Bloomberg to Obama: Stay Out of NYC
Posted on 10/30/2012 5:16:13 PM PDT by boop
Why is Free Republic so slow to load, and when it does, it throws me off and I get the "Cannot connect" message from Windows. And it's NOT just during debates. It's happening all the time now. Is it just MY computer? I know HuffPo is down because of the storm, but FR is out of California. In the 12 years I've been here I've never had so much trouble with this site. Until about a month ago.

Cool.
Rita, I run into this all the time. When it seems like the post has not loaded dont believe it. It loaded. You can refresh the thread in another window and you will see your post there. Just go close the posting window that is still 'thinking'. Works every time.
Ahhhhhh. I’ve seen the movie many times but that just didn’t register with me. Thanks
Too many Progressive Idiots posting their crappola.
Awesome!
This too shall pass. We’ll get through it. It might make us gray-headed and grumpy, but we’ll get through it.
OMG I am back in business ! FR just fine and PERKY now ! like back to the way it was BEFORE !
After all day Monday and Tuesday, the times when I was on, FR was next to impossible, and also other sites, except those without all the extra stuff. With great difficulty I did manage to do a post.
THE CHANGE occurred somewhere between around 10pm and 11pm EastCoast time - when I had been continuing with SLOW SLOW, and then went off to do something and when I came back found that it was ALL FIXED and back to NORMAL !
SOMETHING CHANGED SUDDENLY. Since it began early hours, that is when I first noticed, of Monday, I had been thinking it had to do with the storm - and *somebody* fooling around with the internet.
FYI
I have copied all the directions to change settings on FR but so far have not done any yet - I dont do refreshes much. I do plan to do those suggestions tho. But am getting near instantaneous responses right now.
For the debates I have lost FR totally around an hour before they began and unable to get back till hours after.
NO GRAY HAIR FOR ME, EVER!
Keep smiling and be of good cheer. FR is working perfectly right now! Sleep days - stay up all night!
Yep and it started earlier as if someone flipped a switch. My money says, they did, and the switch was in NY.
Yep, NY, NY.
I hate to call it a night. What the heck will the morning bring?
I don’t know where you got your information, justlurking, but all offers of professional help have not been spurned, publicly or otherwise.
Security is a legitimate reason for John to deny anyone access to the FR servers, databases, software, etc. Suppose John accepted an offer and then that person was banned at some later date. John then has to deal with someone who knows the code and the configuration AND has a grudge. Been there, done that. It ain’t fun.
Even if security weren’t a concern, lack of knowledge about the software & hardware environment is. Having someone attempt to troubleshoot the problem could ultimately make John’s job more difficult because he has to answer basic questions about the environment every few minutes. “Where’s this/that? Why did you do it this/that way? What might happen if we change this/that?” It’s a frustration he doesn’t need.
Jim & John aren’t being difficult, prideful, or stubborn. They’re doing what they can with the resources they have in a tough situation.
We shall see. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!
Bump! Good night, God bless and keep you and your precious family, dearest Tex!
LOL. OKay, no bed bugs here!
God bless and keep you, houeto!
Watch out for those NY routers!
I want clear sailing later this morning.
SSSSSShhhhhhhhhhhhh, Keep quiet or everybody will be doing it!
I thought you were clearing out?
Are you really gone?
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
I posted the following to JR on another thread last week. I’m posting it here as a reference.
As an experienced software developer and unix systems & database administrator, it wears me out when people make blanket statements without any intimate knowledge of the operating environment. Alerting management and administrators that a problem exists and expressing the level of its severity is acceptable. Making suggestions is acceptable. Offering help is acceptable. Making blanket statements about what is obviously the problem and how easy it is to fix are unacceptable and unappreciated.
No, it is absolutely not a simple matter to “upload the code” to a “new hosting company.” Software is designed, coded, and configured to run in specific operating environments. Generally speaking, changing operating environments requires configuration changes at multiple places: the network, the hardware, the operating system, the database(s), and the software. It can and usually does require changes to the actual software, meaning how the software is written. Unless the operating environment was specifically designed to be portable across platforms and environments (most aren’t), it probably isn’t easily ported.
Troubleshooting performance issues is also not a simple matter. It is almost always not a matter of “either this or that.” It is almost always a combination of solutions, which means a combination of resources must be examined in multiple combinations at multiple times from multiple perspectives: network, hardware, database, and software. Money is rarely the easy answer. When it is, the IT staff hollers “Yeehaw!” and gets to work, eager to fix the damn thing and be done with the complaints.
Nah. I am WideAwake.

Well, I spoke too soon, and too hopefully. A few hours later, response time got bad again. FR is pretty good - having no problem posting this, so far - but other sites mostly I cant even get them to come up all the way.
