Guess I will break down in the next day or so and go with other hosting. These server errors are just pissing me off to no end. I realize the blog is getting rather large (over 3500 posts) but the frequency of server errors and timeouts is unacceptable no matter how large it is. I suspect part of the problem is the airsoft forum that I host on the same server, but as I am no longer running the ranch I am going to move it to another site and let it be someone else’s problem as I won’t be taking that site with me when I move this one.

Not sure if I like the WP super cache plugin or not. Sometimes it updates right when I add a post and other times it doesn’t. Again, this too may be server errors. Time (and a move) will tell…

Going to publish this and hit the sack and hope that the rain and storms tomorrow are not too bad. Till then… 😉

WordPress › WP Super Cache « WordPress Plugins

Just installed the WP Super Cache plugin to see if my problem is related to WordPress hitting the processor too hard. Going to install it on all of our other sites so looks like a afternoon doing updates and backups.

Been trying to get it going all day but haven’t gotten near as much done as I needed to.

The server errors are getting to the point I am gonna move the sites soon. Have looked at several possible hosts and almost settled on 2. There is a fair cost difference between the two and will most likely go with the cheaper but still trying to make up my mind. Tis gonna be a lot of data to move and hate to do it but things are not getting any better so am gonna have to do something.

Spent far too much time today setting up a LAMP server on this machine here at home and then putting wordpress on it to check it all out. After I got the first copy working made a backup of the database for technoprimitive.org, copied the wp folder over and imported the backup. After some playing around with phpMyAdmin got it working on here. Now just got to backup another 7 or 8 other wp sites as well as several other database intensive sites and make sure I can get them all working after the move. Joy, joy, joy… 🙁

Not gonna do it tonight though. Done all I’m gonna do other than hit the publish button on here and then go to bed. Till tomorrow… 😉

Twas the “insert” key and it does it’s deed only in Puppy linux when ScribeFire is running. So back to PCLOS for now. Puppy is fast and overall an excellent distro for older and even newer equipment. Tis somewhat limited in applications but everything I needed I was able to find or find a workaround for. And I suspect that the insert key bit killing firefox when using scribefire is fixable, but I just don’t have the mental energy right now to work through it.

Jim Reed, on The Museum of Fond Memories….

My museum of fond memories is filled with triggers and unexpected alarms….

When you walk down the long hallway of Reed Books Antiques/The Museum of Fond Memories, you’ll be surprised every step of the way. Passing by the front counter, for instance, a motion-sensitive black box plays the opening music theme to the Twilight Zone. Pressing a button on a small white square brings audience applause. Buttons on a seemingly innocent flashlight produce eerie screams and howls. A potted sunflower suddenly bursts into “You Are My Sunshine” and smiles at you. A mounted fish sings “Well, I’d Like to Know Where You Got the Notion,” ultra violet lights make things glow unexpectedly, and an enormous record changer plays stacks of recordings of square dances, children’s tunes, belly dances, Mister Rogers songs, Wagner operas. You may have gotten the idea by now that my shop is dedicated to the obtuse, the fun, the unusual…and you’d be right.

Interesting place, and person. Both are well worth the visit. 😉

Just did it again. Not sure if it is just in Puppy Linux yet. I hit either “insert” or “print screen” and am not gonna try it again quite yet. Going to try to get a lot of the tabs that I have been meaning to post cleared out and then will try some experiments. Tried it in Seamonkey where I don’t have ScribeFire installed and it doesn’t do anything. Will post more as I find out. Tis quite a pisser when it happens.
