Update: Latest Patch Was Backed Out

Hi folks -- quick update on the patch (with the ad disclaimer and the path fix, which I talked about in my previous entry) -- everything tested well in the development and beta environments, but when the tech folks installed it live to production this morning, they were seeing "XXX MISSING STRING XXX."

As you can see from last night's entry, that wasn't one of the anticipated features -- the tech folks tried to resolve it in situ, but it didn't work and they had to back it out.

I will post more info when I get it (and when I get into the office).

Thanks -- Joe

    Humph.  Armand stole my theoretical thunder.

    The old Journaling software worked.

    This version doesn't.

    This tells us all that the putative advertising revenue is more important to AOL than the proper functioning of the journals.

    The advertising revenue is more important than the happiness of its customers.

    The advertising revenue is more important than the happiness of its employees.

    Good luck, Joe.
