I know there's only 2 or 3 of you left out there, but since that means the server's as un-stressed as it's ever been, I guess it's about time I asked: How has the performance of this site been for y'all lately?
I've seen occasional issues where Chrome refuses to load pages, and captainfish has reported seeing the same in Firefox. Is this something that you see happen regularly?
Otherwise, I'm exploring a couple of redesigns to make the site a little bit easier to read, and to get rid of some of the stuff around here we never use. At this point, I'm not really crazy about this design, and while I definitely like Drupal, I've been more than disappointed with its performance, given the fact that it's an "enterprise" content management suite.
Speaking of technical wonkiness, I'm also working on the backend to rebuild a more optimized VM and potentially migrate everything over to that if it works out as well as I hope.
Lots of fun stuff to come around here, I hope. With any luck, both of you will stick around to see it!

Steven,
I've made some improvements to the Apache cache settings, and that seems to have reduced the pageload time to about 400ms (and even faster after first load). The only side effect is that comments may take up to 5 minutes to show up, but I think that's a small price to pay for improved speed. Maybe.
Let me know if this makes things run a little bit more smoothly!
Regards,
Brian
No problem for me using Chrome, running Windows 7.
Zzzzzz *snort* huh? wha?
The couple times I've been here have been fine. Load time isn't crazy fast, but it's not out of bounds. Using Firefox.
Now quit making noise, it's sleepy time. :>
Oh, and switch to Wordpress, you nerd.
