:( She can turn the notifications off by clicking on the "disable email notifications" link in the email, but then she won't know what's new in your timeline…

Just fixed a bug in PrivateLog where going to the URL of a deleted activity resulted in a server error. It now shows a "page not found" error page.

Hrm. I've never had problems with that before. I just store the dates in utc times and mysql doesn't change them (as far as I know..)

(Sorry, I'm just really tired of having to migrate datetimes between time zones…)

ugh, just store everything in UTC…

DNS propagation is a thing of the past these days. Just set TTL to 5 seconds a day before the switch and then the biggest gap will only be 5 seconds

a day!

note that you don't have the MySQL equivalent of a root account either, so you won't be able to do some advanced things like custom replication setups

that's if you want zero downtime. If you can schedule however much downtime it'll take, it's a lot easier.

yeah. Naturally the RDS instances are tuned, so you'll get better performance out of them over installing MySQL on a vanilla ec2 instance. The instance itself is (as far as I can tell) exactly the same as a t2.micro though
