16 Feb 2004 - Couple of Bug Fixes This Evening Hi all, bugs abound! Actually that's not necessarily true, but there are a couple that have been fixed this evening, bizarrely in stuff that I thought I already fixed a while ago. The show my hits scripts are (or were) showing zero hits for the last 24 hours, which was clearly wrong - thanks to F for mailing in and letting us know. I made some changes to the viewer.pl scripts to consolidate how they operated (previously I had three seperate scripts that any time a bug fix was made needed to be applied to all three places - there is now only one) which I suspect is where the problem came from. Secondly, the Last 10 Updated Diaries had been reset to be updated only once every ten minutes, which should be more often than that since I fixed the queries up to be more efficient, so that should update more often now too. Have a good evening! Steve 16 Feb 2004 - Becomings Question First, the observation: When people commented on my private entry, unless they clicked 'private' the comment appears on the login screen for the entry for anyone to read, even non Dear Diary members. I wonder if comments on a 'for friends' entry could default to private? Unfortunately that would require a major rewrite of the present comments system (which I'm not averse to, but probably won't happen in the current Perl codebase as its just not worth it - the shelf life of the perl codebase is limited). The problem is that the comments are all tied into the first entry for that day - they know nothing of any subsequent entries. Indeed, making them aware of that would require an 'Add Comment' button after each individual entry, which as you can see isn't present. The comments system needs a darn good overhaul :) I'll certainly bear it in mind for the new software - which has been a long time coming I know - but it really is being worked on now (when I'm not working on new features for the existing code base)... Indeed, some 'privileged' people have seen the first steps so they can confirm it really is happening at last :) Steve. This is the official DearDiary Administration Diary.
