Brief outage due to getting more popular.

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Hi everyone,

sorry for the brief outage this afternoon/evening.

This was due to PlanetJudo exceeding the bandwidth limits allowed on the server, because of all your lovely visits!

Sorry for the outage, all back to normal now.

Dead feeds (17 June 2009)

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Hi all,

this is a just a post to let people know that several feeds are not working on the site and to ask you the visitor to www.planetjudo.com to help me get them sorted out. Maybe you know the sites or the clubs in question and could talk to someone about the sites?

  • http://www.meiji.org.uk/blog/feed/atom/
  • http://bruneljudo.com/news/?feed=rss2
  • http://battlegrounded.com/?cat=6&feed=rss2

If anyone can help get these Judo websites back into action and onto PlanetJudo I’d appreciate it.
And as always if you know of a Judo website that you’d like added please let me know and/or contact the website in question.

PlanetJudo Updates

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Just a couple of small things to update everyone on:

  1. Faster, faster, faster! So the site was struggling under the strain of increasing visitors and more feeds (with more content). So I have made a couple of changes to improve the caching of the pages and of the RSS feed. This should make the site load faster for you when you visit the site; whilst maintaining the fresh-nish of the data.
  2. iPhone optimised site faster. As a result of the improvements in the site generally, the iPhone specific site is running much better.
  3. Twitter integration continues, it’s still running nicely.
  4. More blogs! This week I launched a new website I am partnering on http://martialconversations.com this is a social networking site for martial artists, including Judoka. So I am looking forward to adding some of the blogs from there to the site as they develop!
  5. Spanish site continues to grow! Thanks to Ipai for the hard work the Spanish site is growing, please do forward your Spanish Language Judo sites to me for inclusion.
