ANNOUNCEMENT: Possible good news regarding our server

Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

Some good news perhaps. John says he has found a problem with one of the servers and he's going to try to configure around it. But it'll take him a couple hours or more before he's ready to test it. Hang in there. Prayers up that it works!

             Z O O O O M !


             

Have been opening a bunch of threads (that hadn't been hit before so they couldn't have been cached) and things seem to be MUCH better for the moment !

Still a little laggy on the preview button, but it's night/day from last night and this morning, Jim.

[MomwithHope]

THANK YOU for all you do for the rest of us.

[Lady Jag]

Jim and JohnRob have the
fastest hamsters on earth.

[tomkat]

O, check this out .. we might be here tomorrow after all !              :-)

[Jim Robinson]

Haven’t received an official update yet after John’s latest configuration change, but haven’t had any timeouts in the last twenty minutes or so either. Not lightening fast, but looks like she’s holding up under the load ok. Praying.

[MestaMachine]

nginx/ seems to have done it!!! Yay, John!
Running like a champ!

[old and tired]

Jim, I’m saying some prayers this works. Hang in there buddy. I know I’m not the only one who really needs FR.

[Jim Robinson]

Load averages a little high, but she’s holding.

[onyx]

Already working better!

[RogerWilko]

I’m noticing a HUUUUGGGEEE improvement!

Something happened for SURE!

[shove_it]

BUMP!

[jazusamo]

FR has speeded up for me by about 20X. Just posted a Sowell thread and it seems like it’s back to par.

Thank you both!!

[tomkat]

It ain't Gargle fast, but none of us expect that !

(well, prolly a few meatheads, but not most of us ;-)

I hereby request a helping of crow .. have a feeling John doesn't see many of his pings, but tell 'em this ol'fella says "outstanding !"

[The Cajun]

6Gb DSL connection, page refresh time 3-8 seconds, I’ll drink to that..................Finally.

[CJ Wolf]

Much better sir! Hope it Holds.

[Revolting cat!]

Its woikin!

[onyx]

THANK YOU, GENIUS JOHN!

[onyx]

LOLOLOL. Don’t start drinking THIS early!

[TChris]

I miss my VAX. But I don’t think it could handle this load.

If you want to invest in a real workhorse of a server, may I humbly recommend a Sun SPARC Enterprise T5440. They are scalable to become quite a monster, as needed. But they can be pricey.

As someone once said: If you need to serve dozens of users, use a Windows server. If you need to serve hundreds or thousands, use a Sun.

[MomwithHope]

MUCH better thank you. I will be alone tomorrow night watching election returns (hubby away) and I hope to be able to get on FR.
