Oh boy...

In the old days when ad revenue was good, I use to pay $175 a month just for someone to do all this UNIX stuff.

With ad revenue declining, yet traffic still remaining up I had to take on the task myself.

I don't claim to be an expert and I admit I am always learning new things.

Plus the fact that to me this is like having a sports car, I strive to make it the best and as fast as possible. Speaking of speed... I noticed a few minute ago we didn't have GZIP enabled. This compresses the web pages to send them to you faster (as its a smaller file being transferred to you) It is enabled now. And now the site is a little snappier.

Maybe I am like Scotty from Star Trek... "I am giving it all I got Captain!"

I also noticed a change from this time going forward- previously there had often been long delays in posting. Now don't even see any short ones.

The speed on this new server kicks butt....

Sometimes I refresh the page and I don't even see it refresh... so I hit the refresh button again a few times before I realize it DID refresh!

Same observation.

Oop, did you see what happened there, lightning-quick? Haven't had that.
