Network Maintenance: Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 04:00-06:00 UTC/GMT [11 Nov 2009|02:00pm] lj_maintenance [dwell] On Saturday the 14th at 4AM UTC/GMT we will be upgrading the operating system of our network load balancers to a newer version, one that will allow us to use both CPUs! Nifty, because multiprocessing is nice. Since we have 2 load balancers, the plan is to upgrade 1 at a time, and there really should be very little impact to our website. Hopefully you won't notice a thing and I'll get to go back to the hotel and watch some wonderful late night infomercials. We've got a lot of exciting projects coming up for 2010 and we're hoping that we'll be able to deliver them all to you, that you will find it useful/cool/lovely and then you will use the site even more. Behind-the-scenes work like this will give us the capacity to handle the anticipated traffic, so expect a few more maintenance windows especially in the beginning of next year as we've got some neat ideas to improve performance around here! We had the recent 30-45 minute outage yesterday due to one of our logging databases filling up disk space -- not so great design coupled with my human error in handling the initial problem -- and it looks like we're going to finally have some resources to eliminate stuff like that. I can't wait! As usual, I will be updating status.livejournal.org before and after, just in case you are not able to reach our main website during the work. 20 comments|post comment

Amazon Promo Video [11 Nov 2009|03:41pm] buzzzcocks [sabeth86] I don't think it was there the last time I checked. On Amazon there is now a little teaser video with Phill and Simon and some clips from the Best of DVD including unseen Preston and Russell Brand. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/mpd/permalink/m2PMVQKFIOAZ7W I definitely agree with Simon that is a weird idea that the commentary isn't optional. Don't know if I like that. 1 comment|post comment

The Uke Crusade [10 Nov 2009|07:00pm] _zooeydeschanel [nineinchnoodles] Hello fellow Zooey fans and admirers, I come to you tonight with a plea for help. A couple of years ago I made a ukulele from scratch in order to give it to miss Zooey. (This is the full story) Now that I finished it I am on a mission to give it to her but dont know how to go about it, so I am asking people to repost, reblog, this plea (and link) so that at some point thanks to the miracle of internet, the right person who can help me deliver this will stumble upon this crusade and make this happen. Please join my crusade to give the Uke to it's owner by re-posting this link on your blog, tumblr, twitter, whatever you can until maybe the right person stumbles upon this link, thanks!!

Vignette 12/- [10 Nov 2009|03:20pm] persephone_20 [ music | Charlotte Sometimes - The Cure ] The Dance They entered the place of shining white lights on each others arms. Though they could not see where the music came, they could hear the first discordant notes coming from the right of them. The music started slow. The two little girls rounded onto the dance floor. Pastel dresses made of taffeta and lace moved in wide circles around them. A waltz came out of the discordant music. The taller of the two girls took the hand of the other and began to lead her around the floor. This dance was slow, in time with the music. The place was shining so brightly; they could not see if they had earned any spectators. Around and around they moved, in countless circles of slow moving steps. Pink and purple glitter painted the eyes and cheeks of both girls, sparkling as they grinned. A smaller circle was formed within the circle of their own arms. Then the music picked up without pause or warning. Two little girls spun away from each other, bodies already moving in time with the vibration of a new beat. Cheeky eyes gazed out towards an audience that they had attracted, inviting the others to join even as they shrugged their shoulders to relieve themselves of a fabric that had become heavy and cloying. The dresses shifted from their shoulders, slipping over bust and hips to betray dark and bold colours of shifts underneath. Bright grins from the girls became contagious as nearby creatures of fae enthusiastically came into the stone circle to join the dance. 2 comments|post comment
