The Slashdot Effect
February 21st, 2005, No Comments
robots.net has been slashdotted again so mod_virgule is getting a good stress test today. So far it’s holding up with no problems. One amusing thing about being slashdotted is that you get a lot of emails from people you haven’t heard from in a while congratulating you on the event.
Advogato Weirdness
January 13th, 2005, No Comments
I’ve noticed that Advogato has been suffering from the same mysterious, random file loss problem that hit robots.net a while back. As best I can tell this is due to a race condition in the “out of disk space” patch. My problems ended once I reverted the patch in my mod_virgule codebase. On the upside, [...]
Random News Updates

Halloween We didn’t have many trick-or-treaters stopping by our house to stock up on candy last Halloween, so we’re not planning on much activity this year. And we don’t have any Halloween costume parties in our plans either. You won’t even find a pumpkin with a candle inside at our house this year. But even [...]
Free Software
October 4th, 2004, No Comments
I’ve also been catching up on a couple of free software projects the last couple of weeks. I’ve posted a new version of my fork of the mod_virgule code that includes the latest patches to the official version. It also includes several new features from my ToDo list including a configurable sitemap and article index [...]
Movies, Ultracaps, and mod_virgule
June 23rd, 2004, No Comments
Advogato has been down for something like three weeks now. I’m beginning to wonder if it will ever come back! I asked around on the Gimp IRC channel and learned that the server lost a power supply. Meanwhile, the nigritude ultramarine page is hovering around 12-15 in the Google results. There just aren’t enough inbound [...]
Mod_Virgule Update
May 8th, 2004, No Comments
I found some time to package up and release my latest mod_virgule code. This release brings my fork back up to date with the official code including the recentlog, project, and article permalinks and the recentllog edit patches (which oddly don’t appear on Advogato – is it not running the latest version anymore?). I’ve also [...]
Mod_Virgule Update
April 15th, 2004, No Comments
I’ve been spending a little more time working on mod_virgule again. I’ve applied a modified version of the “forgot my password” patch and several other patches to bring my fork back up to date with the official version. I should have the new source packaged up shortly for anyone who wants to play with it. [...]
mod_virgule and UTF-8 weirdness
October 31st, 2003, No Comments
I’m seeing more and more UTF-8 related issues pop up in code lately for some reason. Much of the debugging work I’ve done with the ODP XML dumps has been tracking down illegal XML characters and invalid UTF-8 byte sequences. Now I’ve run across a related bug in mod_virgule. The trust metrics on robots.net stopped [...]
