Fixed????

The recent down-time was (among other things) supposed to fix the sluggish response time....right?

Still a bit sluggish here.......Is it me? Is it the scotch?

    • seems speedy to me on dail up lol....

      until this is all rewrote or what ever l'm thankful to get on and not get kicked off... well tonight thats going well....

      thanks darin it was worth one painful day hanging out on FB and myspaz
      • FW, FB is pure evil Devil shit yo!!! Thou shalt not, uh, unless you want to. I went on MySpace for like 5 minutes today. That shit sux total donkey massive.
        • dude! you're still using myspace and facebook? Its all about the twitter now. I <3 me some twitter.
          • I don't use FB and as I stated I went on MySpace for like five minutesand think it sux total ass. I just heard of twitter on the news last night. They were talking about companies that watch twitter and contact people regarding what they post. Like some lady that had some issue with some big copulation, uh, corporation, and the company called her up and helped resolve her problem. Something like this. I actually wrote it down and had forgotten about it till you mentioned it. I'll have to check it out. People call me a twit quite frequently so possibly it will be my spiritual ancestral home. Oh yes. Sweet blissful sanctuary. Hmm.

            • I just tried twitter, and then promptly untried it. I don't get it. I mean, I got the theory, but it wasn't for me. Gimme mah tribe. Never seen better yet. Even now, as it staggers along, half (or less) functional, I still prefer it to any other service. I think that says something besides that I'm possibly insane.
              • Yeah, I agree.

                Who really gives a shit what you're doing RIGHT NOW?

                I mean, seriously.
                • I actually use Twitter, but mostly as kind of a note card for phrases or sayings I want to record for posterity. Most people don't understand my babblings such as "Smell my carbon footprint, bitch!"
  • I just wrote yesterday off. I'm amazed anyone could get on . Today it 's working great!

    • I hope to have it working even better later on tonight -- gonna prune all the old data from 2003-2004 and see if I can reduce the size of the database even more.
      • seems to run a bit faster when it loads, but it seems to be down a lot (bandwidth issues?) especially around lunch time. Very strange indeed
        • I'm trying to delete PM's, but get the error screen every time! The whole Tribe PM system needs a huge overhaul. It is way too much of a pain in the ass to maintain. I can't just jump to my oldest PM's to start deleting them, and I'm not going to sit there and page thru 100's of times to get to the right page (assuming it doesn't time out 100 times first).

          How's that re-write coming along? It will be August in a week....what are the chances the beta site is available on time? Who wants to bet? ;-)
          • today has been crap. I've seen zero improvement when I have tried to log on.
            • My little head hurts from bangin' it on the keyboard.

              It's a little better this afternoon. I'm just glad to be here . . .

              Anyone have any snacks?

              Just askin' . . .
              • first time today I have been able to log on, sad to say I have seen no improvement :(
                • Darren:

                  Just curious. I'm not seeing an improvement in Tribe performance. In fact, I'm getting way more "What were you doing when the error occurred" messages than ever before.

                  Are you somehow seeing a measurable systemic performance improvement as a result of your database cleanups, or is the cleanup having a positive effect in the background (stability) but not in the direct user interface?

                  I gotta tell you, dude, things are pretty miserable up here in the showroom. I'm looking forward to even the Beta version of something new.
                  • This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
                    I basically pruned about 10 GB of database entries out of the database and reindexed/repaired all the tables. I'm going to archive all PMs that are older than 2006 tonight, which ought to take care of about 30 GB and speed things up a bit. I am deleting non-used tables as well.

                    There may be some weird issues with the old application, but I am slowly resolving those and getting the database ready to run on two different platforms. This weekend I am moving into the new tribe.net cabinet down in Santa Clara as well.

                    Things are happening!

                    D.

                    • awesome!
                      thanks for checking in here.

                      and it was also nice that you updated the maintenance message several times when it ran longer than anticipated. I haven't played connect four in ages ...
                      • Yeah, I just tried to delete some old PM and also got an error. So with the archiving, should we or shouldn't we worry about deleting old msgs? Like Pimpy said, not real easy to delete very old msgs.
                        Thanks Darren for giving us an update.
                        • Twitter is just micro blogging. It gets real old real quick. I use it some, but not everyone has control over whether they should blog every damn thing they do all day or just sit on every detail like normal people.
                          • I've been considering a microblogging component for the new tribe.net -- the same sort of thing Facebook does. Facebook calls it a "status" line. Friendster has it now as well as MySpace. First I'm going to concentrate on duplicating existing functionality, then we'll do some neat tricks.
