This is just the page showing the latest bits of news about updates to the site and whatnot.
Slight updates
Entered: 2004-10-18
Edited: 2004-10-18
Type: news
Made a couple changes to the way the site displays the blog entries. First off I changed the posted/modified headers to read started and finished, since I often take several days to acutally finish a story after I start writing it didn't make since for the offical posted date to actually be several days in the past, with an edit date on it. Second I changed the sort order so entries now sort based on the "finished" date. I think I may make that a datetime field sometime soon so that on the rare occiason I update more than once in a day they all line up in the right order. Can you spare a piece of your mind?

New stuff

Quick note. I've made two additions to the site recently. First take a look at the Archives where I've added information on the number of comments and the date of the most recent comment to the summary information. Next I added a link to Thrive my friend Adams band. That's all, have a nice day. Can you spare a piece of your mind? Post and view user comments here! (0)
Site slowness solved

Well I've figured out why the site has been so bloody slow since moving to the new server. The referer log scripts I wrote were doing reverse dns lookups on all visitors so I could log their hostname in addition to their IP addresses, and for some reason on this server rev dns takes a very long time for certian applications. As a temporary fix I've disable reverse dns lookups in the referer scripts to improve performance while I try and figure the real cause of the problems. Can you spare a piece of your mind?

Moving to a new server

This is the first entry into the database of the new server. I've moved acerbic.org (or will have once anyone has read this) off of my cable modem and onto a real server, in a real colo facility. Quite some time ago I helped beta test the services being offered by John Companies and therefore have a FreeBSD colo server for about half the regular price. I've decided to move all of the acerbic.org functions over to this service since it's more reliable and much, much faster than any service I could offer over a cablemodem. This is the first test of the mysql database on the newserver. It seems to be working. Can you spare a piece of your mind? Post and view user comments here! (0)
Layout Changes

So I made some changes. You'll notice that site news and journal entries no longer show up on the main page, but instead have their own sub categories (with the date of the last update in parens) I also made a bunch of behind the scenes tweaks to make DB access a little faster and further harmonize the code base for the website.

Journal entries from now on will be strictly of the diary/blog type only relating my daily activities, mood swings and cabin fever symptoms. All of the creative writing will remain on the front page and will be less biographical, except when I've done or gone through something interesting, funny or otherwise worth sharing. In general the essays on the front page will be longer, more refined and less frequent. To that end I've shortened the display to only five articles at a time instead of ten.
The 'weblog' section was renamed Archives and was cleaned up a bit, and may get some more changes in the near future.
