What happen's when you're a Java Developer and your wife is a kick-ass designer? You end up with a rockin' Roller theme. Tom McQueeney is DJUG's President and his wife, Renee, is an awesome designer. Not only that, she's a Sun Certified Enterprise Architect. Tom and Renee, this site looks incredible - I especially like how the "blog" part of it is just another page and it looks so seemless. Tom's personal site looks a lot better than many corporate sites I've seen.
It's plagued me before, and now it's back again. When I go to sleep at night, this site crashes. I've been up until 4 lately and it still seems to wait until I fall asleep. In fact, my 500 page is my top referrer this month. That's not good. The problem is probably not Roller - since JRoller seems to stay up and humming. Although it does die, I do have somewhere around 30 open database connections.
The truth is I need to run a profiler and figure out what's wrong. Unfortunately, I don't have the time and it doesn't really bother me that much. I just end up with a whole bunch of "your site is down" e-mails every morning when I wake up. Hopefully I can fix it soon. I've been telling people I'll have more time when the baby comes. They think I'm kidding - but I think it's true. My job will be handling Abbie while Julie nurtures the new baby. Abbie sleeps 12 hours at night, and 2-3 hours in the afternoon. I sleep 4-5 hours a night. That's a lot of time to get stuff done.
