I love to see such dedication to the internet! :) Sometimes, I really think it is my life-support system! Well, since leaving Dallas, it actually is!

Good to see the site back up.

I could see the threads in my reader, but when I clicked the link, all was white. :(

Thanks Roy to fix the problem, I was just about writing a mail, after my monthly shower, when I gave it a reload try and OMB was back…

Cheers and a great month to all

It seems only that I’m familiar with WordPress, I just stepped into the code to fix the problem.
I’m more involved in programming PHP, databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Linux servers.

hehe. You’re funny. Don’t forget, I’ve been on the net in full force since about 1996, so the only way I’m getting off is if I die!

So when you see issues like this just be aware that it has to do with the fact that my personal blog is growing with the kind of vorocity that normally a business would deal with. So the shoestring budget I’ve allocated to it is bound to slip up sometimes. ;-)

Thanks for the info, Roy. I only know a little of the WordPress core (probably only enough to make hacks or a theme). Are you very familiar with WordPress? (It seems like it.)

Notice? Uh…yeah! I kept trying all day Tues, and never could get in, and then yesterday, I tried once or twice, but, was too busy to come back more than that. I was thinking …’That’s it – John’s left the net, he got sick of it, our little community is over.’ Hahaha! My mind always goes ‘worst case scenario’ – it’s my good Catholic upbringing and being a mom of three monsters! Well, I guess Catholicism only did the guilt thing on me, not really the worrying – hmm….

I’ve heard of sites having trouble like this from the Google Sitemaps plugin, too! That’s it – no sitemaps plugins for me!

Glad you’re back up and running … if the great OMB can go down none of us WordPress bloggers is safe! I guess this is a good lesson to learn: don’t overload yourself with plugins … thanks for helping me pare down the ones I was using ;)

Wow I use this on all my blogs and know the guy that wrote it (used to play unreal tournament with him) indirectly.. I’ll keep my eye on mine.

It’s not an autoload function of MySQL, it is the field autoload from the table wp_options of WordPress. This field has an enum type with the possible values yes and no and defines if this option will be automatically loaded by WordPress on each request and can be immediatly accessed by the get_option() function.

Autoload? I’ve never heard of the autoload option for MySQL. I mean, i can imagine what it would do, but I’ve not encountered it (not as if I’m all knowledgeable about MySQL or anything, though).

In any case, glad that you (or rather Roy) figured it out and are back up and running now.
