yeah, the bots are absolutely HAMMERING this site (my sincere apologies for lag and unresponsiveness since the 1st post in this thread as I have since had to remove object caching, which is crucial to a responsive social, discussion, multimedia, game serving CMS system that we have been putting together and has drastically slowed the site since…[Read more]

one step forward, 2 steps back
no sooner had I posted the optimistic “almost ready to launch” post, I discovered that my new solution for object caching was failing similar to my first; specifically for logged in users which were the primary beneficiaries of this form of caching. I had previously tried redis, and while it was blistering fast when…[Read more]

Hello There,
Yes, we quietly went live a few weeks ago. It has been a stress test of sorts, to deal with bots and randoms who found their way here, under consistent load. Cache response seems over 90% stable and implemented based on things learned during this initial stress testing (bots are RELENTLESS).We have 100% kept spam posts away from…[Read more]

Anything helps
If I gave you any joy at all in your life, please help these 2 girls. I wouldn’t be who I am today without Delissa. If you would ever help me, help them instead. They need it so badly. Please […]

UPDATE:
Rasha (Lissa’s sister) here… I just want to thank all of you who donated to help my sweet nieces. It’s been almost a month since this has happened and what a worldwind it has been.
The girls are doing the best they can despite this extremely challenging situation. They have so much of their mother in them. They’re loving school and making lots of friends. We will be moving in less than 18 days and the girls are excited to decorate their room!
Again, I appreciate the kind support from all of you. Lissa continues to live on in all of us. ❤️

Now is a good time to, once again, find spiritual support and revisit Stevie Wonders Classic, Songs in the Key of Life.
Particularly poignant, to me, right now, is this one, sadly.

I am probably going to be using this post as therapy, as Delissa and I were so close, so long ago, during such a formative time in our lives… her permanent loss is unbearable, but the loss we suffered because life had its way with us, i am having a hard time forgiving myself for letting my relationship with this wonderful woman go by the…[Read more]

The worst part of time passing, is that the details and subtleties of events blur, to the point that there are significant gaps in your memory, or worse, the memory is incomplete and one unconsciously makes up the details to the detriment of the actual facts.
I have been praising Delissa to the point where I am almost accusing her of…[Read more]

Delissa was with me at my 1st Phish show in 1994. Those of you who know me, know I am a pretty rabid Phish fan today. She also was a part of a plethora of 1sts in my life (and no, I am not talking sex), as well as 1sts for her.
I met her in Miss Mallett’s Drama class at Palm Springs High. We were actually in a play together.
Taken by her…[Read more]

I am so sorry I let those years get between us. I am even more sorry I never told you how important you were to me. Knowing you is a serious highlight of my life, and knowing you are gone is unbearable, especially since I failed at keeping in touch and letting you know how important you were to me.
I am pretty sure you wouldn’t want me to be…[Read more]
