I know,
I know since yesterday and have now fixed a bug that prevented the first page to be loaded from the faq's cache.
You know can browse the faq again, (at least most of its pages), but you can't edit, vote or add topics)

Seems the database is down, and I can't raise the Doc... I'd probably have to complain to dreamhost, but the support contact info is hidden in their account panel.

Anybody got the Doc's phone No.?

Synthetic: Although the DB is down TP did implement a page caching system so if you can get into the FAQ a lot of pages are still available for viewing - try going in via my sig, for example. You couldn't vote, edit or add them or view the recent changes or most visited but you can still get at most of the popular ones while the problem is being fixed

a server-side caching system?

how does that work?

grabs the two parameters the faq takes from a browser, secures them (ie, checks if they're valid),
builds a filename from them, looks if cached\filename does exist, if so, fputhroughs() that file, dies. Otherwise, builds the page dynamically.
add a function to build said file, and a switch to rebuild the file even if there is a cached version, add that part to every place the file is changed -> nice server side caching system. Eat's diskspace, though.

so long,

Tyberius Prime

Thanks TP atleast it's viewable for the most part

Don't ask me how, but the Faq is working again!


(just as I was about to call the Doc, too. Well, maybe another reason to call him will show up one day ;-) )

enjoy,

Yah, I got this fixed, we had some glitch in Dreamhost where the SQL hostname became, well, not there anymore. But it was, so it couldn't be created again! Really, they should know by now to simply pass me along to the tech department, if I call support it means that something is broken, not me being an idiot. ;-) Sorry I've been so quite lately, I am *so* overwhelmed with jobs to do right now, and also fighting this summertime urge I have to do, well, nothing at all. Ah well! I gotta run, I need to complete 3 impossible tasks by the end of the month, fun!


Your pal, -doc-

hey, Doc, what's the policy on your phone number? is it a open or do occasions such as this merit special circumstances?

Hey, if you need to, I guess you could call. Don't be too shocked if I'm majorly freaked out about it, I have a severe phone phobia, and I hate talking on the phone, ugh. (shudder) You might also wonder if you actually have my correct number, I tend to lie about such things, heh heh.


Your pal, -doc-

*mental note* ask for Mailin when calling Doc's house...

*mental note* don't call Doc cause he lives in Switzerland which is majorly far away and costs about $7.00 a minute to call. Use this wonderful medium called the net and chat with doc sometime.

You know...I've always wanted to talk to the Doc real time.

me, too.... it's not like I would actually call his house, but then again I'm not in charge of one of his ~experimentations~...

oh, Skaarjj, come on- you know no one can get ahold of Doc when they need him...

Just a small correction, Skaarjj, Doc lives in Sweden, not Switzerland...

which, from germany, costs only about a cent more than a longdistance call...

I was just curious. When did Tyberius Prime become a Mad Sci?

Tyberius Prime became Mad Scientist when FAQWiki (his PHP creation) was made public...
