    An Open Letter To Ben from a customer/Sys Admin (not a web developer)

    You will never get a response, and there will be plenty of people making excuses. BEN, start listening to the people who know what they are talking about, we will most likely offer to advise for free/(or a few bottles of that sweet sweet juice)

    I am so frustrated with the lack of attention to detail.

    Hmm, seems to be working for me, I can see the message you sent at some point earlier (I should add timestamps), what browser are you using? The pause on "checking" is it actually lagging on checking, when you connect it sends the server "I connected, please check", then the server starts the...

    Oh no dude, you scared the .... out of me, I was not expecting that horn to go off. But hey at least I know the realtime site works.... On a side note, I have been messaging you everywhere, If you are going to be hitting an order limit daily this site is going to be a thing, I really really...

    The realtime site is live at realtime.is-ave-open.info. It has a ton more functionality than the original ajax site, including a bored wookie chatbox. Also the updates on site status get sent to the clients from the server, rather than your client asking the server if anything has changed...

    Come on guys..

    When you get a minute can we talk about adding an open/closed API for your site? is-ave-open.info and the beta site realtime.is-ave-open.info would have much less an impact with a simple "echo json_encode(true/false)" depending on if the site was open. As it is now I'm scraping the front page...

    Hey guys, I'm going to be (hopefully) rolling out v.06 later tonight, in anticipation of the re-launch tomorrow. This is a ground up rewrite in Node.js using websockets, so it is in realtime. Changes include. Realtime avejuice update engine™ Connected client counter Realtime chat...

    I haven't tested it in IE, but its cached on the server so if nothing changes the site shouldn't change. If you can open f-12 then refresh the page you can see what it is doing in the "console" window. The original site content is loaded in with AJAX, so if you can see "YES" or "NO" instead of...

    Exactly the opposite, it can honestly handle 1+ k requests a second without falling over. Assuming 1000 connections to my server, at peak times is 6000 requests a minute, from the standpoint of Ave's server, they only see 4 connections (from my server) in that same minute. I sent Ben a facebook...

    I implemented those changes I mentioned in V.05, so you can pretty much sit on the page 24/7. Before it just polled my server every 15 seconds and sent the data back to the client, my server would then poll Ave's site every 15 seconds and save the data, this way even if 1000 people are connected...

    Soon, though I want/need to have a real API on AVE's end, then I can just run a little node.js app to hit that endpoint when needed and use Google cloud messaging to push to the app. Ill probably end up re-writing the entire thing in Node when I get to that point.

    Here you go, lol As soon as their site is finalized I will be adding some time checks to my code, It really only needs to be checked aggressively as opening time approaches, and once it is open it really only needs to check every 10 -20 minutes. After all noone is waiting around to see it close...

    So everyone knows how hard it is to order from AVE due to their popularity (This is going to go double when they reopen). So I wrote this site to aid in getting there as soon as possible after they open, while hopefully reducing the load on their server as much as possible. Is Alien Visions...

    Website Redesign Update

    I wrote something for this, I should make a new post.

    UPDATE: For AVE"s temp closing.

    I've been pretty hard on Ave. But Im pretty sure it was their CC processor that was compromised along with several others. Unless something really screwy is happening with a vendor (any online vendor) they don't even have your credit card #. (If you are so inclined next time you are making an...

    So Alien Vapor Officially comes up #1 in a google search for "Boba's Bounty".

    This is what happens when you let all of your site links turn 404 and Google bot crawls them.

    Melodrama

    Blah blah blah, no one is immune to criticism, and in the end it only serves to make them better. Its 2013, I can and have ordered stuff from China and had it in my hand 4 days later. Yes things happen, yes issues come up, but when a vendor constantly have issues you expect everyone to just shut...

    Sneak peek at the new store.

    I know right, screw all of those people who are buying from alien vapor due to them coming up higher in a Google search for "Boba's Bounty". They should have been hanging out here to find out what is really happening right? Just like all the people who had to come here to find out that Ave was...
