> [@fredrik.coulter](#): > > Are you OK? I haven’t seen you post in a while. Yeah, I had to replace my laptop 😓 💰 and the transition to the new machine has taken longer than expected. Our household schedule has shifted a bit as well, so all the places I tucked away time to work on CityStrides don’t exist & I need to find new hiding spots. 😆 I also just needed a bit of a break. Getting this city update code to work properly has been _stressful_, between the creation of zero-node streets which confuses everyone & how it was overloading servers which caused me to shout expletives at a volume that my cats did not enjoy. > [@fredrik.coulter](#): > > still has only blue nodes rather than red and green ones that I’d expect ten hours after the event 🤔 blue nodes mean you’re either not logged in or you’re not running that city - was that activity in a new city for you? > [@fredrik.coulter](#): > > Last I checked, you thought that it was going through the cities in about a month, and it’s now been forty days The city update code has _flatlined_ in a very odd way. I have a queue for “slow” jobs (either they take a long time to complete or they _tax_ the database) & this queue is quite limited – other queues are processed by many threads and things scale up/down as load requires, but the slow queue is strictly limited to 5 threads so that I don’t accidentally the whole thing. 😄 That queue grew to 300k+ jobs and I need to figure out why – I suspect it’s affecting quite a bit of the processing (I think [Large queue of Deleted Activities](https://community.citystrides.com/t/large-queue-of-deleted-activities/21921) is related). 😅 So I’m re-assessing that situation… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.citystrides.com/t/are-you-ok/21931)._
