This is to inform you we *are* aware of a problem with the site.
Symptom: The "Most Recent Journal Entries" box that normally appears on the right-hand-side of the main page is currently not currently displaying.
We have tried a few things, but have had no luck so far. We will update this story when we know more.
Problem first became apparent at about 17:45 UTC today.
Workaround: Use Search to look at the most recent journal entries. Specifically:
We will update this story when we know more. I have done all I (martyb) know how; hopefully TheMightyBuzzard will show up before too long and get things straightened out.
[Update-TMB]: The local mysqld instances on both web frontends both decided to be On The Crack for some reason or other. The database itself running over on the db servers was just fine and a restart of mysqld (and bouncing of Apache/Varnish which has to be done whenever mysqld is restarted) on the web frontends put things back to normal.
The cause of mysqld's drug use is unknown and shall remain so unless it happens more than once.

There are still no comments on exaeta's journal of resignation. Is this why the journals are missing?

There's no reason to mock someone who's already been driven away, Ari. It's bad form.

Yeah, no need to sling insults at someone retreating to their safe space.
Oops.

I'm loving that corporate America is on the side of morality. Possibly for many corporations it is mostly about demographics and how the majority of consumers will not support racist institutions so they're doing the smart PR thing, but I don't really care.
I must admit I giggled a little at HD joining this political/cultural fight against racist conservatives, the douche bags debating whether to boycott their favorite 30k motorcycle must be having a real hard time.

Are you saying exaeta is a biker? Or that Ari is? Don't mess with Ari, if he is a biker, because those guys don't use logic.
