Search
Fri Dec 14 2001

It is with regret that I must tell you that the search facility will NOT be coming back. I've spent 8 hours trying to get the database to play friendly, and all I've succeeded in doing is providing yet another day where the server is as unreliable as shit, dumped some peoples entries into oblivion and given myself an ulcer.

So, if you want to search for someone's entries, please visit http://www.atomic-systems.com/ and stick your keywords into the Google box...

Sorry.
Steve.

    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!! :-P

    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 :)

    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.
