| Network Maintenance: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 04:00-06:00 UTC/GMT |
[Nov. 11th, 2009|02:00 pm] |
On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice.
Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials.
We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait!
As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work. |

First block of a new semester. Over and done. Action script and those embedded codes are some real killers. Thank you Joseph Jude Gomes for helping out(seeeeee I'm grateful okay). Video Production and screenwriting next! Oh ya, I did something magical to this particular photo and it's a total master piece. :B

"Rachel, are you a follower or a leader? Because right now, there's already 3 following you."
Truth is..
I think I'm a follower. |

I wouldn't say I have regretted knowing you, because I have always believed that no matter how disappointing the relationship or friendship is, I will still be able to learn a thing or two. It is just this undeciphered and unknown feeling raging inside, that explains how I truly feel towards you. You haven't got the slightest idea how hard it was for me to build and entrusted you with trust. But you ruined it anyways. You have successfully lost all the degree of integrity I once had for you. I see you now as a piece of unwanted trash, that's so filthy, so discarded from people. You tarnished your own reputation; never have I thought you would actually stoop that low to attain some unnecessary value. I feel sorry for you, it's cliche, but you don't practice what you preach. That's sad. Right this moment, I believe I have all the rights in the world to detest, hate, despise you, because you caused the fall of my other friendships. But, I shan't dwell on it, instead I shall handle it as best and as democratically as possible.
But in any case, thank you for you have driven a blessing in disguise to my driveway ;)

If the sky's the limit and we all know that it's unreachable, then what IS the limit?
Maybe one day, you'll come to realize that some things were just not meant to be. |

Having a higher seniority level doesn't give you a one way ticket to be unreasonable. Your temper could easily set this house ablaze with just a fucking sneeze from you. |

| LiveJournal Major Notes: Spam counter-attack, RSS feeds again, CSI Deadly Intent contest |
[Nov. 5th, 2009|01:15 pm] |
The empire strikes backIn recent weeks, we've taken huge steps towards blocking spam accounts on LiveJournal. In fact, we've suspended as many as 30,000 accounts in a single day! We've implemented several pre-emptive measures to prevent the creation of spam accounts, and we've honed our detection of suspicious content. Spam bots are a crafty lot, so we'll continue to refine our tactics and keep up the good fight to keep you safe from spam attacks on LiveJournal.
RSS feeds againIf you're addicted to , ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) icanhaschzbrgr, or other syndicated feeds, we're pleased to report that we've resolved the update error that was mucking up your RSS feeds. While content was being pulled correctly, it wasn't being posted to the feeds themselves. Late last week, we finally nailed down what we hope was the root problem, so content should post properly. We thank you for your patience.

Time, is not yours for the taking. Use it wisely without acting on impulse. Learn to love the time system. Run! Hide! Be that fool you always knew. |
