Inventory Is Stable, So Are My Vitals
Finally I feel like I can take a breather. For the past day and a half, every time I thought I fixed most of the bugs, another glaring bug shows up and slaps me in the face!

As I dig through more code, I found things in the caching system that need adjustment with the stacking scheme, as well as some weird bug that prevent results from caching most of the time. Hopefully some of these fixes will mean better performance down the road. I've heard that the servers used to get really slow during big CI releases. My goal is to make everything work smoothly once again. (ponders about the old days when every page load takes 20 seconds, and Gaia ran on 2 servers)

Also did some fun things like adding level of kins in inventory, fixing BBCODE for youtube links, and allow owners of favorites to delete them.

I felt like the time it took to work on Inventory Arranger could have been spent fixing 20 small bugs. Though as this is the biggest pain point for Gaians, it's definitely time well spent.

I'm not out of the furnace just yet, still have to fix the touchscreen laptops with inventory bug. gonk

Update:
So the touchscreen laptop bug where people thought you would either use a touchscreen, or a mouse, but not both at the same time! That's how the Javascript library was built years ago. My first attempt in applying a patch to the library didn't work, so now I've uploaded a whole new version of the library. Will try out the code once I get to the office at 11 (about 4 hours).

Just started using Amazon Now for grocery delivery. It's pretty awesome for I can get an extra half hour for not having to shop for groceries! Not to mention that 2 days ago my car got rear ended while driving to the supermarket. gonk Small fender bender, but it' still gonna take up time to resolve.

sucks about your car - time savers are sometimes the best - but just remember most of us have been on Gaia for years and while the issues need attention they have been patient while it didn't work - they can continue to be patient until it does 3nodding don't burn yourself out

I think I encountered a bug with favorites. I went to delete one avatar out of my collection, but when the page refreshed, all of my avatars in the collection were deleted. I can't find any of my avatars that were favorited through the search function either. I checked my tagged avatars, and the page just says "Opps! No results were found." :c

You've been bug slapped o:

I know this might be a weird thing to say but if someone was to read this in the 1800's they would think you are an entomologist or archaeologist... lots of talk of bugs and lots of talk about sorting inventory...

Oh good to hear about amazon now. I wounded if amazon fresh is good too since it's only in certain cities and... I'm not one of them...

Please take a 3 day weekend!
Or go plan one where you go to a hotel/spa/whatever you like to do that happens within the next 3 months.
I really don't want you to burn out!
Everything feels better on this site with you at the helm, but burnout is real. I think I speak for all Gaians when I say "TAKE A BREAK PLEASE!"

Thanks for getting so much done in the time you've been back! I'm glad you keep us in the loop. I hope you can get a decent amount of rest. It's okay to take a break and fix things slowly!

Sorry about your car though. I blame the rain for slippery roads! That is, if you're still around the Bay Area.
