Things That Make You Go Oops

I'm busy tweaking the mu.nu->Minx syncromatic dimensional portaliser for increased efficiency.  I want to run it at frequent intervals to update the Minx versions of the blogs in as close to real-time as possible.  (Given that the two systems have entirely different database structures and all, so simple replication is out of the question.)

Teeny leetle mistake made one key function run 18,000 times slower than expected.

Another major problem is with spammers: The program checks any post updated in the last two days.  That includes any post hit by spam, which is a lot more than the number of posts with valid updates or comments.  That one's harder to fix, but I can tweak it a little.

Nearly there, folks, nearly there.

Update: And if you set the post status wrong, you don't see anything.

Update: Blargh!  Userids.  It's always the userids!

Update: Okay, that's got it.  Sort of.  Need to populate the user mapping table, and there's something weird going on with categories.  But apart from that, um, and checking that it's auto-generating the banners properly, it looks like it's working.

Update: Bleh.  Categories still playing up.  That will have to wait until tomor...  Later today.

Update: But before I go - yep, it's generating the banners correctly.  Just my test domain playing up a little in serving the images.



Not bad for a random process.  Well, a random process and the generosity of PD Photo.
