Dave is running the London Marathon this year. His chosen charity is the Meningitis Trust and if you are feeling generous you can sponsor him online at Justgiving – Dave’s London Marathon Page. Dave’s been doing a lot of running lately and is really enjoying it.
Coldfusion seems to be better lately. I haven’t set the cron job up to restart the server every night but I have changed some of the coldfusion settings. It appears that a software update may have changed some of the memory variables for the ‘JRun server’. Jrun was trying to take all 256mb of memory on the server and not let anything else use it. I reset it first to 128mb which helped, and now 64mb and the server’s been fine since. The website seem to be performing fine but I think I’ll keep watching it closely just in case.
As always, newsgroups were handy for research and I’ve got a few optimisation tips from them too.
Granddads Life story is currently hosted on the business website http://www.rootskitchens.co.uk/family/les_root_story.php. There’s also a guestbook for people to leave a message and say hello. Despite it’s relatively low traffic there’s always been a level of spam that gets sent to it. When it happens I remove them. I was surprised today to be spammed by another furniture company. Their website looks pretty good too, I guess they are just trying to hard to be noticed. What defines spam for me? Well, it’s not relevant for a furniture company to be listing:
Oak furniture,tables,chairs.Bespoke furniture,tables,chairs
along with the website URL in a guestbook for a life story.
I guess they thought the guestbook was related to the business site in some way.
