Down in the bits
Thanks to all who e-mailed yesterday and called to say the site was having problems (barfing MySQL connection errors). The site hosts corrected the problem relatively quickly and we are back in business again. This did get me thinking that maybe the front page of "Off the Top" should be baked (static and not dynamically generated with each hit, which is fried). This would require an XML processing for the page to keep the number of comments (those things you are not using) accurate below each link. This would be some recoding on my part and that will be a little bit off in the furture as my development time and non-work brain time is allocated elsewhere for the next short little bit.
Posted Comments
uh...some of us use the comments...
Uh, yes you do. When the whole thing blows a gasket even comments don't work. There is always text messaging to my cell phone, not quite SMS, but tiny e-mail.
