Today I was faced with migrating my P202 installation from one host to another. As normal, I ran the mysqldump command on the old server to dump the database and scp’d it over to my new host – went to import and I got a bunch of errors like this; ERROR 1016 (HY000): Can't open file: './202_SITENAME/202_locations_block.frm' (errno: 24) ERROR 1016 (HY000): Can't open file: './202_SITENAME/202_locations_block.frm' (errno: 24) ERROR 23 (HY000): Out of resources when opening file '....

Why would I do such a thing??! Pretty straightforward really – I’m sorry to say this about OpenX because I really did like them for a number of years. Lately, they’re just shit.

A couple summers ago, I met this cat at Affiliate Summit East. Since then we’ve talked more on the Internet, and even partnered on a few ventures and had some moderate success. We also met up occasionally at conferences too. Last week, he happened to have some time available so he came up to chill in Canada for about 9 days.
