So a few months ago, closing in on 3,000 posts, the database got too big and krypted.com started suffering from innodb corruption, resulting in database outages. While I was able to get the site up, it was using a read-only database that kept me from doing any new articles or updates. It was a strange time in my life, like suddenly being single after living with someone since Y2K (when I started the site). But I got through it and was able to repair the relation… er, site. Now, with a new database that is free from corruption we’re ready to get to 6,000 posts!
Also, I had a little feedback on the usability of the site. I had thought people would scroll down to find the search box. Apparently there’s a reason most sites put it at the top. It’s now there here. I also made a couple of new pages (in addition to the articles I’ve been posting since it came back up) and removed a couple of pages. Most of the pages have gotten fresh information and had at least something retired. No changes to articles in all of this, just pages.
Finally, I know I’ve made this offer in the past, but I welcome any guest authors that would love a place to store their stuff. Talk about anything technical you’d like, from Arduino to BRU to Casper to Munki to OpenMDM to Linux to PowerShell. It should just be technical…
