You may have noticed that an Instalanche shut down IMAO earlier today. That’s the hazard of WordPress; each page view means a bunch of SQL queries. I thought I had a plugin installed to cache static pages for traffic spikes, but it wasn’t working properly. Hopefully I’ll get that working soon, but until then we better make sure no one notices this site and tries to send it traffic.
UPDATE:
I think the cache is working now (it finally says it’s caching pages). Regular readers shouldn’t see a difference, though; I believe it only uses the cache versions for people who don’t comment.
Super Cache!
Not ready for prime time?
[Heh. That was the title of the e-mail I sent to the other IMAO blogger announcing the problem. -Ed.]
It was awful this afternoon.
“Where’s my IMAO? Where is it?!!!”
Don’t let that happen anymore.
Comment.
Archie!
That kinda makes me want to comment.
Not sure if it was the new IMAO site, or new computer shenanigans at my office, but when I comment at work, my comments circle the drain for a long time before they work. Sometimes they don’t. Plays hell with my fragile ego. I hate flushing twice.
Not sure where I’m going with this, but suffice it to say that I didn’t notice this afternoon’s hiccup.
[Your comments from work go straight to spam for some reason, so I have to manually rescue them. -Ed.]
I blame Wall Street. That’s the cause of the Cache problems in the U.S today.
Thanks for the life preserver, -Ed.
So, how’s the debate going? Anyone? Wrong thread?
It’s like you’re trying to say something to me…
I love Nero and Archie. Some of the best, well written, intelligent mysteries ever produced. Archie was my very first literary crush.
I blame greedy executives wanting to be paid money when they should be committing seppuku.
