Site has been having some issues lately, I just got done migrating to a new server so hopefully things should stabilize a bit now. Also B. is working on some updates, he even had a comic finished but decided it was shit and didn’t post it (even though shit from B. is solid gold for most other web comics). Don’t worry though, we aren’t going anywhere. Database connection errors be damned.
People were asking for the original punchline to eat shit & die 174 so here it is. I think it’s very cool you guys were curious. Let me know which ending was better.
Site will be up and down over the next hour or so.
So we were down for a bit. The main reason being I had recently changed my email passwords and my piece of shit phone stopped getting e-mails and also didn’t care to remind me that my password needed to be changed there as well. So basically I wasn’t notified about the problem until we had been down for what I estimate to be 16 hours. Sorry about that.
In order to fix this I’ve increased the amount of memory available to the database, in addition to that the number of concurrent connections the database will allow has been doubled. This should save us from reddit for the short term, but the site has been blowing up lately and I am currently looking for longer term solutions as well as a better notification system and automatic recovery. As a result these types of problems should be sharply reduced. Hopefully the next time we hit it big on reddit we’ll be ready to deal with it. But the only way to find out is if you guys submit even more of our links. Get on it.
Hey guys, some of you may have heard about the ExtraLife charity. Basically its a 24 hour videogame marathon taking place on Oct. 16th. I am raising money for Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City, if you have a few extra bucks to spare, head on over to this site and send a few bucks their way, it’s for a good cause.
There are other ways you can help too! If you don’t have the cash, or want to otherwise get involved the entire event is open to anyone who wants to participate. Sign up and create your own team here (you can even choose the hospital of your choice for the funds to be donated to when you sign up)
For any other information, you can take a gander at the offical ExtraLife charity site here
