We had our first flash crowd recently. Hava Kagle sent a late afternoon message out to San Jose's library school students and alumni. Wham! The good news was we discovered an artificial limit to how many folks could be on the system. It wasn't until 12:45 am the next day that there was no one on the system, and "we" could restart DB2 to up the limit. (I was not part of that "we," but i will be tonight as we institute other overnight maintenance to improve tuning.) It does remain a limit, though, so we'll need to evaluate it as time goes on.
Elsewhile at RLG, Karen Smith-Yoshimura notes that September 12 marked the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the CJK script enhancements to RLIN.
I am amused by trying to read logs in OS X's terminal where apparently someone is testing the Unicode support of RedLightGreen.
[2004-08-18 I deleted two very similar comments but left a third, because it at least has nothing to do with cheap drugs -- it's quasi topical. I'm closing comments. Teel free to contact me by email if you're the author of the search msg. And i don't have Windows XP.]
I've been vanity surfing for RedLightGreen instead of working on my scripts for log analysis this morning. There's only one addition to the Google results. We also were notified of both Columbia & Swarthmore adding it to their resource pages.
