Don't Panic

By Patrick on February 19, 2005 9:38 AM |

A word of advice. When you write a script that uses the Flickr API and it stops working from your server, hosted off a DSL line at a friend's house in the SF Bay Area, do not start freaking out and posting the the Flickr API Group or the Flickr API mailing list about a possible IP block on API calls. Instead, go through the logs on the machine and find that overnight kswapd, in a "out of memory" panic, went "ape poopy" crazy and randomly killed processes (like named) so that the script could no longer resolve flickr.com. Just sayin'...
