Today was mostly (after a few hours of work) dedicated to yet another attempt to move from Win32 to Linux. Yet again I have been driven back to Win32 land. This time it was by an apt-get upgrade intended to install a TV-listings viewer (MythTV) failing during an upgrade of a dependency and managing to ...

But at the current settings it could be as much as 20 minutes (in a worse-case scenario) before the scanner notices an offline low-level branch. It's currently taking ~4% of CPU, so I can likely rachet up the maximum group-ping frequency to 5 minutes or so and still have acceptable performance. Will need to work ...

Looks as though the problems with the scanner were being precipitated by having too many simultaneous postgresql queries. Introducing more randomness into the scanner has let it run for a few hours at a time so far. Have begun producing a trivial summary/overview in simple text which makes it possible to confirm that the scanner ...

I must admit complete and abject defeat. I sent a mock-legalese threatening letter to Lisa wrt her promise to get together and chat. Got back a perfectly formed legal document with threats of litigation, callouts on various poorly formed legal theories, etceteras (no references to case law, however). Shiver. Long and short of the harrowing ...

The annoying crashes during the run of the ping scanner appear to be happening in the middle of a huge chain of PyPgSQL calls, particularly ones that appear to be network related. Going to have to check out twisted.enterprise to see if they had to do something special to make PyPgSQL play nice with Twisted's ...

Frustrated with what look to be weakref crashes in the ping scanner, took a few moments to figure out how to get a ZCatalog-based search installed on the blog here. Built the ZCatalog, added the lexicon and a full-text index, then added in the blog itself... no content indexing occurs... there's no "Coreblog Entry" option ...
