Feedback-notifications 2007-11-08

I've added a feature that sends an email when a user receives feedback. These notifications can be disabled under "Account" after logging in.

Upgraded the server 2007-10-23

I have now completed the upgrade on the server that runs www.my-diary.org, and things seem to be running nicely, and hopefully even faster.
The server is now running FreeBSD 7.

Please try it out and see how it works for everyone, and feel free to let me know if anyone has any questions or feedback.

Backup-function 2007-08-09

I've added a backup-function where you can download a zipped copy of your diary. You can access it after you've logged in, under "Account", below the personal information.

Please give me feedback about how this is working for you. Depending on the feedback, I'll determine if I want to keep this function it in its current form.

Timezone 2007-07-04

I added support for timezones just now. You can change your current timezone under 'Account' after logging in. The updated time will then be shown when you read your own diary. Please let me know if anyone disovers any errors, or have any comments.

Some updates 2007-05-31

I've updated the the account-section of the diary some, and added a few different color-profiles. For now, this will only be active inside the management-section, but this might change.

Routing errors 2006-03-20

There were some routing errors causing the server to be off the net for most of this weekend. This has been fixed, and should't happen again.

Added RSS feed 2006-03-09

I've added RSS feeds to all public diaries. Read more about RSS HERE.

Updates to profiles 2005-03-18

Those that have public diaries can now have some text with info outside the diary. Check out the "Profile"-menu item after logging in.
When it comes to pictures, verifying these take time, and will not be available to all. Those that have donated should have access to pictures, assuming I know who they are.

Moved to a new server 2004-11-24

The site has been moved to its own server. Both the web-pages and database are now on a dedicated server for my-diary.org. Hopefully this will mean that the site will be even more stable, and hopefully faster. I'll keep monitoring the performance and make adjustments as necessary. Please give me feedback if you notice any changes in performance.

Updates 2003-11-09

The management-area has received an update. I've removed most of the images, and switched to sessions for tracking/verification. This should improve performance quite a bit.

I'm also happy to see that more people have donated at http://www.my-diary.org/donate/

Thanks!

Let me know if there are any problems.

Updating the database 2003-09-24

Lately, the database for the diaries have been slow. I believe this is because of the massive number of entries that have been stored in the same sql-table. Today, I've been able to split it up, so things should be better now.

Upgrading the server 2003-05-12

The server where my-diary.org was upgraded, and although it took a few hours to get things working, I hope things will run better from now on.

I suspect there are a few bugs lurking, but haven't found any major problems. If anyone spots any, please let me know.

Changes to the public diaries 2003-01-08

I've made some changes to the way public diaries are displayed. Many have requested this change, and I hope this will make viewing the diaries easier. The colours may change until I'm happy with the result.

Thanks to all those that have emailed me suggestions and feedback.

The problem with exclamation points has been fixed 2002-12-09

After the server-upgrade some of the filters were changed. As a funny result, exclamation points didn't make it into the diaries. This has now been corrected.

Thanks to those that made me aware of the problem.

Search-box added 2002-11-21

I've added a search-box to the listing of entries in your diary. That way, you can search your entries. Please let me know if you spot any problems with it, or if you have other suggestions. Feedback is really appreciated.

I'd also like to use this opportunity to thank the people who have sent cash via my donate-page. Your donations help keep this diary free.

Error in the notify-system 2002-09-19

Some of you might have noticed problems with the notify-system. There was an error in the database, which has now been corrected. Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you spot any other problems, or have any suggestions or comments, feel free to email me.

Not much happening! 2002-04-16

Not much has happened since last. I've done some bugfixing and minor changes, but nothing like I planned on. Reason? Well, things are working ok, and I haven't really had a real reason to start working actively with the site again.

I've thought about offering email-addresses (for free?). Maybe this will be something offered to those that have contributed via my paypal-account at http://www.my-diary.org/donate/

I do need feedback on what everyone wants and what needs to be changed, fixed or added. Feel free to email me and let me know what you think.

Viewing entries and new features 2001-11-19

Times have been busy, so I haven't had the time I planned for when it comes to my-diary.org. Fortunately, almost everything is fully automated, so things have been running smoothly pretty much on their own.

There have been a minor annoyance with viewing entries where quotes like " have been showing up as \". This was due to a change on the server, and it should now be fixed.

I'm planning on a number of new features and functions, like searching in your own diary, and something to let you send an entry to a friend. Also, it will be possible to specify the date of your submitted entry. I know many have been waiting for that. Expect this to be finished by the beginning of december.

As always, let me know if you have any thoughts on improving the site.
