July 24, 2004

Building websites can get complex. The larger the site, the more complex things can go... and the more opportunity for things to go wrong. Well... I was watching my traffic grow and grow these last few weeks and wondered why suddenly no one was joining.

Today I got an email from a friend telling me the registration form was not working. Ahhh! That would explain the lack of new members.

See... I made a big mistake in my rush to fit upgrades into small pockets of time--I failed to thoroughly test new features and their impact on old features.

Oh well. You live and you learn. Anyone who attempted to become a member between July 7, 2004 and today would have been unable. That problem has been rectified.

In other news, I have found yet another insect that enthralls me: the Ambush Bug... another predatory insect related to the assassin bug. It just looks like something that belongs in prehistoric times... like a miniature dinosaur.

Anyone in Central Ohio this weekend ought to look into going out to the Mad Cow Bash. It's a rock exposition of some of the finest rock bands on our local scene, not to mention musical artists that are some of my good friends.

Anyway, I hope everyone likes the new photos and submissions from members.

Have a great week.
