Tech Note
 I've been working under the hood since our comments freeze in the middle of the week. I've killed an entire swarm of bugs that have been existing in the hidden corners of our digital cupboard, even though they weren't the cause of the freeze. (I did fix the other problem, at least for another few years...)I'm embarking on an extensive rewrite of much of the Burg, starting with the main page. If interested, you can follow the progress at cindex.php. You'll be able to watch as I create a duplicate in appearance of the front page, with significantly different code and (I'm hoping) database behind it. I've been getting a slew of requests for access to archived material in the past few days, implying that one of the bugs I fixed tightened up the access to the way it was supposed to be. On the other hand, I got a request from one long-time member, which says there's another bug to be killed there. I just have to find it. Except for things like that, I'm trying not to make any significant changes to the existing Burg, for fear of breaking something else. If I do, let me know. If there's an improvement you'd like to see, also let me know and we can all argue about it. It's a rainy day today and it's a gym day. When I come back from making myself gasp and wheeze like a beached whale I'm going to try and put the comments into the new version. Posted by: 2012-03-25 |
