More site progress - Thursday, June 10th, 2010
Yeah, long time without an update... the good news is that I have been working hard on the new site the last few weeks, so it is coming along well. I hope to have it available for public viewing before the month is over. Once it is good enough to replace this site, I'll redirect all traffic from mr2.gordaen.com to the new site (91mr2.com ... there's nothing there yet though). The design is a bit better but the backend is hugely improved. It will make changes easier in the future and also lower the load on my web server.
Background Progress - Tuesday, August 11th, 2009
I have been working full time as a web developer in Seattle, but I'm also picking up another job, so I haven't had a whole lot of free time. Regardless, I've been slowly chipping away at completely recreating this site. I was hoping to have it all done by the end of summer, but I'm not sure I'll hit that goal now. I believe I'll release the new site when it is at least as functional as the current site. It's already got some features that aren't on here, and it will have its own domain name finally, but that's all I'm saying for now....
Server Issues Resolved - Friday, July 3rd, 2009
I finally discovered the cause of the problem I was having with the script that runs PHP and have corrected it. I also updated some setings that should improve performance, so everything should be better now.
Server Issues - Wednesday, June 24th, 2009
My server is having some issues with running PHP right now. The problem started Monday night when I restarted PHP, and it did not come back up. I've had to manually start the process, but it craps out after a few hours. I'm in the process of troubleshooting it, so if you see any "Bad Gateway" messages, that's why. Sorry!
Minor Calculator Change - Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
A courteous user pointed out a display problem that Internet Explorer was having with the calculator. For the non-technical users out there, the input sections were partially overlapping in some instances. For the technical users, IE was paying attention to "clear: left" on one div and then immediately ignoring it on the next, causing the second div to float above and into the prior one. Anyway, the problem and fix have no direct impact on the way the calculations work, so I haven't updated the calculator version. If anyone else has any troubles, please don't hesitate to let me know.
