Random slowdowns and non-existence

geek alertA heads up for readers who occasionally get gibberish or worse when visiting johnaugust.com: it’s not just you. The front page occasionally takes forever to load, or fails completely. I’d be tearing my hair out, but I keep it very short (a “1″ on the clippers, thank you very much).

For once, I’m glad to report it has nothing to do with WordPress or my questionable coding skills. Rather, there are some load issues on the server that hosts the site. Hopefully, we’ll have things running better within the week. Until then, please check back later if you have trouble getting to the site.

    Works great for me with Microsoft Explorer :).

    The culprit turned out to be hardware: only one of the four CPUs in the server I was hosted on what functioning. Things seem to be a lot faster. Let me know if your mileage varies.

 

About

This site is run by screenwriter John August. Mostly, he answers reader-submitted questions about the craft, but occasionally he goes on tangents that run far afield of writing and filmmaking. You'll also find info on past, present and future projects.
