Service outage

Posted by tabulas at 07:04 AM on March 11, 2006 in General News.

Tabulas was down last night; the server that Tabulas' database is located on got hacked (not through Tabulas, but through another account that was on the server).

I've written a a more technical post on my personal Tabulas.

I'm *really* sorry about this downtime - I hate downtime with a passion, and I was really stressed out last night while trying to get the service back up. Right now, I'm exhausted, but I will be doing a post-mortem examination of how I can prevent this type of outage in the future.

Again, my apologies.

Note the service may be slightly slow while I reconfigure the server to be a bit faster. Let me know if you're having any critical errors (like database errors and such).

Thanks for your understanding.

Hardware Upgrade

Posted by tabulas at 06:38 PM on March 12, 2006 in General News.

I'm moving Tabulas' database over to a new server tonight. Tabulas will be down for a few hours while I transfer the database, starting from around 11pm EST.

Edit: The server move has been completed! The new database server is blazing fast, so this should help serve you guys for a looonng time!.

Free upgrades!

Posted by tabulas at 11:56 AM on March 22, 2006 in General News.

From now on, all free Tabulas accounts get 150 images free to upload! Patron accounts now are alloted 1,000 images to store.

I've gone back and updated all accounts, so your accounts page should show the right number.

Thanks for your continued support of Tabulas!

Update: If you want to upload lots of images at once without using Tabulas' 5 at a time webpage uploader, check out the Uploading from Windows XP (obviously if you have Windows XP only!) that will let you upload a large number of images at once!

Xanga crossposting

Posted by tabulas at 03:28 AM on March 23, 2006 in General News.

For those of you who have been having trouble with Xanga crossposting, I've found out why some Xanga crossposting fails. You can find out how to fix it for your account. Much thanks to annenomi for loaning me her Xanga account so I could track this down!
