The dang livejournal system kept saying it had taken my journal entry, but wouldn't show it, even after I re-entered it. When I asked to edit the last entry submitted, it showed the entry before. Okay, maybe its my machine. So I reboot, log back on, re-enter the text, and resubmit it. No dice. Try again. NOW there are FOUR copies of the damn thing! Okay, no problem, I'll just erase three of them. Ask to edit the last entry. Nope, its never seen any of the four copies. So, I'm just going to go to bed now, and I assume, whatever the dang system says, that this message will eventually show up explaining what happened.

So Stephen's theory is

that there are about a dozen servers arranged pretty much they way we were planning at SG. Theoretically they should be in approximate synch, but at the moment as soon as the load goes up propagation starts taking on the order of 20 minutes. As far as I can tell, so long as you get a confirmation it was really logged; if you get an 'empty page' return, there really was a load failure and you really do need to resubmit.
