Today I sent my first SVN Commit to my SourceForge project.
My project is a Game Control Panel that is kind of the same as TCAdmin, but less complicated and free. Already started work on the front end website, and started work on the master receiver that will be the base of operations.
Here is a preview of the front end (Prealpha) as it stands.
Over the past month I have been working very hard on the back-end code for hp.connorw600.info with faster API queries (they only took 20ms to start with, now they only take 9ms), the ability to have all bad domains return as positives for spam, the ability to remove your submissions.
Over the next month I will be finishing all work on it. All I have left to code is a knowledge base and a forum and I might even add signatures displaying how many submissions each user has.
One of the biggest changes I have made is the new theme, making it even easier to find what you are looking for.
Happy new year every one.
So today I went into my local town to watch the winter/Christmas parade, it was cool.
But while I was out some thing weird happened, My server ran out of memory. Physical and Swap RAM while a load of MySQL tables where open and being written to, When I got back I noticed that Ganglia had stopped collecting stats. but my server was running.
So I went around my sites and noticed my honey pot had not been updated in 5 hours, So I had a look at the MySQL error log and noticed that every table that was being written to at this point had become corrupted, so I though not problem just clean up the tables and restart mysql to make sure they work.
This fixed 95% of the tables except for my honey pot, so I thought never mind I will just restore the last good backup that was taken at 9am. Um Nope doesn’t work like that.
Turns out for the past 5 days my backup program has been taking backups of the wrong database…..
So right now I have lost 5 days (700) of submissions and am left with a database structure that does not work with my current backend code.
FML
So, I have decided to set my blog back up.
a few days ago I finished a major update on my honeypot website, here is a list of improvements.
Still working on API calls because I have to make sure they return correct data in, XML, JSON and plain text.
