jaiku invites

So just a quick update on what’s been happening here at JaikuInvites. Some of you might have noticed some down time recently and thanks to everyone who jaikued me letting me know. And the other one is the constant fluctuation of number of invites we have on Jaiku.

First Jaiku, the dev guys over there have been doing some bug fixes and it would seem the first fluctuation was caused by @termie uploaded some old invite code, which he fixed as soon as he found out. Now I can only suppose that this one is the same problem, I have asked @termie but haven’t heard anything back yet. You guys will be the first to know when I do though.

UPDATE: The invites are now fixed, thanks to @termie again. You should have all your invites back to what they were before now.

Second is uptime, two things happened in the last week or so that led to that and both of them revolved around JaikuInvites moving hosting.

The first issue was a silly one on my part where I had the domain set up with four name servers two were my own and two belonged to my old host. When I moved the site some of you were still going to the old site as you cached the 3rd and 4th nameservers when one and two went down and then when they came back up at the new location you still saw the old site location. Which was also throwing some nice errors at you, sorry about that. All fixed there now.

The second was outside my control, and it was that my new server went down. This caused the second bit of downtime and although the guys got it sorted out very quickly and efficiently, an unfortunate side effect was we lost a small amount of data.

As a result if you registered to share invites wed/thurs/friday last week, can you please do it again. Also if you requested an invite then and didn’t get it, then register again. I think all had been sent bar one or two as I was checking shortly before it went down so we should be okay but if you got a request about then try and make sure to fulfil it.

Also one or two of you have asked what will happen to us when Jaiku opens, well I hope to keep bringing all the latest Jaiku news here and until the opening we will keep helping you to share those invites. I might also have some new surprises for you too.
