Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Which one did you end up using? I'm sure there are PHP implementations that don't scale either, but I'm merely talking hypotheticals here.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

TVTropes uses PmWiki. I have modified the source extensively. I made a bunch of revisions to the source, to provide additional features. These, unfortunatelly, were related to the file layout of the 1.(whatever) release. Which layout changed radically for the 2.x release.

So, I can't tell you anything about PmWiki 2.x out of personal experience.

There were some performance issues .. leaks and whatnot ... that I patched over. I don't know if these were addressed in later Pm releases. I can tell you that my version of Pm is cranking 500K+ hits, all out of cache, with only a gig of ram hardware.

Does the last bit of this quote belong back to Angel?

Probably. You do know you can, as an admin, edit quotes, right?

eta: Also, I think quote fixes better belong in B'cacy than here, since they're not a technical issue.

Which isn't to read like a reprimand, but I don't know how to get the tone right in text.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I vacillated. Sorry. And also, yeah, I seem to vaguely remember that. Can't actually work out how, though. I'm sure it's something obvious, so I'll go ahead and exhibit my shame now in advance.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I just noted some probably shouldn't be unexpected behavior by the post continuation routine. The break point for this post:

tina f. "Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach" Mar 8, 2006 9:25:39 pm PST

fell right in the middle of an italics tag. Which meant that the italics continued on through the header for the next post. The system also appears to have stripped out the closing tag from the continued line in the following post, as well, so the italics continued on down the page.

I'm not sure it's worth fixing, because the circumstances where it happens are pretty rare, but there it is.

It should go on the list. Which I'm not actually sure is being maintained. I haven't seen Am Chau around in a while.

Anyone else want to do the honours?

I'm here, ita; just lucking more due to time constraints. And I confess I haven't updated the list in some time.

(Err... more than a year. It seemed like a good idea to add the date, at the time...)

I have added DX's request (since he said, "I'm not sure it's worth fixing"), to the second section 'things which may not need to be done', though to be honest the things in the first section aren't all that clear, either.

If anyone wants to add any other changes, I have time at the moment and could make them; alternatively, if someone else wants to take it over long-term, I'd be happy to hand it over.

Hi! I summoned Am Chau!

If you are here, and do have time, then by all means, keep on keeping on.

Of course, what super-powered ita said.

Am-Chau, if you ever do need any help, just let me know, OK?
