  • *Xanga sucks!  Xanga sucks!*



    er.. the Server's back up?  Really?


    Never mind.


    Perspicacious Update:


    Being an outstanding troublemaker, I mean, troubleshooter , I've isolated the source of the message that I and some of you were getting on our webpages this morning:


    Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31'

    Timeout expired

    E:XANGAWWWROOTBLOGRINGS../Includes/include_blogrings.asp, line 171


    The pinpoint source is not all Blogring Groups--just the larger ones like Music Blogrings (1022 rings) and Friends Blogrings (1841). 


    In other words, *BIG THINGS* on Xanga serve as ticking timebombs.  When the servers are running fast, the *BIG THINGS* get away with getting bigger and still have time to load before a timeout limitation.  But when the servers get slower because they are challenged with an ever growing load of more page views from more users, the *BIG THINGS* like BIG Blogring groups or a 100-entry Featured Content List (BIG compared to the now diminished 20-entry Featured Content List--small) cannot load before exceeding a stipulated timeout, so CRUNCH~!


    So is Xanga getting too big for its britches??



    Or does it need bigger britches?!
