Well, the good news first. After installing three very sweet machines and new networking equipment, FR is geared up for the onslaught of traffic we anticipate during this election cycle. All that is left is some tuning and bringing online another database server.
The bad news: I goofed horribly this morning and wiped the articles table, a file that stores crucial information for displaying articles.
Fortunately, the data is backed up. I'm working on restoring it, but it may possibly take the rest of the day to bring it back fully.
So don't touch that dial!
UPDATE: Restored a couple million old articles. Still working on the most recent, which need to be restored from incremental backups (very slow!)
TOPICS: Breaking News; Free Republic; News/Current Events

Thanks John. I know you’ve been having problems, and I’m glad things are headed in the right direction now.
I appreciate your efforts to that end.
Take care.

As a database programmer myself: been there, done that, have the t-shirt. It reminds me of the old Jesus Saves joke.
