PostCount Pumping...

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 5:26 pm

To prevent people like Bethy and I from gratuitously running up post counts?

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 5:27 pm

Even if we do have good reasons.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 5:27 pm

Bethy was testing posts-per-page,

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 5:27 pm

And I, am load-testing.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 5:28 pm

And post-pumping. So I should stop.

Okay, so the site's still fast as hell when I beat on it. But sometimes, I've noticed that it takes, like, 40 seconds to generate a page. I know there's not that many other sites on our server; I wonder what they are, and why we sometimes seem to get no processor time, and other times seem to get no bandwidth? They're different, too; when the pagegen time at the bottom is extremely long, it means we're getting no processor time. When it just takes a week to load the page, but the pagegen is low, we're getting no bandwidth. Unfortunately, the bandwidth bottleneck could be anywhere.

I did the calculations last night for how much I would have to be making to really afford to run a T1 to my house and just build a webserver there. They were not promising. My only hope is to marry a rich girl, I fear. Which is the plan, anyway.

So what you're saying is...

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:08 pm

...That all of these tests were for the sole purpose...

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:09 pm

...of testing flood control and...

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:10 pm

...whether or not you could break php?

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:26 pm

Well, the server, mostly. What I'm really wondering is how it'll perform with 15 people on it at once. Which isn't that many, really, but that's about our peak on v0.2.

Of course, I'm just curious. It doesn't matter to me how well it works. I'm just some guy.

I have to go.

Bethyaga · Post by **Bethyaga** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:26 pm

Cool, huh?

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:28 pm

Bye 32!

Yes, Bethy, it's cool!

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:29 pm

Now all we have to do is convince other people never, ever, to do this again.

Bethyaga · Post by **Bethyaga** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:37 pm

Well, with this and Name Hoarding and Quotity-Quote-Quote, we're well on our way to setting very very bad examples.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:39 pm

I'll go get the police tape and guard dogs.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:42 pm

Maybe we should request they get deleted before the board opens.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:43 pm

No, too easy, besides Control said that everything was going to stick around.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:45 pm

That's an excellent point.

Bethyaga · Post by **Bethyaga** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:46 pm

Maybe we just have to promise to be better from now on.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:50 pm

We really should. And to atone for our sins, we should make sure to yell commandment numbers at people we think are being jerks. Or we could pee on them. I like the peeing thing, personally.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:51 pm

Both are equally viable options, I think.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 6:58 pm

Actually, no. I can't pee in from of peopl. I don't really know why, but I can't. I can't even use urinals; I pee in the stall. Unless it's a private bathroom, of course. Then it's fine.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 7:10 pm

So you pee in front of people in the privacy of your own home?

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Mar 14, 2002 7:42 pm

Not /that/ sort of private bathroom. I don't have a urinal at home. Well, I used to. We got it from the side of the road. Someone was throwing it out, and it's not like we could pass that up; I mean, a /urinal!/ So we kept it for several years, until a neighbor we had that didn't like us took a bar from the railing and smashed it while we weren't there. When we confronted him about it, he ran.

Are you aware that that's fucked up?

Well, yeah. I mean, that's a pretty shitty thing to do to a guy's urinal just because you don't like the volume he plays his stereo at. But then again, he was a pretty fucked-up guy.

Once upon a time, my roommate and I were out flying kites in Memorial Park in Omaha at about midnight. (Don't ask--kite flying at midnight just sounded so freakin' cool... so we did it... we weren't drunk).

Just as we get out of the car, another car pulls around us and stops right in front of our car. Four huge high school kids start piling out of it like it's a clown car. Drunk and laughing, they pop open the trunk. Working together, the four of them lift a toilet out of the trunk... bowl, tank, and all.

On the count of three, they heave it as high as they can and smash it in the middle of the turnaround right in front of my car. Still laughing, they pile back in and speed away.

Just in case, we wrote down their plate numbers and then went to fly our kite.

When the lady cop came along about 30 minutes later, she nicely explained that there's no kite-flying in the part after 10pm. She then started asking all sorts of questions about the pieces of toilet in front of my car. She listened to our story, took the license number we gave her and then left.

We had to back out of the park to avoid running over the toilet shards.

BTW--another great band name: Toilet Shards

You other nice thing about page 2 of this thread is that I can see several of my sigs in a row, so I can see a statistically significant number of the possible sigs, to make sure they're not all ginched up.

Why is it always all about you?

It's the subject with which I'm most comfortable.

*Sings Mr Roboto for no reason.*

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

whoa...I have caught Bethyaga being shameless! Now I replace Bethyaga's posts with mud. Let's see if Bethyaga notices any difference!
