YUCK.. myspace.. if you guys seriously ever saw their network? man.. you would say.. "THAT PILE OF GARBAGE IS MYSPACE?!?!" .... nuts. I can tell some stories. It is the worst piece of trash I have ever worked on, and I say that with the utmost. I have worked on some real pieces of junk let me tell you, but myspace takes the cake. It is racks upon racks of microshlock IIS5, coldfusion, and MSSQL with wasted EMC units on the back end for storage. Every HP dual processor server in that thing is overheating and overloaded. They have so many servers in there (bad design by their admins), and they are so over capacity for cooling, that they can not keep enough airflow in the facility so there are box fans from target sitting on fold up chairs pointed at the servers to move the heat around.

bleh!.. myspace! (*gag*)

haha...i don't think people really care to know about the backend technology or hardware capabilies as long as they can continue to post more junk.

www is the biggest garbage dump that human race could ever create.

You know...  MySpace is a total dump... BUT!

My band has hooked up tons of shows we never would have had through MySpace...  I found a couple old friends...

MySpace can be useful if you use it right... Instead of being a MySpace Whore.

I got an invitation from some chick's ass in a thong to visit her webcam! :nono:

Then I got a form letter from another girl but i think it was probably for a singles club, or escort service, or at best she was just really shallow. :roll:

Then today I got a nice note from a really cute girl who I seem to have a lot in common with!   :)

That Tom guy is a god!  Thanks Tom! :cheers:

Now I just have to brace myself for the crushing despair when she doesn't write me back..... :(

:dunno:

*shudder @ coldfusion*

Besides, this address should strike fear into the heart of any programmer:

"http://www.myspace.com/error.cfm?aspxerrorpath=/Pages/Profile.aspx"

sooo... your running coldfusion (java based) along side .net?  

Run away! Run away!

that being said, I love the site itself... met alot of old friends...

Begin Long, offtopic, nerdy rant:

Welcome to my life.

I'm currently rewriting a site that was origionally a PHP front end to a C++ server that would call perl, python, C, tcl, bash and java programs on a cluster using a broken scheduling system that doesn't cooperate with the one that's already in place, trivial to do what he wanted with and intelligent (at least comparativly). That used BerkeleyDB's raw page access to do a linear scan because a flat file makes to much damned sence and he "didn't need to level of random access a hash db would provide". That had an SQL database where normalization was a 4 letter word (I dropped 15 tables, there's 6 now). That used SQL to store session data, because its not like PHP has a $_SESSION or anything, a cron job that would delete all sessions every hour on the hour (did a long search at 5:59? Hah!). Oh, and of course, no comments. Anywhere. 6k lines of C++, 6k lines of PHP not one single damned comment.

Yeah.. Now its Python... written in less than 1/2 the time, 1/2 the code. Using docstring...

Jesus In a Tin Can, MySpace is awful  :x

I logged in. Clicked my Inbox button. Logged in again. Clicked to read a message. Logged in again. Typed out a reply. Logged in again. Found out something was seriously f%^&ed with MySpace because it said I couldn't send messages to that person at this time.

What a load of crap.

Yeah...  MySpace isn't known for its uptime or usability.

The best was when everyone's pics were [X]...  I made a pic called MySpace Pong.  It was a screen shot of pong, but everything was made up of [X].   :)

No, with Tom! :thumb:

Actually, see my previous post on page one.  That should explain it....

I have a weird sense of self deprecating humor.

I've been living in this urban wasteland for 5 years and all i've met are vapid, vacuous gold-digging bitches. and then within 5 days of myspace I found someone who can actually *think* *write* and has things in common with me.  Go figure.  I'll never speak disparagingly of people who met on the internet again.

Then again, maybe I'm just a fucktard getting ready to wear an asshat. :dunno:

I met a chick off MySpace. It was fun for a while. Then she got clingy. REAL clingy. Two weeks into our relationship she told me she was in love with me.

I was like...  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?

Two weeks. Seriously. WTF.

Also, where I worked at the time we got a break every two hours (legally mandated, yay crappy high school jobs!) and every two hours there would be 10, that's right TEN, voice mails on my cell. Every. Two. Hours.
So, in an 8 hour work day I had somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 voicemails from this girl. EVERY SINGLE DAY I WORKED.
That shaZam! got old fast.
