Changing Webhosts
I have decided to change webhosts before I begin doing more with this blog. Please bear with me while this transition takes place.
Now accepting submissions for reviews
Attention all comic book publishers, movie studios and other media producers!
I am now once again taking any and all submissions for material for review on this blog.
To contact me, just fill out the info on the Contact Page and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
New Comic Web Log Updates page went flakey for a while
Looks like Newsgator changed the way feed headlines are shown so for a while today the New Comic Web Blog Updates page wasn’t showing anything.
After playing with it for a while, apparently Newsgator changed the max number of items shown to more than or equal to 35.? It was set at 100, as to give a good bunch of feed links, but if I input anything higher than 34 the page goes blank.
I am not sure if this is a site wide setting or if they set some kind of flood limit on that particular item specifically.? 34 items not being that much, I will see what I can do considering the number of feeds on the list.
Thanks for your patience.
This blog needs an enema
I got tired of my old theme, mostly because I kept adding little things here and there and it started to look too cluttered.? So as of today I am sporting a new look for the blog.
Let me know what you think.
New forums ready for use.
The new forums are up and ready for use!
Have you been overwhelmed by other forums?
Well come on by and get in on the start of a new comic book community!
Forums took a dive
Well the Tales from the Longbox forums didn’t survive the update process from 3.0 to 3.0.2, due to my screw up.? I have tried to restore it with no luck so I am going to have to redo the whole thing from scratch.
I am sure you three users that signed up are going to be upset about it, but I promise to be more careful this time around.
Thanks for your patience.
Chris
Apologies to readers of Tales from the Longbox and the Weblog Updates
I woke up this morning and found that advertisements for adult webcomics had made their way on to my sidebar ads, and on the banner ad of the New Comic Weblog Updates Page.
I don’t know if anyone actually saw those ads, but they have been removed and I have taken step to hopefully make sure that this doesn’t happen again.
If anyone was offended, I apologize. That isn’t the kind of content I want to be represented here.
If anyone finds any of the other ads on this site offensive, please let me know and I will take steps to fix the problem.
Thanks,
Chris Mosby
Re: DreamHost Status » Blog Archive » More DNS Issues
UPDATE– Thu May 24 10:42:09 PDT 2007
Things certainly seem better. We’re leaving this post as “unresolved” for now while we troubleshoot the outage but as of this moment, DNS resolution appears to be working fine.
RESOLVED —
The problems regarding dns and our load balancer have been resolved. It was a combination of problems that caused the outage. The main problem was that the default udp settings on the load balancer did not have any timeout values set (BAD!!!). This was causing any udp connections that didn’t complete to fill up connection tables on the load balancer causing its CPU to spike and stop serving new requests. We sincerely apologize for this outage and are working on new plans that would prevent a similar outage in the future.
New Wallpaper added to the Gallery
I just added 149 wallpapers (WHEW!!) to the Marvel Gallery and 18 wallpapers to the DC Gallery.? Enjoy!!

Things might be flaky around here for a while…

More DNS IssuesOur DNS issues from earlier are back. The solution the load balancer vendor gave us worked for only a short time. We are working right now to find a solution until we can contact support again and resolve this for good. Until then reaching our network will have slower response times than normal.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Severity: High Resolved: No
