Anyone get the sense the Akta is going to get shoved into a casually placed Gregory somehow, restoring his White Magic? |

| Notification System |
[Dec. 7th, 2009|01:15 pm] |
**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**
So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.
And finally some answers to some questions:

| Villians of manga |
[Dec. 3rd, 2009|12:22 pm] |
I don't know what it is, but manga have at once the scariest villains i've ever experienced, and the prettiest. When I started writing this list, I realized the huge contrast with European/American/non Japanese :P stories whose villains are old, ugly, dark-skinned, overly manly and manga villains who are young, pretty, feminine, and fair skinned.
I'm going to list a couple of villains that have just freaked me out and try to analyze why. Other than the first villain, they are in no particular order.
Monster by Naoki Urasawa
Johan Liebert. He takes the #1 place as the scariest villain that i've ever experienced. The most interesting thing is that he didn't appear fully except when we were well into the series, and I only became aware that he was a 'monster' and became terrified of him when he began to cry in empathy with another character in the story. The brilliance of this character is that I always hesitated just a moment to long trying to figure out if he really was as harmless as he appeared, plus he was the kind of character that if he talked long enough, you just might realized life wasn't worth living after all.
Again, don't know if I just post the whole article as it's long. so just posting an excerpt. The rest with pics can be found at http://www.mythandmanga.com
thanks!

| MogileFS Maintenance |
[Dec. 2nd, 2009|12:18 pm] |
**EDIT Thu Dec 3 23:24:15 UTC 2009 **
Hey Everyone, we are about to run the last alter job that we need to on our database servers. This will effect userpics / scrapbook / vgift images for the next few hours. Have no fear, your images aren't lost, there is just a really intensive process running on the servers which store the information for mogilefs. Thank you for your understanding and all the LJ love...
Hey LJers,
I just wanted to let you all know that we are going to be performing some mogilefs maintenance over the next few days. We will be upgrading our current version to latest stable as well as changing some db config information to better handle the amount of files we are currently hosting. This shouldn't cause a big impact on site stability, but you may see some minor delays with userpic / scrapbook images appearing or other requests associated with our mogilefs. We would love to not have that happen, but unfortunately with some of the steps we need to take we have to cause a delay with images. I figured this was a better solution than taking down all of LiveJournal because well lets face it, we all need our daily LJ fix ;)
Thanks, |
