Downtime @ Wubbleyew

The site went down for a considerable ammount of time over the weekend. Apologies to all those (if there are that many of you), that tried to access the site during this time.

Apparently, the downtime was for mainantence. My host was moving to London/Dublin datacenters.

They say that I can now expect speeds 10 times faster than before. They say I should be happy with the results. What do you think? Is it faster?

    You're # 1 reader says "way faster". And it got me checking out more of your site- couldn't take the molecule quiz, I was too disturbed by the first question-"You find an injured bat..."

    OT- FireFox

    Do you know anything about FF not giving the latest update to a page without a forced refresh? I just noticed it, do I need to dump my cache or something? Post reply here or at my site- Thanks brother

    Some of the older stuff on the site might very well be invalid code, and badly formatted for this template. If you come accross anything - besides injured bats - then let me know.

    About FFox; I havn't come accross anything - I dont think - but then, if I was to come accross a page that had been updated, and firefox was caching it, I wouldn't know would I.

    I have, however, heard about Firefox caching imported style sheets quite strongly. This is not a bug - becuase external CSS is ment to get cached. But it does mean that sometimes, users wont get a bang up to date version of a style sheet until they force the refresh (f5).

    The way to get around this - althought I never have - is to use a new name for new style sheets. this will force the browser to get the new version. But you probably know that.

    What exactly is the problem your having?

    Hey, I just missed you, went to the store for coffe- it's 6am here.
    I'm not sure if ther is a problem. Just my browser got a little twitchy yesterday, then it crashed. I restarted it w/out even needing to reboot my comp, and all is fine since. Who knows, ghosts in the machine... see my site re: your other post.

    I've read your posts. and I decided to catch up with you and post my own rss feeds.

    Sorry, I forgot to answer your question... I'd leave the feed the way you have it for now, just my opinion. Looks good!
