Dusting off the Blog
So it's been nearly a year since I've actually published anything here. Pretty sad considering I used to do so regularly at one time. There was even real content before I got lazy and started mostly publishing Beer, Wine and the occasional PhotoBlog pics. And those will likely return once I automate them somewhat. I've got a HUGE backlog, particularly beers that need to be posted. And automating it is the only way I'm every going to come close to clearing them out.

Beer & Wine Page Update
Yesterday while working on something else, I found a stupid bug in my Beer page code. You would think I would have discovered this sooner, but being I don't actually check on it that often. This insidious little bugger was causing only half the entries to display. I was initially puzzled by it, but it didn't take long to realize that this was being caused by a very poor architectural decision from many years ago. It's actually an issue in the PolarBlog code that I am using to generate the data for the page. When trying to pull all of the entries at once it eats up all of the database connections and dies. Thus it will output all the data up to that point, and then spew errors to the log. Being the blog still works and I don't intend on putting anymore work into that, I took a different approach that avoids the connection issue.Being the page was getting large and cluttered I opted to also implement alphabetic separators for both the Beer and the Wine page that is 99% the same page, just with different data. So fixed the issue and implemented a change I've been wanting to do anyway! Net win. 02:36 PM | Category: PolarLava Website | 0 Comments
