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

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd have been here sooner, but I was dropping entities into the database.
That needs to be added to the code fix list (eta: converting user name characters into entities where applicable at registration).
Once I've recovered from my exhaustion, I should be available to program again.

I'm not surprised. I reposted the post on the site and I've had 13 comments in under 45 minutes. I think that's a site record.
Everyone wants to give love.
ETA: I saw some people direct linked to the post too.

I guess we should probably take Tim's letter down from the header.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey Gus - what's up?
Did anyone email you to be added to the Midwest list (besides aurelia)? If so, could you email them to me? If they're not already subbed I'll add them.
There are eight members of the list so far....
Edit: Number 7000 is just sitting there....

Done, DX.

Okay. Here are the goals:
- MARCIE -- implement according to previous specs, or revise specs if needed
- Database -- resolve MySQL fake connection pileup. Preliminary options are: restructure MySQL queries or change database back end (PostgreSQL suggested). A change of back end might have other benefits. Rob -- can you share with tommyrot what you gathered back when we were on Hostrocket/Kristen's server? Tommyrot, I've finished setting up a SQL test environment for you. A replica of this MySQL implementation is up and running, with the code dated as of today. PostgresSQL is running, but absolutely nothing is set up for it yet. I'll e-mail you the details.

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

Got it, Tom.
It works.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I took a look at that bad URL sitch with Jilli's post. See: DXMachina "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Mar 31, 2004 8:15:06 pm PST
The good news is that a post only becomes uneditable if the href URL opens with a single quote and ends with a double quote. If the reverse error is made, it can be edited and corrected by the user. Also, the problem *mostly* self-corrects after another post is made. The original post is still messed up, and part of the user/date stamp of the following post is messed up, but posts after that are perfectly normal and the rest of the page isn't affected.
The bad news is that I have no idea how to fix the problem by redesigning the page. I think we need a code fix, like a regex, to fix any badly formed href URLs that are entered.
