Oh noes! QJ was down all day - what gives? |
Ó
As the saying goes, you have to break some eggs to make an omelet. Well after the day we've had here at QJ Central, I hope everyone's hungry, because we've got breakfast for all ... as long as you don't mind your eggs scrambled.So what's the dish? As many of you might've known already, QJ.NET keeps growing and coming into its own with each passing day. As we grow, so does our audience (hey, that's you!). For some time now, the site has been dragging its feet, and we practically have to get out and push it to your browsers sometimes. That's no fun for you, and we're tired of having to buy new shoes.
Today we saw the first (of two) changes to our server structure, including a new addition. But like a little boy on Christmas morning, that brand new bike doesn't put itself together, and Santa isn't always the greatest when it comes to reading the French instructions. The short of it is that things didn't go as planned, and we should've taken the proper precautions and made offerings to the server gods... may thine bandwidth bless thee and keep thee free from lag.
Everything seems to be in order now, and hopefully the change in loading speed has been noticed (if you can tell, let us know in the comments - we could use the affirmation right about now). We apologize for the huge, unanticipated outage today, but now that you're surfing the site a bit faster, hopefully you'll forgive us.
And there should be another dramatic boost to speed by the beginning of next week as we make another change to our setup. This will result in a few hours of downtime for DL.QJ.NET, but like Santa, the plan is for us to sneak in while most of you are asleep, so leave out some cookies. Both DL.QJ and the front pages will benefit from this shakeup, but the front pages should remain unaffected as far as downtime is concerned.
Thanks for sticking with us and being patient! Now who's up for some spicy Denver Omelettes?

And the old trend is that a lot of you guys like to complain out of boredom and the thought that you could do better. Chill out, relax, have a good time. :)

I'd rather have something to keep me busy for a short while then have it say, "k faster site." No one is forcing you to read the whole thing.

I had to refresh the page 10-15 times just for it to load properly.
Now it's smooth sailing ;))

As for the trend in writing, I have just come to expect bad grammar, incorrectly spelled words, and continued uses of horribly mixed metaphor. The fact is that writing is not the same as speaking. If you start to write something the way you would say it, that's a good starting point. But please review your text and run it by others who you trust.
Sadly, I don't think that I have ever read an article on this site that didn't make my inner English Major want to jump out and smack the writer. I keep coming back for the information, but if there was a site that could present this content in a well-written form, I'd jump.
No offense, everyone. Take this as constructive criticism. And just a few tips:
- To, too, and two are not interchangable.
- Thier, they're, and there are not the same.
- Noun/verb agreement isn't just a good idea.
I'll close on this last note. Most of these articles spend sentences (if not entire paragraphs) saying the same dribble over and over again. You brown nose so badly in some cases that it's downright embarassing. It's enough to turn someone away. Have you ever seen, The Incredibles? You guys can make Buddy appear to be a level-headed individual with a properly-timed proposal to a colleague.
Let's chill it out and clean it up, shall we?
