few bugs cleared, and discussion on the future work
I will be out for a few days. In the meantime, I took away a few other bugs (do they actually proliferate?). In particular there was a small nasty that made sure that if you were trying to memorise a map, he would make you memorise the data with the same id, and viceversa. The result of this might have driven a few people away, who knows.
In the meantime we got a new user: user Thomaspoto which generously inserted his xml data, but then did not went further to actually make the map. Also the previous user followed the same pattern, so now I am starting to be paranoid that it is not clear enough. Maybe I should spell somewhere that after you upload an xml file you still need to click on the [Make Standard Map] button.
In any case I went again in and clicked the button myself. It is also strange that no one seem to makke anybody else mindmap. I would be so curious.
But beside all this I am now working on why I can’t get mindmaps made for systems that are too big. And too big, is really not that big at all. 500 bookmarks or so. After some testing I reached the conclusion that I am not hitting the CPU limit, I am not hitting the length of process limit (I got a process running for 20 seconds before I killed it myself), so I must be hitting the RAM limit. And this is hard, so to walk around it, trying to make the calculation without being to heavy on the RAM right now I am studying how to store a whole xml in mysql. And then interacting very closely with the MySQL. Without ever holding so much data in the RAM all at once. Hopefully, eventually it might work.
In the meantime I am off, treat well the lady (the website).
