Post by thread:[OT] Piclist.com is dead! long live piclist.com!

Ok, the old PICList.com server is down, and the new one is up. I'm still sorting through all the stupid errors, but it seems to be working and archiving emails, serving FAQ pages and so on. It's quite a bit faster, probably due to the new 10,000 RPM hard drives and the RAID 0 array for data (RAID 1 for the OS). If you see something that seems wrong, please let me know? Thank you! One thing that worries me: Did we really have NO posts at all on Sunday 4/15? I know that happens, but it's rare. If you have a moment, please check and see if that is right, and if I'm missing emails let me know. Don't forward missing emails unless you know how to forward the HEADERS as well as the email body, please? Thanks! http://www.piclist.com/techref/postbot.asp -- James Newton at massmind.org 1-970-462-7764

I show 12 posts on Sunday April 15. All but three were the Nuc power plant discussion plus three on PC motherboard discussion. Thanks for all your hard work James.

James, I on a mac and use the Mac Mail program Let me know how I can help. Would copying them, headers and all into a text file work for you? Or how about forwarding them back to the list?

I am using Thunderbird. If I copy the "view source" pages will you get what you want?

Oh, and that's with Thunderbird on WinXP.

Thanks David, I have ZERO MAC experience, but this is what I found on the internet: http://8help.osu.edu/1327.html "Click the View pull-down menu, and then choose Message and Long Headers" Apparently you can forward the message with those headers shown from that screen. Saving them to a file would also be fine with me. Forwarding them back to the list would not help. Thanks again. -- James Newton 1-970-462-7764 {Original Message removed}

I have sent what I think I have. Getting old has led to slower thinking and shorter days for me. It is a little strange that the only list messages I have on the 4-15 date are those with [TECH] parameter...

I had noticed that [TECH} was the only postings that day, and 3 of those were mine. Hadn't really thought things were goofy, just one of those things. Maybe good weather, girl friend's to do list, or what ever. :) :) On 4/19/2012 12:58 PM, John Ferrell wrote: > I have sent what I think I have.

Many (many) thanks to those who sent me the posts which were missed on the 14th during the change over and especially to Josh who checked over the work and found a couple more that I had missed. I also found and fixed a REALLY annoying bug in the archive browser which would put the first word of the post just before any links in the post. That one was driving me nuts before the server replacement and it was still with me today, so I dug in and finally got it. So far the new server seems screaming fast, searching is generally quite quick and I've reduce the search delay to once per 15 second vice the 20 seconds it used to be. The generic search box at the piclist.com home page now searches the entire site, giving FAQ pages preference and then archive posts after that. So if you search for "LED" you are going to get pages from the site, and not from the archive. If you really just want to search the archive only, go into the archive first, http://www.piclist.com/techref/postbot.asp and use the "Search (Full Text)" form from the List Post Browser. And after each search, there is a link to change it to the other sort of search if you like. Searches return the top 100 results, but there is no way to continue on to the next set of 100... I still haven't figured out how to do that with the new system... perhaps as time allows. Anyway, thanks again for all your support so far, and for being the best list on the net! -- James Newton 1-970-462-7764 {Original Message removed}
