| 1513 | 2 | 2000-11-10 09:34:51 | Since happypenguin.org moved to Sourceforge, approximately four million of you have emailed me about nasty database error messages showing up here. The Game Tome shares the same database server used by all other Sourceforge projects, and I'm told the server sometimes gets flaky under a heavy load. When this happens, happypenguin.org goes out to lunch and there's nothing I can do about it except wait for the problem to be corrected. Over the past few weeks, the number of database failures appears to have increased. Until a permanent solution can be found, I've made a few changes to the code here that will attempt to mask some database errors when possible. If you encounter problems, remember that they're (usually) temporary, so try reloading the page or coming back a few minutes later. I'm sorry for this. Hopefully we'll arrive at a real solution soon. | Database unpleasantness | default | |
