We had a little hiccup last night. Luckily the backups kicked in and all is not lost. The blogs will be there, just delayed a little bit. Thank you for your patience!
Update 4:47pm CT
Just wanted to touch base. We did all the processing but for some unknown reason, all of our date-stamps went in as 4/21/2007 so when the blogs ran, no one had any data... therefore no updates were made to any records (it pretended like the tag wasn't registered yet because it didn't have two consecutive entries to compare). SO! That simply means that we have to re-insert today's data with the correct date... so that just means more delay. So we are working on it! Stay tuned!
Update 7:13pm CT
Blogs are appearing. They are about 1/3 of the way done. So if you don't see yours yet, it will get there. We won't be updating badges today because I want to get the recaps done before midnight. Badges will update tomorrow.
Update 11:09pm CT
Everything is more or less there. The Weekly recaps are going out and should finish up in the next hour or so. Hopefully things will run a little smoother tomorrow. The sad part is we don't know why these jobs just randomly fail... they work fine for weeks and then one morning you wake up and its not there. Why? And you can't say we haven't looked into it... oh man have we ever... still no answers.
It's okay... i forgot to play yesturday.... you can skip mine so i can keep my 10 day badge that i finally got!!! lol... j/k

Idk how u guys run anything or whatever and i dont know what u researched but....
Did u look into what you use to run the jobs and its memory being full? Like say u use a server type machine(lol) to run the jobs. does the server save the data? If it does maybe the jobs fail because there is no room to save anymore... just a thought sorry if u already looked into that.

That has actually happened in the past... but we have come up with a fix to prevent that (hopefully). So in this case, that wasn't what happened. We have some software that triggers off the jobs based on time and sequence and for some reason it simply did not fire... No errors... nothing... just decided not to work that day. It works every other day!
