New blog URL

I am reorganizing my blogs, and will now take advantage of the labels concept of Blogger. The new URL is:

http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/search/label/chemicalblogspace

MySQL database playing up

A quick note to confirm the problems with the MySQL database. I will look at it shortly, but do not have time today.

Chemical blogspace back online

The new server hosting the indexing scripts seems to have a more strict memory usage, and the code base really needs an overhaul. Practically, this meant that the indexing failed because of running out of memory, causing the system to not index at all anymore. I have done some clean up, and Cb is back online.

Update server of Chemical blogspace offline

Some of you noted and reported that Chemical blogspace has not seen any updates since March 4. I can confirm this problem, which is likely due to server movement on our ISP. My apologies for the inconvenience, and I hope to restore indexing on short notice, but given other priorities, I cannot give an ETA yet.

New Blogs #12

A bit more than four hands full of new blogs in the four months since New Blogs #11. Importantly, I have disabled the Accelrys blog in favor if the blogs of its individual contributors, Dana, George, Gerhard, Max, Nancy and Shikna. This is not to boost the number of blogs, but merely reflects that Cb focuses on personal (accountable) opinions and not corporate blog (which is often polluted with to much advertisement).

Would you be annoyed to see some Google Ads?

Would you object to seeing Google Adsense ads on the Cb website? The money it would bring up would be donated to a charity involved in promoting Open Science. Please let us know, either as comment on this blog item or by email.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
