…
OK, I’ve had enough. Its time to clamp down again because some people at this site are spoiling it for the majority…. Two clarifications now, and I shall start acting on any requests sent to [email protected] that I find to be accurate and infringe on the Terms and Conditions (URL later) and these two extra…
I’ve noticed a couple of occasions where the server has been slogged to the floor. This would appear to be due to search engines unfriendly spiders spamming the site with lots of requests in a short period. Altavista is particularly dastardly for this, and is presently in the banned list that doesn’t even know the…
Work officially began on the long awaited DearDiary 3.0 software. Matt’s busy on other projects (one’s that actually enable this server to be paid for these days, so we won’t stop him!) so DD3 is all down to me… Don’t hold your breath, but I shall be working on it flat out and will be…
In case anyone has been having trouble with those blasted transparent caching proxies (ie, if you made a change to something and returned later to find an old, stale page instead then you were probably the victim of a proxy) I have made some changes to AtMail as part of this build which should reduce…
AtMail now has folder (we call them pigeon holes) support, so you can organize your mail better. Create a folder to keep your mails from your family, another one to keep your mails from friends, another to keep those from that affiliate program you joined, etc etc. Premium Account holders can have as many folders…
AtMail (http://atmail.atomic-systems.com) now has address book functionality. If you’re a Premium Account holder there is no limit to the number of addresses your address book can contain, whereas non Premium Account holders are limited to (at present) 15 addresses. More features are proposed for AtMail, so watch this space!! Steve.

Such a policy would be costly to us because we could have to appear in court in whatever country the problem is occuring. Thus, the wording…
