At the moment, there's not much to see, obviously, but come Monday we will back to business as usual even if we have to hand code the web pages.
Please forgive the delay.
Almost forgot. If anyone has some suggestions on how to handle excess postgresql connections, you can contact me at grurkka@gmail.com This has been a vexing problem for sometime, and any help or suggestions would be most helpful
Oh, and while we were running around in circles with that, we went over 300,000 archived articles.

I have go to say this, I have been suffering from Rantburg Withdrawal for the last 2 days, and none of my meds have been helping, not the Gin and Tonic, not the Scotch and water, nor the 7&7's ... I've started to get the DTs, for the occasional hits of news I've been going to FOX and Drudge, but it doesn't have the "Buzz" Rantburg gives me...

Not being a techie, I have nothing to add ... but I also have been suffering from Rantburg withdrawal. Not so much yesterday, though - spent all day at a local community market, vending my books and my daughter's origami art.
Today I am recovering from the exertion ... look, spending all day outside in Texas in MAY will take a toll. Even if we were under the shade of our booth most of the time, we are both quite comprehensively unburned.
I did miss you today - and wondered what the heck was going on!

I'd like to see some comments on this news tomorrow on the Burg:
http://news.yahoo.com/iran-says-copied-us-drone-181934723.html;_ylt=AwrSyCMO329TIRkAjCDQtDMD
Recalling the drone lost in Iran in 2011, refusal to destroy it, polite request from BhO to return it...

I've been suffering mightily with Rantburg Tremens.
Thanks to all those techie people who helped (sorry I'm not one of them, but I do click through Rantburg every time I buy from Amazon, which I guess helps a little).

So glad you are back. Places where sanity is common are rare.

As the Doc reminds us, we have a safe haven for times when the 'Burg is down, the Wheelus Machine Shop Break Room. It can be depended on in those rare times when we can't have nice things.
You can leave messages there when you can't here or in the O-club.

The problem's the bots. I was watching the Apache log (and top) reflect connection after connection while we couldn't get in--virtually all the connections years ago. We've got twice the memory and twice the processors as the previous machine now, which is why we only crash occasionally.
Obviously what I was trying with the switch wasn't what works!

Thanks, Bad. I've bookmarked that again. Lost all my old favorites when I changed computers, and am still trying to catch up.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
