My Blog, Or Is It?

I wanted to thank everyone who read, and especially commented on, my My Blog, My Rules post a couple weeks ago.  It's nice to know that people care, and even better to know that they appreciate what I've done.  And apologies to Charlie for the firestorm.
So is this my blog?  Or is it everyone's site, [...]

My Blog, My Rules

Charlie Arehart send me an email the other day  about my Flex charting control and the way it's presented on the site (which is poorly).  I ended up writing a fairly long response that was a bit tangential, but unreasonably so.  The basic premise was that it's my site, and I don't like maintaining web [...]

It's November…

… and that means NaBloPoMo, and this counts.

Back from Vacation

As you may have surmised, I've been on vacation, and a glorious vacation it was. As always with the Boisverts, good food was plentiful. Even with a significantly more active lifestyle than my usual state of existence, I'm sure I gained weight. But as nice as it is, it's always nice to [...]

Outage Update – It's Actually Over

Turns out when I posted last night about the downtime being over, it was a lie.  I managed to hit a window where things worked pretty well, but there were issues through midday today.  Cari has confirmed that the issue has been addressed and no more problems anticipated.  Hopefully they're right.  ;)

More Downtime

Cari.net (where my server lives) had a massive DDoS attack against their network today, resulting in 5+ hours of effective downtime starting around 2pm PDT.  The server was responding, and some traffic managed to get through, but in general the network was swamped to the point of being dead for all intents and purposes.  Apologies [...]

The Delete is Done

I'm here at the Portland AIRBus tour, and just checked the status of my server.  7.2 GB of class files in the `/WEB-INF/cfclasses` directory.  Wow.  But they're all gone now, and things should stay good this time.

Unexpected Downtime

Had some unexpected downtime this afternoon.  ColdFusion's class file cache had completely filled the partition it resided on, locking up the box.   Deleting of all the files is still underway, but I've disabled the file-based cache so it doesn't happen again.  Everything is back up and running, albeit slowly as the system is churning away [...]

Public SVN Access

To this point I've kept all my personal projects in a private SVN repository, but Joe wanted access to the source of my bicycle dashboard, so I opened it up to anonymous read access at https://ssl.barneyb.com/svn/barneyb/bicycle_dashboard/.  I'll probably end up opening a few other projects as well (like my award winning schema tool, which has [...]

Dumbass Alert

Please ignore my previous post about per-post uploads not working on Firefox. As I was lying in bed, bemoaning my plight to Heather, I realized exactly what the problem was. Adblock. I had a filter defined for "*ad.php*", which just happens to match "upload.php". Changed it to match "*[^o]ad.php*" and it [...]
