Server-ish Stuff
Okay, I know. The server situation here has been anything but wonderful the last week or three. We were plagued with some physical hardware issues (drive problems, etc.), and gratefully those are now fixed. However we've since discovered some memory-leak issues. We've been working diligently to stem these over the last few days.
While we still haven't squashed all the bugs, we are making progress. We'll likely end up throwing another server or two at the problem and see where that gets us too. In the meantime, thanks so much for sticking with us during the growing pains.
Finally, I'll say this much: some very cool stuff is on the way.

Waiting for the unveiling of coolness is almost as hard as waiting for the monthly token refill.

Thanks for letting us know what has been going on.
Whisper in my box what wonderful things are on the way, i promise not to tell anyone.

So do I....
Anyway, during the 'honey serum' server-ish stuff, I manage to collect all 75 sets of IconShock in just 1.5 days. Now I'm ready to continue....

Eeeeep! Memory leaks aren't good! I imagine all them stray pixels falling out the holes make a right mess on the server room floor... :-p

Could this mean a separate mail server? And an end to the double whammy of email notifications and new set trading bursts?
some very cool stuff is on the way
hmm. Also on the way: an Apple store in Vancouver. Wonder which will launch first?
iconmaster on Jul 24, 2007
We already have a separate mail server.
seanhussey on Jul 25, 2007
I hope the Boston store is somewhere in that mix!

@debbye - I am still waiting for my stickers too!
heinzelman on Jul 25, 2007
@debbye ME TOO :(
antonis on Jul 25, 2007
stickers were for a specific period I think! (for people who went VIP during april only)
austingirl on Jul 25, 2007
@antonis - did you see that in the blogs somewhere?
mik on Jul 25, 2007
@seanhussey - Pouring a foundation is a much more advanced phase than speculation on possible locations. I would be jealous, but that's tamashii's territory, so I will be nonchalant.
antonis on Jul 25, 2007
Here is where I saw it!
austingirl on Jul 25, 2007
@antonis - Thanks. ;)

danielsemper on Aug 20, 2007
IB was REALLY slow in August 18th, 19 and now 20th
It is impossible to trade, comment or anything :S
JBVisions on Aug 20, 2007
Take a look at Iconmaster's sticky up the top of the blogs.
LoopyMind on Aug 20, 2007
If IB keeps running as it does now (avr. load time per page +- 3 secs) i'm happy as can be...
debbye on Aug 20, 2007
i still love, "Finally, I'll say this much: some very cool stuff is on the way."
:)
JBVisions on Aug 20, 2007
They probably need to defrost it by now. :)
heinzelman on Aug 20, 2007
the slowness is really an issue lately, I know I know beating a dead horse but it is taking the fun out of it...
danielsemper on Aug 20, 2007
Now it is fast again =)
