ZooLoo is ME. I am important here.

Major Improvements!

So, I'm sure people noticed that ZooLoo was down for about 24 hours.

Well, the good news is we're back online for existing users. ZooLoo underwent a major overhaul to its database system over the last 24 hours. Some other services are undergoing similar revamps. So, in the meantime existing users can ZooLoo away, but signup is closed for at least another 16 hours.

The improvements made will significantly reduce our future downtimes, and may even eliminate most of them (some are required).

For the more technical among you, read on.

Whenever you create a system that is supposed to store a lot of data for a lot of users that are going to be online at the same time you have to spread the load out. This is accomplished by having more than one database server running and load-balancing the queries among that pool of database servers. You have master servers, and slave servers. The master servers are where new data gets shoved in. While slaves are used for retrieving data and running reports.

Previously our system was prone to many moments of "eventually consistent." The goal is for data to be consistent as near to 100% of the time as is possible. We upgraded our database servers and tuned them based on what we've learned about usage.

Many things will operate more quickly. Some things still need work. But, I'm confident with the upcoming major overhauls we have planned for the near future.

Thanks for visiting!

See the mountains.

With my lady.

As the eagle.

And the golden sky towers over purple majesty.

In the mountains

There's a freedom.

There's a river.

You can hear it say, "from the delta flows the liberty."

As the twilight of evening is broken.

Lace and silvery starlight unfoldin'.

Round and round in a world of emotion.

Words of love sometimes better unspoken.

Nothing equals a sea of devotion.

Who desires sets the wheels into motion.

We all agree.

We live to be free.

They can't tell us.

They can't tell us.

How to be.

We, we all agree.

You, individually.

We the people, share the power, hold the key.

is contemplating. So many choices, with no clear winner.

This is amazing to see, especially the kids reactions. God bless our soldiers and their families that clearly love them dearly. And that love our freedom so dearly they separate from their families for us.

Get a box of tissue... seriously.

New Look and Feel

Again! Comfort level higher?

What is particularly striking about this video is that no one under the age of 40 knows anything about the 4th of July. Even a professor in a college doesn't know. The only person that knew all the answers was a 50+ grandfather. It demonstrates the complete breakdown of our educational system as well as the obvious appeasement of non-American peoples that attend our schools.

True or not, the mere idea of this is funny.

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in a spoof of Paranormal Activity. These two were the only reason the Oscars were worth watching. This particular parody was hilarious.

This is just cool. You can see the surprise on people's faces as these performers burst into dance in the middle of a train station.

I actually found this on another ZooLoo user's site: http://victoriaarchersguidetotheuniverse.zooloo.com/?page_name=_Graffiti
