Tweaked pool config on the live servers - now max 10 resources per pool, 3 min spare.

This means that even at maximumum usage we shouldn´t run OOM. Tested lots today, refreshing multiple search tabs simultaneously and they get serialised as expected. This is a good thing. We also run at a lower overhead overall.

Updated stats pages to fix image link.

Updated admin pages similarly.

Integrated lucene 1.4 mergefactor changes into current codebase, redeployed on import server. Index merge now takes 1 hour, which is still not great, but better.

Extended search opportunities looking promising. Next project is to move the whole search operation to struts. We´re looking for:

1. Compatibility with published URLs.
2. A no-hits page which remembers what you´re after.
3. A pre-search filter which simplifies your search if it´s just unreasonable.
4. Support for extended search options.

Matt did his thing; updated US server won´t boot? Fax over a bash script and talk the salesman through it. That boy is a diamond.

In other news, today marks two years since Johanna and I got married. Gone by in a flash.
