Why was LM down?
« on: January 10, 2009, 04:53:15 AM »
I'm sure most of notice LM being down for a few days.  I had some server trouble.  Had a run-away log file eat up my whole filesystem causing some corruption here and there.  LM was hit.  Anyway noobish mistake on my part to have the logs in the main filesystem, I'll fix that shortly.

I was out of town since Wednesday, so that's why I was unable to fix it until now, didn't have the time.  Everything should be here. Let me know if you notice anything odd.

It seems like the "Show unread posts since last visit." doesn't always work, I seem to miss a lot of new posts.

Oh really?  I haven't noticed, but then again I trust it so I don't go digging around for new posts.  Anyone else notice this problem?

I guess you've been having this issue before the board went down this week?

I never trust that, you also have to be careful with forums saying there are no new posts. As a forum can be marked as read even when there are new topics or posts within the forum. That makes it easy to miss stuff.

The board picks the one time I actually need scripting help to be down for days... dammit. I've been crying 420's name for days! Not really, but... this post needed a little drama so whatever.

Also, Mo, I just got a few "Connection Interrupted" "Connection to the server was reset while loading" messages after trying to post this, as well as a few times afterward while trying to access the index.

Yes I apologize for the connection problems.  I'm doing a lot of bittorrent these days, I seem to be overloading my network with connections due to that.  I will improve before long.

I'm sorry, this is completely unrelated. But your post count is (was if you reply) 1948. Which, if taken as the year, has some significance but I'm not sure why or what it is. Perhaps and event, a book, something from a movie. Not sure. lol. Just couldn't help but mention it.

I looked it up, still didn't find why it's of any significance to me... BUT... I found that this was funny:
"March 17 - The Hells Angels motorcycle gang is founded in California." =D

Why they were never branded a terrorist organization I will never know.
