No, It’s Not 2005
Reglike experiences FIFO syndrome.
Accountants out there know what FIFO means — first in, first out. Reglike experienced its own version today, as the order of articles on the site were reversed. If you landed on the home page you saw the very first posts ever written at the site, back in March of 2005.
That’s a little embarrassing, given that the quality has improved remarkably since then. Worse, many RSS readers started receiving these old posts.
It turns out that my webhost upgraded PHP or MySQL, and my version of Wordpress didn’t work with this. Thankfully, I was able to quickly upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress thanks to a great development group in Brazil (If you ever need a project outsourced to great developers at low rates, let me know).
I also added a fresh feature. When leaving comments, you can check a box to be notified when someone adds a fresh comment to that post. You no longer have to worry regarding people disagreeing with you but you never finding out regarding it 🙂
On a final note, I need a fresh webhost. My current one complains whenever I get a spike in traffic. It even suggested I turn off my RSS feed since it “seems to be using lots of resources”. It’s nothing personal against them, but I need to move on. I’m willing to pay more for some sort of dedicated hosting solution, or any solution that gives my unlimited peak CPU and traffic usage. Solid Uptime and 24×7 support are also required. Basically, I don’t want to have to worry regarding the site being down. Please comment if you have a recommendation.
