Wikis Updated

Posted on by

Updated the wiki codebase on Inanis.net to the newest version, just in case that’s the cause of my outages. I also got some of the network equipment where the server lives replaced, so if all is good, the site shouldn’t go down again. But, I’ve said that before so we shall see.

Server Problems

Posted on by

Sorry about the server problems folks. Either someone is playing a game of “Denial Of Service” on me, or the Inanis.net webserver has hardware issues.

The hardware will be replaced shortly.

UPDATE:

#define EPIPE           32 /* Broken pipe */

A process gets EPIPE when it tries to write to a pipe (or socket) when the process at the other end has closed the connection.

Bad network card? Bad network equipment between the server and the Internet? More things to look into.

UPDATE 2: Server hardware replaced. Seems much faster and more stable now, but I think there is a firewall and/or switch issue causing dropped connections to the server. This is somewhat out of my control but I will stay on top of it…

Testing a new theme…

Posted on by

I am testing a new version of my blog theme. It looks even better than the previous version, and is actually more cross browser compatible than the previous one. Lets take this for a swing for a week and see how it works, ‘kay? Glitches found and fixed (or maybe just found) to be listed here…

Sometimes, the best way to test something is to just get in and drive.

  • Browsers Working:
    • IE 6/Win [with issues, but it's viewable and usable], IE 7/Win, FF 2-3/Win, FF 3/Linux, FF 3/Mac [has a weird issue with post titles, need to get a Modern Mac to fix this], Opera 9.6/Win, Safari 3/Win, Safari 1-2/Mac, Chrome 0.2.149.30/Win
  • [fixed] – Sidebar XHMTL validation failure under certain circumstances
  • [fixed] – lightweight theme widgets bottom has incorrect setting in stylesheet for sidebar-bottom.
  • [fixed] – Tag Cloud overflows the Options Menu. Put it in a scrolling div?
  • [broken] – Certain items (galleries, blockquotes) are getting margin-ed off the page. ODD. {it was a clear:both problem} (still broken on picture gallery pages in FF2/Win)
  • [fixed] – Theme is not named correctly in the Disclaimer
  • [fixed] – Certain widgets seem to be broken? {it was a case of using classes instead of ids for styling}
  • [fixed] – My search template’s search field is too wide for the sidebar.
  • [fixed] – search button hover on start menu not working
  • [fixed] – Theme was not Valid XHTML Transitional
  • [fixed] – comments area form inputs are too big
  • [fixed] – Lightweight theme is glitchy because of fixes to make widgets work
  • [fixed] - gallery pic pages “post titles” are broken
  • [fixed] – edit button is illegible on certain themes
  • [added] - add ability to leave comments on “pages”
  • [added] – some javascript to force sidebar to always be full size of page content
  • [working] – minor graphic tweaks
  • [would like] –
    • ability to click on post title and go to full post
