some quick questions: do you update your journal (on here) regularly? is scribbld your primary journaling site? do you use any other journal server besides scribbld to update and keep in touch with people with? if so, which one(s)?

what kind of cell phone plan do you have? does it get good service? are the phones nice? is your monthly plan cheap?


i'm looking into getting one myself because, long story short, my dad screwed me over and i haven't had a cell phone for almost 5 months and that is REALLY hard being a teenager, haha. so if you could help me out, it would be great.

Weekend Over!
August 17th, 2008 at 07:12pm CMMNT?

music • // Armor For Sleep - "Being Your Walls" /

Well starting with Friday, I got a bunch of work done in the AM. I actually had a fair amount, more then I thought I would have. I did a lot of preparation for the server work we did this weekend. Obviously I didn't get everything covered because we did hit a few snags while upgrading the servers. So after I got my work done I got all my gear packed up and headed to where the servers are kept. I worked on more prep work while there and then [info]emilie came. She bought some stuff I forgot which was good.

Around 1pm the guy from GMA came out and checked over our lines and everything. We ended up splitting the voice and data wires and then we ran a cable directly from the data lines and pretty much right into the modem. Definitely noticed a BIG improvement and now I've noticed 0 disconnections since yesterday which is awesome. So now Scribbld should be up and running at 100%!

I don't think anything spectacular happened on Friday night. I attempted to get to bed early so that I could wake up early and start working at 8am like I mentioned.


.... interruption....

I just sent this photo to Keith, he should obviously get this instead of iPhone --


.... ok back to your regularly scheduled program ....

So I woke up a bit later then I had wanted to on Saturday, but by 8:20am we were working on the server. The first snag we hit was that one of the web servers wouldn't connect to the Internet. it's NIC module wasn't be loaded. Fortunately after some poking around and chatting on #Gentoo I got it working and made sure it loaded up on boot too.

The next snag we hit was the server to be Scribbld 1 ran some rather new hardware so it had trouble finding the hard drive. After bother #Debian I remembered the last time we installed Linux on it we had to use this special custom build which included drivers for all this new stuff. So after getting a bootable USB key we got the base system installed.

The last major snag we hit was we forgot to snag the Last.fm code from the development box so that feature was "disabled" until we could get to it today.

[info]morgan and I worked until 10pm or so last night. We pretty much finished up all the big things and had about 8-10 smaller things left to do today. We did 2-3 of them today, the rest we'll complete over the course of the next 2 weeks. I don't expect it to take that long though.

[info]emilie and I went to the barn this afternoon, played with the kitties, Bethany did really well in her A circuit show this past week. We almost brought another kitty home, we'll see. When I got home I added the Last.fm code and made sure it worked and it did. I'm just working on another Gentoo install for a private WoW server. I am hoping I can bring the databases over from the old percheron install, but you never know.

Alright, I think it's time to go relax and no more computer!

System Upgrade 98% Complete
August 17th, 2008 at 05:16pm 5CMMNT?


system

Hey kids!

We've just completed most of the upgrade, I know I promised Last.fm integration, but unfortunately, I've left one line of code on our dev machine (which I don't currently have access to at the moment) that will make it work 100%. I know exactly where the line of code is so on Monday I will insert that one line of ode, restart the server and then the Last.fm functions should work and the server will be at 100%. At this time, pretty much everything on the site should work, please use the support queue to report any issues you may be having and we'll look into it.

I am hoping that all cluster 2 users are okay, I don't see why they wouldn't be, but you never know!

So yeah, enjoy and definitely let us know of issues!

Update: We're now at 100% - all clusters are updated, online and running, we've updated the last bit of code that allows Last.fm integration! Test it out, test it all out, let us know how it all works for you! Submit any issues you have to the support section of the website!

Thanks everyone!

SUBMISSION POST FOR 08/22/08
August 15th, 2008 at 09:37pm CMMNT?


honorcup

[umbreon]

Post submissions here!

1. Graphics should be no larger than 600x400 and should be in either .gif, .jpeg or .png format.

2. Do not submit honors regarding children under 13.

3. Do not submit honors with private information, such as full name including last name, address, telephone number, pictures or screen name, UNLESS they are publicly accessible (userinfo, myspace, etc.) at the time of submission.

4. Save the honoring for the submission posts. The concept of this community becomes pointless when everyone reveals who submitted the honors.

5. DO NOT SUBMIT HONORS ABOUT YOURSELF. Nobody would know (some of us could probably guess), but you'd feel pretty lousy if you needed to make yourself an honor to boost your self-esteem. If we find out you've made an honor for yourself, or if it looks like it was made for yourself, we will delete it immediately.

6. Do not submit honors that contain nudity of a minor, nudity of minors can be considered Child Pornography. In this case, a minor is anyone under 18.

7. ALL IMAGES MUST BE UPLOADED TO EITHER TINYPIC.COM OR IMAGESHACK.US

8. Until further notice us mods have decided to turn off anon commenting. You will need to be logged into your Scribbld account to submit your honors. The comments are always screened so no one else will see them.

9. Also, we really only need the URL of the image you're using for your honors. There's no need to post the image itself too in your comment.


The next honors will be posted by [info]roark on Friday, August 22nd. And don't forget to submit a username for the lj-cut of the week!

mood working

First I must apologize for not leaving comments as of late. I've been really busy consulting, working my horse, working at the barn, getting paper work done for my new job at the University and in-between spending some time with [info]emilie. I've also been working hard at making sure we get a much more reliable connection between our ISP and our servers.

A guy from our ISP actually came out today and had a look at it all, I had him drill a direct line from our telephone box right into the server room. So now the modem has a direct connection to the phone box and it should be much better. Things seem to be fixed.

Tomorrow we'll be working on upgrading our entire systems setup. I've started a couple things right now, but the majority of it will get done tomorrow. We'll be starting at 8am and I hope to have everything back up and running by the late afternoon tomorrow if not sooner. It's definitely going to be pretty hectic but we'll get it all done.

I think I'll be getting to bed relatively early tonight, got to be up early tomorrow. I am hoping if it's nice in the evening, I'll be able to go out riding, but who knows. Have a nice weekend everyone, I'll attempt to get some commenting done!

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the unannounced outtage. We just had the techs from our ISP come and check out the disconnection issues between us and them. Everything looks to be running a lot smoother now.

Remember, tomorrow starting at 8AM EST Scribbld will be offline along with all of our services. We'll be upgrding our codebase and moving our main web server to the Quad-Core box.

We thank you for your patience and understanding!
