Sorry About the Saving Bug
Posted December 12, 2007, by peter
After four weeks of quiet on the site, I just posted a question. As I mention in that question, i was recently in Greece for 2 weeks.
Well, soon as as I clicked "Save and Preview" on my question, I got a bug. Couldn't save it. So I went and fixed that bug and a couple of others related to saving content. Then I did save and post my question.
I don't know if anybody else tried entering recipes, testimonies, or questions the past four weeks and came across this bug. if so, sorry!
What's going on is that I'm in the process of reorganizing the code of the site so that it can be re-used for other sites. I'm starting a consulting business in which I'll serve as a "one man incubator" of web businesses. That is, I can develop the business model, design the products/services, prototype them on a wesbite, and even handle the intellectual property end of things.
Anyway, in this work, some bugs have crept in. On my plate is setting up an automated system for finding these bugs (Ruby on Rails is really helpful here). Formerly, my sister, drLove, served as the "canary in a coal mine" for the site bugs. But it's high time I did this job properly.
Anyway, notwithstanding my emerging consulting business, Holonation remains my personal passion. It's what I'll do for free. I love what the site is about. I guess I should since I built it.
Of course, given that participation in the site is so light (even when there aren't bugs of death), I'm all ears on how to improve the site to make it more useable.
Sorry again. Hopefully, these sorts of bugs will soon be a thing of the past as far as you are concerned.

to drLove: Interesting idea. Might be a bit tough to code though. i.e. to return meaning results.
I think it's a great site. In terms of more participation, I think it's about life and time. In the last 7 months life has been crazy and I've been trying to keep my head above water. When I have had the chance to write, it's more expiratory stuff. I dunno. I think something really quick to do .... like click,click, click and reading little bits and pieces and you're done would be a good thing. Like a stress meter or something. You click on a level - let's say 8 out of 10 - and up pops a random recipe/testimony for an '8' level of stress. Like the "universe" picked out a quicky treatment plan for you. Perhaps some recipes can be quickies and short in response to the stress meter. Or wise quotes, or funny ideas that you laugh at in response to a click on a specific stress level. Something quick. Just an idea.
