I knew if I waited long enough, somebody else would ask that question. Thanks sean and ita.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Anyone see the notice at livejournal.com on how the are handling their database issues?
I hope you're all enjoying the speed of the site today and yesterday. We're continuing converting all popular and intensive database queries into using our memcached system instead. We're not done, though... we have one last query to convert, and then most of our 20 million+ page views per day won't even hit the databases. Because the databases are generally the limiting factor, involving slow moving parts, removing our dependence on them keeps making the site faster.

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

Yes, it was very fast. It quite snappily brought you to a random page in a random journal, rather than the page you really wanted.

I think they had some bugs to stomp.
But the memcaching sounds useful.

To be fair, it stopped doing that when they finished the transfer. But it was kinda fun during the random-hangover time this morning.

It was all Greek to me (erm...literally, I was posting to a friend, and ended up in a journal written in Greek).

So. Um. Any chance we can get the Quote of the Day going?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not going to have the resources to code until the end of the month -- if it's deemed urgent and anyone else wants the job, it's all theirs.

Didn't mean to badger, I was just wondering. It's not as though it's actually important.

Can it be changed manually, you know, just to confuse everyone again? (:
Seriously, take as long as you need. I'm still trying to figure out why it would have been like Woodstock. If every person who claimed to be at Woodstock was actually there it would have been like something completely different. I don't know what.
