journal search is down, may be down for a few days

[karzilla]

The machine that powers the journal search feature appears to be having some technical difficulties, and the content database may need to be rebuilt from scratch again. The last time this happened, it took a few days, so be prepared to wait for a bit for that feature to be back up and running normally. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Update: as of August 8 12:00PM CDT, the rebuild is about 25% done.

Unrelatedly: with Twitter in slow collapse, do you have/are you planning another "external Dreamwidth status" solution?

I know that denise has been evaluating alternatives, but she hasn't found anything suitable yet.

Yeah, I've been looking, but there is just nothing that's as suitable, sigh. Everything either is heavyweight solutions geared towards full incident tracking/outage reporting or costs a huge amount of money or both.
