trac mysql schema optimization

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 18:32:02 GMT

For anyone using Trac with the MySQL database backend, check out this ticket: http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/6986

I applied the database schema changes on the MobileScrobbler trac site, and it's reduced the time it takes to modify or create a ticket from several seconds down to less than a second. Finally, no more error 500 pages when an operation takes too long to complete!

I win!

Yay! I beat adventure mode in Peggle! Final score: 15,659,720!

Upcoming server downtime

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 22:36:08 GMT

DreamHost will be moving the server that hosts most of my sites on February 8th, and they'll be unreachable during that time. This also affects those of you with sites on my hosting plan.

Due to continued space and power constraints in our primary data center, we will be moving the “randy” cluster to one of our newer data centers. This move will begin Friday, February 8, at 10PM PST, and is expected to last up to 8 hours, until Saturday, February 9, 6AM PST. All web servers, mail servers, file servers, and MySQL servers in the randy cluster will be unreachable during this time.

The following web servers will be off line during this move:

alexander arkanoid attila baht bam bob bomberman breakout caesar centipede contra cornelius cortes crack cruisin cssmania deblume defender digdug dinar dinero dollar donkeykong ellipsis euro fidget forint franc gage galaga gap go grant guilder happy herod ikari ike io ivan jezebel joust karnov katamari khan klax korben kroner lamlam leeloo lei limbo-randy limbo-randy2 limbo-randy3 lira lucky mark marvin morgan napoleon nexus nimitz orbital pacman paperboy patton peso pizarro pound qbert quid rhod ruble rupee rygar scagnetti schilling scipio shekel slaughter slimy tetris ugh ultima venice vex vito wasabi yen yoda zorg

If your site is on any of these servers this status post applies to you. Also, if you check the “Account Status” button on the upper right hand of the webpanel ( https://panel.dreamhost.com ) you should see your cluster under the section “Your Email Server:”. We are also sending out an email announcement about this downtime window to affected customers.

We do apologize for this inconvenience. Rest assured we will do everything possible to keep downtime to a minimum.

If you have any questions regarding the server move, please contact our support team.

MobileScrobbler on firmware 1.1.3

Fri, 25 Jan 2008 04:04:24 GMT

MobileScrobbler 1.4 will be compatible with firmware 1.1.3 using Nate True's soft update jailbreak.

Starting with MobileScrobbler 1.4 beta 2 which should be out tomorrow, there will be two separate packages, one for firmware 1.1.1/1.1.2 and one for firmware 1.1.3, due to slight differences in the new firmware that are not compatible with previous versions.

Update: MobileScrobbler 1.4 beta 2 is now available in my beta repository for both firmware 1.1.1/1.1.2 and the new firmware 1.1.3. You can grab it by adding the following repository and installing the MobileScrobbler package:

http://dev.c99.org/iphone-beta/

Update #2: I've removed 1.4b2 for firmware 1.1.1/1.1.2 as it appears to be crashing. I'll downgrade my iPhone tonight and get that resolved. The package for firmware 1.1.3 is still working fine.

Update #3: MobileScrobbler 1.4b2-3 should resolve the "Database too busy" and "Scrobbler is working offline" issues. Please refresh your sources in Installer.app and install this update.

Update #4: MobileScrobbler 1.4b3 is now available. This release is compatible with the dev team's official 1.1.3 jailbreak. Also, a separate package is no longer required for the 1.1.3 version. Please remove the "MobileScrobbler (1.1.3)" package and use the standard MobileScrobbler package instead. NOTE: If you use the dev team's official 1.1.3 jailbreak, the preferences application will not be able to start / stop the scrobbler when you press the toggle button. You must reboot your device for the change to take affect.

MobileScrobbler 1.4 beta 1

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:57:58 GMT

The first public beta of MobileScrobbler 1.4 is ready for testing! Add the following repository to Installer.app to upgrade to 1.4b1:

http://dev.c99.org/iphone-beta/

Please report any issues into the bug tracker, and if you want to revert back to 1.2.6 you can safely downgrade using the Community Sources package.
