Musings on a world I am no longer sure about

I got home by 6pm yesterday...on a work night...possibly for the first time since I left Sourceree 4 years ago. Found the best way to work too, so I’m going to try it this morning. And yay, sun! My greenhouse almost blew away yesterday. Thankfully TJ strapped it to the bars. He should try a career in bondage. Still not got my own PC at work, but was actually doing vaguely useful stuff in spite of this, which is good. Am getting to know the site reasonably well, set up tomcat from scratch (which I’d never done before) to run within eclipse and got it all working. Made me think about this ol site and what I should do — I’m considering buying a server abroad in a rack as they’re quite cheap...and then building here as a j2ee app. But I suspect I’d need to do a bit of testing first to see if it can cope. Ulf was watching 70" bear porn yesterday. The dirty boy. Fixed a bug in the forums. When a post is created, it’s “deleted” status is set to “false”. When a post is deleted it is set to “true” and the database is checked for any other posts in that thread that aren’t deleted (set to false). If there are no more then the entire thread is deleted. Amusingly, this meant that when I’d done something screwy in the SQL server upgrade — it wasn’t setting the “deleted” flag to be anything when creating new posts. Meaning it would scan for posts that weren’t marked as deleted and then not find any, and remove the entire thread. Oopsie. Also, Jerry found an error in the public blog code which was fixed : D Right. Off to work. Toodles!
