Yeah, folks...we're aware of the slooooow performance that's been going on for the last week or so, and is particularly bad today.
I'm escalating it best I can with the hosting provider. It's nothing on our end, and yes...it's particularly frustrating that the new super duper server we were moved to has turned out to be so...well, fill in your favorite adjective here.
But, as C-Dory owners, we're used to slow - right???

Don't sweat it, Bill. I bought the C-Dory for the leisurely cruising attributes. They just rubbed off on your server, that's all. The quality's still there. _________________ Mary & Don Anderson

Thanks, old Bill.
Now we got another problem. The last time I was on the front page, the list of recently updated photo albums was missing. Gone. History. Poobed. Maybe you were confused by Catman (like that never happens). He hinted that it was time to remove his picture out from in front of his cousin Bill G's (Gates' not Giese's) house. He wasn't demanding that you remove all reference to any picture ever posted on the World Wide Web.
We do very much appreciate your nerdness, and the way you so selflessly use it for all of us. Thank you again. _________________ TyBoo Mike

That's on purpose - science experiment. The code that generates that list takes a bit of processing, so I've temporarily eliminated it to see if it's related to the performance problems. More so to satisfy the hosting provider...the same code was working fine on the old server, and I've not seen any real difference.
It will be back before too long... |

Hey, Bill --
Just want to take the moment to say thanks for all you do for this site. We appreciate all the time and effort, so don't sweat it when things aren't working perfectly -- we're with you, bro', and thank you for the good work that none of the rest of us could do. _________________ El and Bill (former live-aboards)

Scotty, more power!!! Dammit Jim, I'm giving her all I got!
Great job Bill. Tell Scotty (the server hostess ) to get with it because you got some major yard work to do. |

Hi, All,
So far, it hasn't been any great inconvenience to me. For the most part, most of the functions seem to be working fine.
But pardon my ignorance. I've seen, on occasion, a reference to something being "poobed". Could someone explain that term to me? I'm not sure I understand it in today's language.
Thanks for your help.

The term "Poobed" means to be deleted, censored, edited or otherwise changed from the original form of free expession. It carries the additional connotation of the above having been done out of malice, ignorance, and/or egotistical spite. I don't believe it is in the Constitution, but it is firmly engrained in the minds of most in the C-Dory community. It seems to me the term originated somewhere in the wilds of Alaska, and is found to be hilariously funny by civilized society. |

Ouch...my gut hurts. Had I been drinking when I read that, I think I would have laughed up a kidney...
While that was a mighty fine definition, I think you've limited the scope of "poobed" a little. It is afterall, one very flexible verb. It's also been used to define the act of blockage, denial or banning....you know, like "I used to be able to access that site until I got poobed." |

Grand Poobah = fearless leader
Getting poobed is the act of being corrected, deleted,banned or edited by our keyboard heroes Mike & Bill. If you ever watched the Flintstones, you know what the Grand Poobah is. _________________ Larry S

MMMM, I thought it was something about pooing in your bed. Not something one would want .. Could maybe expected if one had a very young grandchiild sleeping over. Kind of a difficult thing to wake upto. _________________ David and Kate

"No Rules - Just Be Nice". Seems to have selective application!
Just curious as to how long grudges can be held.
Thanks for the update.

On C-Dory owners "vocabulary lesson..." I have to add that I have of late been enjoying the RedFox's term (giving him credit due to that is who I saw using it on their site and in messages...) .... the term of "Spendy"... as in a $hit load of money that may be able to be done at a more economical/practical rate of investment....or engineering.. I love it. Oh what have we put together with a little duct tape (Alabama Chrome), coat hangers, broom handles, and the such.. Just some good stuff.
Thanks to those who put in a lot of time in keeping BOTH sites up and going. I truly appreciate it..
Byrdman in Bama. |

The hands down favorite term from old RF has got to be "C-Brat". That pretty much says it all.
At first glance, the term "Sucky Site Performance" appears to be a some sort of loose slang, but it is actually a highly technical term. |
