Home of wURLdBook Research information and updates.
Just thought I'd check in here. I haven't done any new development on wURLdBook for a while now since I have been working elsewhere. The service is still humming along though like old faithful. I might get around to adding some cool new features if I'm in the mood...
I'm not doing any active development on this service anymore. Just keeping it running along for my own enjoyment.
I've had quite a tumultuous last 4+ weeks. I moved to a different place and had to move wURLdBook too. So, all my services had to be reconnected and servers brought down and moved. I've also had some kind of db problem which was narrowed down to some hardware issue. To fix that I bought a brand new XServe intel 4 cpu system to be the database. I've got some super fast 15K drives on it so that is nice. I also brought my systems up to the lastest greatest OS version which is OS X 10.4.9 from 10.2x. In addition, I've upgraded to the latest FrontBase which is 4.2.x. This I hope should improve things and allow me to take advantage of new cool features to boost performance. Also, WebObjects is now at version 5.3.3 and there were some bugs I had to fix because of that. So my app servers are running that now too. Now wURLdBook should be alot more stable and hopefully faster too. I might bite the bullet and get another XServe to help with the app serving part to get a real speed increase but I'll have to think about it... Thanks to everyone for being patient with this.
I'll be moving so wURLdBook will be down and brought back up when the move is complete. Bummer, I know! UPDATE: Covad will be setting up the connection Feb 15/07!
