NOTHIN' BUT PROBLEMS

posted by Joseph Leingang

We here at ONM definitely pride ourselves at doing the "impossible." Right now the impossible is getting 10 website powered by a massive database, and using several hundred gigs of media to run on the same box. You may have noticed some weirdness with the site(s) lately -- this is because we basically ran out of memory and capacity. This definitely happened a lot sooner than expected, but we hadn't anticipated the early and often demand for things like searching schedules (arguably the heaviest task performed). Heretofore we have remained rather obsequious in our efforts to prevent any slowdowns, but we have never taken the time to inform you why they may be happening. For the rest of the week and next we will be testing more aggressive performance measures that will hopefully bring us back up to snuff.
