I have had a very annoying day of development trying but failing to do a large number of simple tasks using my databases. Turns out they have been taken over by hundreds of thousands of spam messages, comments and users, meaning that databases are at more than double there maximum sizes!
This has been sorted now on all but one of my databases… more deleting tomorrow i think.
Unfortunately this was not my only problem, the themes used on this blog have broken, so i will need to take a closer look at them after a good-nights sleep. It seems broken themes is the reason why i haven’t been able to post for such along time!
On a more positve note, we have upgraded are hosting solution to deal with the increased traffic over the last year and hopefully reduce the loads by moving the most frequently addressed databses to different dedicated database servers, instead of having them all lumped together.
Just testing facebook connect!
More testing!
