Goobertech gets a kick in the ass.

Things have been kinda pokey around here lately. So I’ve done a few things to speed it up.

  • The pages are now cached per session. This means images already viewed will be faster. You can always over-ride this manually by deleting your browsers cache. Otherwise it will happen automatically every hour.
  • The various drupal css sheets are now conglomerated with java. Instead of multiple server draws to load each style sheet, the latest Drupal can splice them all together and make just one server call. This alone should make the largest difference.
  • Background images are once again prettified and reduced to load faster.
  • Not speed related — but pixel problems have been rectified. No one will probably even notice anything here, but a lot of little issues that have been bugging me have been fixed. Namely the task link positions at the end of each entry and various gallery function pages.

I’m not even going to bother looking at how Internet Explorer mucks things up now. If you still using that sorry browser it’s your own damn fault. Get with it and join the rest of the intelligent world with Firefox.

My camera is fancy and takes cool pics of you and all kinds of stuff. Look for your captured likeness in my gallery and peek at other victims of the camera’s flash.

Love is like a campfire: It may be sparked quickly, and at first the kindling throws out a lot of heat, but it burns out quickly. For long lasting, steady warmth (with delightful bursts of intense heat from time to time), you must carefully tend the fire.
