Not my Bad!
I don't know if this is even an issue, but I am updating Mondays-Tuesdays-Fridays again. This means that if you check on those days, and the comic for that day isn't up, it's probably Keenspace(yes, I know it's Comic Genesis now, but still!). I'm not blaming them specifically, but the servers have a tendency to crash every so often or so. Most of the time, they run smoothly and no one notices anything. Every 3 or 4 months, though, they sometimes crash.
I, for one, admire the 'Space admins. Working for nothing, they slave away to give me the privledge of posting Pylon totally free of charge to everyone, and if being totally free means I have to see the servers Pylon's on crash once or twice a year, that's pretty awesome. So, if you don't see the new comic, don't complain to me or Keenspace. It's all free to you, and if the comics aren't up, come back tomorrow. I certainly can't do too much, and I certainly will not pressure 'Space admins to work harder, so that's that.
Well, not like anyone's complained, that is. Most of my 100 or so readers seem pretty accepting. I say 100 or so, but that number may be higher, since the site stats for September came off a bit odd, due to it changing it's code and switching from Keenspace to Comicgen. Or whatever. Long story short, half of September's statistics were lost and half of the month was reported as 0 readers, 0 hits, 0 everything. And I know that it's not just because Pylon is new or that it's unpopular, since the graph of hits shows a steady bar, followed by huge dips where the stats were recorded as zero. So, I guess the server there was just doing... something. So I'll have to wait till October to get accurate stats.
I don't know how, but I seem to have developed a habit of making rather large posts. The whole goal of this blog was more for Pylon updates, and I guess recently I've just had more to talk about. Also, I like explaining why the site's down when it is, or why an update isn't happening on so-and-so week. I feel that if you're one of those people who's coming back every few days to check my site, I owe an explanation if it isn't up. Like today. Just wanted you to know that yes, new comics are coming, whenever Comicgen fixes what's up that is. Heck, for all I know, it's already fixed. The only times I see my site is when I FTP or Stat checker. I think I have an RSS feed in there somewhere too, it's like here or something. If you wanted it.
