downtime
We had some unexpected issues at our colo facility today, and were offline for 20 minutes. Our apologies for being down!
Bad server, no donut.

I finally received word on what you can do to recover your bookmarks: send an email to support and they will send you back a database dump of all the bookmarks that you saved under private.bookmarks.
I’ll look at an easier solution than this, I have the master xml dump of the bookmarks, I can probably do something with these.
Still no news on the Yahoo/del.icio.us conundrum.
If you’ve seen the source code, you might see that I don’t actually store any of the private bookmarks you have saved, otherwise it might be easier to recover the missing bookmarks.
In implementing priv.at this was a deliberate decision to help protect the privacy of bookmarkers, however now it seems to be somewhat of a mistake relying on a third party webservice to store the data.
If all comes to naught with del.icio.us, I will begin work on using the del.icio.us API to reconstruct the private bookmarks and migrate to a new account, I will keep you updated through this wiki page.

we had a service outage tonight—ran out of the disk space, oops!
turns out that apache logs get big quickly when you are doing a lot of ajax requests
mysql doestn’ appreciate not having any disk space, so table done got corrupted
table is repaired, service is up again, yay….
del.icio.us feeds are broked thus LiveMarks can’t get any bookmarks.
Likely this will be fixed soon enough, until then you can see del.icio.us’ cool Mason error messages on the feeds:
http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/ajax#raw
Can't use string ("") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /www/del.icio.us/comp/posts/fetch line 218.

Del.icio.us isn’t servicing tag join requests – delimages can’t work without this. Please stand by until del.icio.us fixes their tag service.
priv.at is currently offline as del.icio.us stopped servicing the api requests to add bookmarks. Hopefully it will be working again soon.
I think I’ve got a hold on why there are random downtimes. It seems that a few ips are asking for a highly database intensive page every second over and over again. That’s not good for the server.
I’m going to try to reduce the load required to produce this page – stay tuned…
PS: here’s a cool unix tip: watch tail /path/to/apache/access_log will show you who is currently requesting what from your apache.
Update: fix rolled out. Loading the front page should be faster for everyone.
If you are wonder why LiveMarks isn’t working atm – it’s because del.icio.us isn’t working and we’re pretty dependent on them being up.
Thx for your patience.
I thought it was b/c del.icio.us wasn’t returning info, but something else seems to be wrong?
- – investigating – -
further investigation seems to reveal that del.icio.us rss feeds are returning old data and are not updating at all.
Livemarks will have technical difficulties until this problem is resolved at del.icio.us.
LiveMarks is unconnectable – resetting the box at the colo, should be back up in a bit.
Update: Kicked the server and it restarted – was at 100 load – that’s not good.
