site update – harumph

Yesterday was the big day for updating the MODSonline.com website. I wanted to implement new code to make the site run faster. I planned for the update for two weeks running tests and practicing the conversion process. I was hoping to make the transition quick and smooth.

Well, I can hope all I want. It’s not going to make it happen.

The site update didn’t go all that well. What I thought would take one hour ended up taking nearly three hours. The reason was that I screwed up made a few miscalculations. I then had to re-establish the entire server account system to resolve the errors.

The good news is that I was able to resolve all the errors and fix the problem. One thing that helps tremendously is the many backups of the site that I have. I have three backups online, two at home and one more elsewhere. If something goes down, it’s never a total loss.

This morning a few more errors issues were brought to my attention and I quickly fixed those. I think the site is now ready for action. Perhaps a little tuning here and there.. but it’s done.

   Hey at least you got it done I guess. I’ve seen some changes around the site, it looks a lot neater. I finally have the chance to get posting news like I used to now so I noticed some of things in that area as well…

   … good job you didn’t completely break it right. Then you would be in trouble.
