Description Aleksandar Mancic (reporter) 2010-03-02 04:35:49 UTC

On the main maemo.org page, the random people 'widget' always shows lardman's
(http://maemo.org/profile/view/lardman) profile as the first image - all others
are changing periodically. It's been stuck like that for days (if not weeks) so
it caught my eye.

Not that I mind, but there might be some DB corruption in the Midgard CMS so I
thought to report it.

lardman's the unofficial Maemo Community mascot. I say "unofficial" because
he's actually blackmailing Niels to keep himself in the sidebar . . . or so I
hear. :D

Anyway, confirming.

He was actually paying me for the exposure, but now this scheme has to end :)

Anyway, I applied the 'larman fix' to the random member list. The algo was
skipping randomization for the first item.

Argh! You've all seen through my dastardly scheme at last!
