Firstly, the ‘first’ menu option will now work correctly. It’s been working after a fashion but not correctly – this has now been fixed and clicking on ‘First’ should now give the correct answer for everybody – let me know if anybody still has issues with this. Next up, reader comments. Previously the ‘no let…
The proposed changes to the web server config file have now been made. It’s a fair bit more efficient in there now, and more importantly, I can actually (mostly!) read it. It was like a ruddy birds nest before! The httpd process size has dropped by about 1Meg (meaning it should scale a bit better)…
I think a better idea would be to give each user the ability to block certain users and/or certain IP addresses from commenting in their diary. That way if someone leaves a nasty comment in a user’s diary, that user can block that person from ever commenting again. Or perhaps that user might be given…
Hi guys, Sorry to be a nuisance, but I am still experiencing some odd problems with the web site – www.deardiary.org. Now, its possible that its my ISP, as they use a transparent HTTP proxy AND a transparent NameServer proxy. However, I can’t guarantee that, and as such I can’t guarantee that others aren’t seeing…
We just got this as comment to a previous entry, we feel we should respond. That’s complete bull. Diaries…opinions…free speech, right? If someone wants to leave a comment, they have every right to do so. It is the diarist’s choice to delete the comment and ignore it. This is possibly one of the most hypocritical…
Now the server stuff is out of the way we can hopefully get some time to do the things we enjoy again! And use the system for more than just the sake of it 🙂 A while back, we ran an entry on our take on leaving nasty comments on kids diaries. Shortly after that…
That moving a server means moving IP addresses. Moving IP addresses of a nameserver means dealing with Network Solutions to get the host record changed. Dealing with Network Solutions is like selling your soul to the devil only MUCH MUCH more painful. So we transferred the domains to Easyspace 🙂 However, as a result, we…
The upgrade is finally, I think, complete. At least from the point of view of DearDiary users. There’s some system admin chud that needs to be finalized and obviously over the next few days we will find bits and bobs that need sorting I have no doubt. I am glad to say however that no…
Firstly we’d like to express our apologies for the downtime of the server today. Steve has been working flat out getting the new server online all day and it looks like it might finally be heading in the right direction. We’ve just (far) more than doubled the size of the server that runs all of…
The database and entire service for ALL Atomic Systems is being transported to a new server. Expect intermittent service and total failures throughout today. Normal service should be resumed by this evening. Indeed, better than normal service because if its just normal service (ie slow in the evenings!) then we wasted our time and $500…
