Even at 65, he puts on a great show. He did a 90-minute set... plus about an hour for the opening band and 30 mins of wire juggling between them (oops)... overall, a great show filled with lots of memorable things. Waited 2.5 hours at the door (was first in line) before the show started... sat...

We're testing a new page compression method and my numbers indicate that the pages are being generated about 4x as fast as they were prior to compression. We'll see how much of a load it puts on the server, but let me know if it seems faster to you: As of 3:00PM today...

Greetings, We apologize for the long downtime, starting yesterday around 6PM EST. We ran into some issues with our server, and had to do some major changes on short notice. We tried to get it all fixed last night, but still had issues around 1:15AM, and decided to call it a night. However, we...

We just changed the forum from the old PERL front-end, to a new PHP front-end... The database has been completely restructured, hopefully to reduce the number of queries and increase overall speed. There are dozens of minor feature upgrades, but I'll mention the more noticable ones (if you're...

Later today the forum will be down for upgrades... possible outage times are between 2PM and 4PM EST.

Hi Everybody, When we first started the OT forum a couple years ago, the idea behind it was to be a place for related topics to be discussed. Cars, trucks, working around the house, even cameras, computers and things that were coming up in the course of regular posting. When people asked me...

This morning for about 10 minutes, the site was down while we had the RAM upgraded... With the number of people we have online accessing, we were dipping into the swap and seeing some slow-downs at peak times... So far we've seen an improvement.

Greetings, I wanted to clear up something that has come up in the past few days, and that is the topic of unsolicited e-mail. As part of our commitment to online privacy, TractorByNet.com has not and will never send unsolicited e-mail to anybody, for any reason. Sending unsolicited e-mail...

Sorry about that. Upgrading PERL on the server. Done now.

I have noticed that an increasing number of threads in this forum belong in the brand-specific forums. For example, if you are asking... "How does this price sound on a Kubota B7500 w/FEL, etc" then that thread does not belong here, but rather in the Kubota Buying/Pricing forum. However, if...

I figure it will be easier to keep reports and mentions of our traffic (and other) records in one thread, so I'll just add to this whenever there's something to report. I knew we would have a busy day yesterday, welcoming the Yanmar group, and with Monday being a traditionally busy day...
