Lunarpedia:History

12 September 2006

Implementation 1 was set up by Dana Carson and Mike Delaney using CGI PHP on Cyberteam's pb7 server and remotely accessing MySQL from a Hosting365.ie account, possibly on a server located in Belgium. It was renowned for its slowness.

Implementation 2 was set up as PHP 5 running on its own Apache server on pb7 using port 8888, with a small amount of speed improvement over Imprementation 1. For unknown reasons it wasn't possible to change user account status, and both it and Implementation 1 ran simultaneously using the same remote database.

Implementation 3 was set up completely on Dreamhost, and Implementations 1 and 2 were immpdiately redirected towards it. Speed was considerably improved.

06 April 2007

136 updates on this day. 93 by Mike Delaney, albeit most of a maintenance nature. 27 were by James Rogers, 11 by James Gholston, 3 by 207.114.17.39 (Tom Riley?), 1 by Tom Billings, and 1 by IntrplnetSarah. Efforts on this day at finding an extension to provide historical statistics and a better benchmark than counting updates for records (especially one that's not as easy to deliberately stuff) were not successful.
