Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Good news and bad news before the new season starts

    Bad news first, owing to increases in licensing costs for the host the site was with, I won't be able to update the existing site for much longer. I was told that the account was going to be closed on the 3rd August, but it's still running at the moment and I was able to update it this morning with the season's fixtures to date. However I don't know how long more I will be able to
    You can view the fixtures to date here - http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroad/dateDetails.xquery

    On to the good news. Well, better news anyway.
    Google have recently made server space available to host web applications for free using the Google App Engine here: http://code.google.com/appengine/
    The downside of this is that all of the code I have written for the existing site (XML documents with XQuery scripts if you're interested) will have to be rewritten in Java and JSP. Not only this, but 3 seasons worth of data has to be uploaded to the server, and because of timeout settings imposed by Google, this has to be done manually, one game day at a time, instead of all at once.
    I've started working on the code side of things first, and you can see some of the embryonic results so far here:
    Date details: http://tetsujin1979.appspot.com/GameDayDetails
    Club details: http://tetsujin1979.appspot.com/ClubDetails
    Player details: http://tetsujin1979.appspot.com/PlayerDetails

    Since this all has to be written from scratch, I've been able to add in some new stuff that I've meant to get around to for a while now, but due to restrictions on the XQuery implementation I was using, and just sheer laziness, I never did.

    Hopefully I'll have it looking good as new, or at least not as crap as the old site, by the end of the month


    I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly thank soccerc (doesn't post a lot here, but fairly active on foot.ie and ybig.ie) for all the help he's given me over the last 2 seasons in getting the site up and running. There's no way I'd have been able to do it without him.
