12:20 AM - JJ stuff

I released the c# source tonight for the windows client. see the site journal and status pages (open source) for more on that. Its GPL due to the LJ.net client code reuse :)

We have 60 accounts on JJ. Most of the new accounts are due to evan (richard) pushing the site :)

There are over 700 journal entries on the site so far. Sadly i had more news articles on foolishgames.com That also took 9 years. I'm sure i have the most posts.

I decided to shut down the DoD server for now since its not getting used. I'm trying to track down a performance issue with mysql and foolishgames.net That issue is causing performance problems on JJ as well. It looks like at least 2 sql queries happen for each recent post shown on the page. I've seen the number go over 100 queries for that page. If its cached, its .2 seconds with my new index, but if its not cached its well over 5 seconds. That is way to long for a page to show up. Without hacking the database heavily and the php code i can't fix it though. I may just implement some java code and throw out e107 at this point. I've said that before...

Over the holidays i plan on working on two projects. JJ and MidnightBSD. I'm hoping to have a code rewrite on the comment viewer, favorites up and change password active by january. I also want the first iso and cvs/cvsup servers going by january for MidnightBSD. I think i'm going to modify WindowMaker for the base distro.

Caryn's asleep.. maybe i shoudl be too. Mental note, I have an HTML/Javascript assignment for thursday morning due.

10:17 AM - JJ API change

I've changed the maximum length of subjects to 255 characters. (was 150) Code will need to be changed.

Also, i'm looking at the LJ protocol http://www.livejournal.com/doc/server/ljp.csp.flat.postevent.html

communities:

And i've been trying to see how they implemented tags.

10:27 AM - Concatination of Music

I've had a few inquiries about music string concatination issues. The maximum length in the sql table is 90 characters so it is definetely on the windows client end. Specifically, Windows media and the like trunicate the string when saving to the registry.
