Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hmmm...

Looking at the system stats, it turns out there is always a system spike on weekdays between 11:00am and 1:00pm board time.

Today's spike was a little larger than usual; the board did slow down at the time the quote generator was reenabled, but there's no way to establish if those two events were correlated.

We need to see if the performance of the board is impacted over several days.

I can make pretty graphs, if you like.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I can make pretty graphs, if you like.

Shiny!

As one who was griping about a big slowdown, I have to say that it does seem much faster now. I'd be very interested to know what shows up with a little more time (and pretty graphs).

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

We could always tie the random quote generator to a cron job, have the quote change only once a day...

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yep. I proposed that ages ago. However, as ita pointed out, that requires work. :)

Hey! Changing quotes! Sweeeeeet....

I notice no degradation of service.

I'm on my dial-up at home, no noticeable difference in speed.

Swouncing

I didn't notice any difference in speed, nor before neither after I noticed the change.

Also, if we see that the RQG can stay, I already have a bunch of "Firefly" quotes to e-mail whomever it is who may put them up there, as well.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

RQG is back! Yay. I am not noticing the board being any slower. Hoping it can stay.

Hey, I have a stupid question... Who was it that set up the latest LAistas mailing list? Was that Tom C? Whoever it was, could you kindly send me an email at my profile addy? It would be greatly appreciated.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

The board is trying to prevent another Tim-centered gender debate in Minearville, as I got this when I tried to post:

Warning: error_log: Unable to write to /home/httpd/vhosts/buffistas.org/httpdocs/phoenix/ www.buffistas.org/logs/20040307_log.html in /home/httpd/vhosts/buffistas.org/httpdocs/classes/giles.php on line 52

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Okay, where the $$&#&(@#& are the developers?

That said, the post did actually go through.
