MyMiniCity: Cable Forum - Page 204

I guess if we all made comments on the Bulletin Board then the amoeba would soon scroll out of sight.

Our citizens have been very quiet of late, maybe I ought to threaten...I mean tempt....... them with a Cabbage Festival.

We are 2672 point behind Dacoon and catching up fast so soon to be number 6.

We are not a number but a free city!

Tinky · 22-07-2009, 08:34

A few more added.

Only 2000 pop now needed to move us up to 6th ranking City in the UK.

Myminicity is down today so no clicks are regitering and Utopia has frozen at 131 links.

As Molly has already said myminicity site is down.

It is coming up to 48 hours since it was last working and there has been no explanation given. Motion Twin who built the game don't have any forum etc. and attempts to contact them do not seem to have been successful. All the other games they run, including the French equivalent to myminicity, are running normally. Utopia does have a forum and one of the members over there, Ekkythump, has posted the following commenting on the details showing when you try to open up any city.

I have been given this useful insight by a colleague:

Quote:

To a computer geek, the reason is clear. If you look at the message, you will spot:
Duplicate entry '2147483647' for key 1

That large number is 2 to the power 31 -1, or in other words, the largest number you can store in a 32-bit database field. The MMC people evidently didn't think they would reach 2 billion views, but they have.

The easiest fix would be to increase the field width to 64 bits, which would increase the highest number to 9223372036854775807 - over 4 billion times higher. The trouble is that they will probably have to re-write a lot of their code to incorporate the change, to say nothing of how long it will take their database to make the change.

I don't know what any of our own "Geeks" make of the above.

Makes sense to me.

Peter_ · 26-07-2009, 10:56

The Myminicity site is still down

joglynne · 27-07-2009, 12:58

...

6th place.

Earlier this morning the myminicity site came back on line and I am happy to say we currently have 281 more citizens than Dacoon putting us in 6th place.

We are 10698 behind Doldsville for 5th place so keep up the good work everyone.

I'm clicking as much as I can seeing as I can't do much else at the moment. Never thought I would get so bored doing nothing.

Angua · 29-07-2009, 07:49

Don't know if it is just me but Utopia seems very slow and skips a lot of cities

I have noticed that there seems to be a higher number of members showing as active, presumably trying to make up for the myminicity server being down for so long, and this may be part of the reason for the site being slower but I would think that the skips are down to the servers for the various games that Utopia visits. Normally one of the mods is fairly quick off the mark to switch off sites that are skipping so we don't get to see many but there does not seem to be as many mods about the last couple of days.

Keep an eye on the Utopia Forum in the Bugs section as some one has brought the subject up in a thread headed "Problem with Supermode & Firefox 3.5 "

Following an announcement on the City News bulletin I thought I would provide a copy of to-days Brassica Daily News for those citizens who do not have it delivered.

........

.. and, Yes, I have toooo much time on my hands and I am still bored with not being able to work.
