05.19.08 by Widge @ 5:24 pm So I monitor all incoming links to the site. I do this because I'm an attention whore--and you know this, because I admit this to you freely. I saw one that appeared to be interesting: a blog called Worthless Stuff. They appear to live up to their namesake by slagging off things they consider to be bad. And we're their Worthless Blog of the Day! Here's the first part of their review: Imagine that guy in highschool that was really odd, and whenever things came out of his mouth, you couldn't really tell if they were serious or just really bizzare? Yeah, well that's this blog, with a little but of advertising around it. Oh wait, did I say little advertising? No there's a ton actually. And then there's a link to "Read More". So I can't wait to hear the rest of this, so I click it and...  Categorized as: Admin

05.10.08 by Widge @ 4:09 pm  Well, not to share too much with you folks, but I was apparently the proud recipient of a kidney stone last night. So I had a hot date with about 18mg of morphine and a trip to the emergency room. Not, however, in that order. Posting for the next little bit while be a bit erratic as I have a bottle of percosets here to keep me from trying to claw my face off due to the pain. Men, they say it's the closest you can come to experiencing what women deal with during childbirth. If more men went through this fun, there would never be a need to remind people to adopt. There'd be a worldwide queue for when kids became available. I'd also like to apologize to any children who might have been in the emergency room at the time, as I'm sure you learned lots of fun words. So...talk amongst yourselves. This stuff may cause sedation. And this one of the only times you'll ever hear me welcome sleep. Categorized as: Admin

04.30.08 by Widge @ 5:16 pm Here was mine: Direct link for the feedreaders. We think we might have nailed down that PITA problem with the server that's been causing us grief: a hard drive was having an I/O error. If you don't know what that means, imagine Flynn from Tron saying it and it won't matter. Many thanks to our server support team for sending in ninjas. We should be better1 now. If we're not, ping me. 1 "Better" in this context means the server, not our personalities, personal lives or levels of required medication. We are still well and truly fucked in those areas.

04.25.08 by Widge @ 9:36 pm Okay, the site translation is offline until I can figure out for certain one way or the other if that's causing our issue with making the site database barf all over itself. That was the cause of the not-brief-enough outage earlier today. I've also gone in and optimized our database tables in the hope that maybe that will make everything behave. But the translation stays off until I can figure out WTF is giving us these rather spectacular craters in our server uptime. Thanks to everybody for their help. Categorized as: Admin
