Sorry About That

I don't swear very often. In fact, the only two things that can make me say rude words these days are flaky disk drives and database corruption. Oh, and anything that takes my munu off the air can generate some ripe expletives too.

At least we weren't losing $2000 a minute while the system was down - I've been there, don't want to repeat it.

On the other hand, to lose $2000 a minute you'd have to have actual revenues in the first place...

One other thing: Trackbacks and searches (the Movable Type search function) are turned off for now. I'll turn them back on in the morning (my morning - about six hours from now) when I'll be around to keep an eye on things. They were using excessive amounts of memory - hundreds of megs - which would be a problem even if the server wasn't all flaky.

I've just taken a full database backup and shipped it off to the backup server just in case.
