No not really. It just felt that way. I did a few things: webstats, more server config, and a touch of development. Ah, webstats: the charibdis of web apps. Pulls you down into a swirling maelstrom of hits, pages, visits, sites referers (sic) until you fear you will never see daylight again!

Spent a good chunk of last week handling emergency requests for updated webstats. In the process, discovered that when I restructured the squidlogs database (to use inheritence), I hadn't finished rebuilding all the supplementary tables. Now in the process. Defined what we will call a 'content page view' in terms of a regex that matches the URL for the top of a page (either module or course). Also defined some new summary tables for "per object per day" sort of stats.

On the server side of things, finished reflashing all the iLO BIOSes (old servers, too) so we've got commandline access to iLO (hence remote power) and console for all the machines.
I've got three live servers now: two base Debian installs, and one RedHat (the HP tools expect a RedHat install)

Oh, and the A9/opensearch interface went live. If you go to A9, click on "add Columns to your Search Results", and type in Connexions, you're there. (BTW, the "New Column" picker is kind of cool: they preload the entire list of columns with the page, and use javascript to dynamically limit it as you type. It certainly doesn't scale, but it is a neat hack)
