A Dolphin’s Journal of Events

I’m running lighttpd for my site right now. IIS was getting annoying on win2k. Windows 2003 works a lot better for IIS it seems. Also, lighttpd is running on a faster machine too. So hopefully less load time for php stuffets.

However, there seems to be a lot of random php crashing. I don’t know why. Possibly APC is causing the crash?

My photo gallery will remain down. For some reason, it seems to infinate loop somewhere and use 100% cpu on both servers. Donno what happend. I went ahead and moved the directory for now.

…………. Opera + Wordpress != post

Therefore my entire explaination of blowfish in php and rss2 progress report is dead. Woot.

More Info

Generally we made a specialized IRC to IM bridge for RuneScript. Used SmartIRC.php and Class_Jabber.php with the loops changed around. A bit of work. Used jabber transports for MSN, AIM, and Yahoo. RuneScript will still be avalible for IRC.

We’ve haven’t had much load yet. As far as we’ve tested the system works excellently under light load with plenty of room for higher loads. I’m not sure how much we can handle, but about 300-500 commands per minute max seems like a good estimate. Right now we are getting 1-20 messages per minute through this with very little impact to our bots and the bridge script.

Eventually if this takes off we’ll need to revamp this a lot. I was hoping to use libgaim or gaim remote originally, but it didn’t work out as intended. If we begin to get major load we’ll need to try and work something out with IM networks or create multiple IM bridges [bleh]. Anyway, so far we’ve only had problems with Yahoo disconnecting us every few hours, besides that everything on the IM side has been working great.

And etc.
