Just wanted to let everyone know, that a new version of MemcacheD has been released. We will be rolling this out to the memcache nodes during the week of July 20th to 24th. This should have very little impact on the stability of the website; however users may see a slight increase in load times as the cache is re-populated with entries.

The software has been tested and verified to be working just fine with the application; so we perceive this to be a very minimal risk in regards to updating, and the stability of the website.

Thanks...

For the past few days, my life has been an internet-free zone due to moving from WV to Silver Spring, MD. Having moved, I'm feeling *drastically* better about my life. A lot of things got sorted/aired over the last couple of days, and my QoL is a lot better for it.

Interweb goes in tomorrow afternoon, while I'm off doing tea with The Other Nine (my long-running group of LOTR Ladies, one of whom I've known since before I had an LJ (and isn't that a scary thought?).

Hopefully after Comic-Con I'll settle down, get into a routine with DCAC and the Washington Wetskins, and get back into the swing.

So, I adore the Nike online summer clearance. Because I like Nike clothing, especially their workout gear and goggles (Remoras FTW), but I just don't have the kind of disposable income to sling around to buy their stuff full price.

For a number of reasons (several relating to the abusive tendencies of a now-deceased individual) I always think of myself as being really heavy/large. Yes, I have friends who are larger than I am, but it doesn't impact my self-perception at all - it's one of the few areas in which I'm horrible at perspective. Today, my shipment of Nike goodness arrived, and I was shocked to be reminded that I am apparently actually a Large (as opposed to an XL) in a bunch of their stuff. I knew I had an L Nike T-Shirt that I wear frequently, but I hadn't put together that it meant that the L stuff (which I ordered b/c they didn't have XL in the clearance section and I'm planning to go back into training for a triathlon so will drop 30 pounds in the next few months, meaning roughly a dress size for me due to muscle mass increases) would fit now.

Color me pleasantly surprised.

Also, my WtWM universe is currently at 16,700 words and exploding rapidly. WTF, brain?
