I blame Carlos!
Apparently, Carlos Perez's notorious 101 reasons why Java is better than Dot-Net posts have the Java-based FreeRoller server crawling along on the floor, coughing up teeth, and begging for mercy. The main page does not seem to be working properly anymore and weblog pages are rendering very slowly. Maybe FreeRoller has reached the limit of what one instance of Tomcat can handle, even with page caching, database connection pooling, etc. I wonder if Roller.Net would do any better.
Linkback feedback loopback.
Sam Ruby and Mark Pilgrim, who both have weblogs with automatic linkback implementations, both linked to my Introducing Automatic Linkbacks in Roller post the other day. This created a linkback feedback loop. Luckily, I anticipated that some linkbacks would have to be hidden and I added controls to the Roller UI to allow weblog authors to pick which linkbacks are to be shown and which are to be hidden. Using those controls I've been able to hide the results of the feedback loop, but I would like a more automatic solution.
