Yes, I'm still here!

Still no action at my site. Finals were over a couple weeks ago, and it seems like nobody wants anything to do with school until fall semester starts.

Though SOS gets anywhere from 200 - 500 unique hits every day, I'm lucky to see more than three comments per week. Plus I haven't had a story submission for almost a month. :(.

Sad sad sad .. looks like I'll have a more or less dead site on my hands until fall semester starts in mid august.

Well, happy trolling to all the trolls, happy crapflooding to all the crapflooders, and happy censoring to all the sporks. And last but not least, happy ranting to all the bearded zealots out there! (if I forgot anyone here, too bad.)

I had this "crazy" idea that I should upgrade my slashsite to 2.0.0. So I waited until the semester was over and finals were a distant memory to be soon forgotten.

Well, crazy or not, I carried out this idea. And was stuck with almost two days of downtime. Thanks to a hardware failure, and to a couple slight inconsistancies in my old slash database.

Thanks to some help from the mailing list, and a whole lot of SELECT commands and inspections of almost every row, column and table .. I got things to work. Now on to refinishing my previous customizations to the site.

About slash 2.0.0, I like it already. Great work. I'm more than happy to run it on my site. And I'm sure many of the students of the University of Utah appreciate it.

Nothing new, just checking it out. I run a slashsite and plan on upgrading to 2.0 after schools out at the beginning of may.
