Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

404s are returned by the web server, if you ask for a page that it doesn't think exists.

Oh. Of course. Don't know what I was thinking there.

Is every page request on the server logged? If so, and if you knew the time the error occured and the IP address of the user, could you look at the log to find out exactly what the browser was asking for?

My guess is that this isn't the problem--that the browser requests that result in a 404 are in fact correct, but if it's easy to do then we could rule out client-side wonkiness.

I just have a few little things to change. Then I need software to load-test the server (which I can do myself once I have the software).

Fibre optics: healthier than eye candy.

I'm getting a 504 Gateway Timeout error at buffistas.org, and it seems like I'm not the only one. What's going on?

just passing it on...

But I'm in now-- I guess it was just a blip at my end, or in the big wide internet somewhere.

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.

I had problems connecting to the site too. It was like that for at least an hour or so. It was not just this site ether. Its working now though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is really minor, but can we put a space or something in "donations@ buffistas.org" where ever it is on the site? It's not a mailto: link or anything is it? Just because most of the spam I get is from that address.

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

It is a mailto, and most spiders will grab the mailto instead of/as well as what's displayed.

Oh, OK then. It's nice to be able to just click through. I can deal.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

And once the spammers got you, they never let go. I continue to get spam at my work email, even though I took it off my web page years ago.
