2,000th Post, and a Performance Boost to Go With It!

Fri, 2008-05-02 01:47 — willfe

This is the site’s 2,000th “node,” and barring a few management bits (categories, mostly), that means this is just about the two thousandth blog entry here on Willfe.com (gallery.willfe.com was also updated). Conveniently, this milestone comes as I successfully completed the arduous task of custom-building PHP for FastCGI on this DreamHost server, and to my surprise things actually are a decent amount faster. I haven’t managed to get APC (the caching beastie for PHP) working just yet, but should have that going shortly. Once that is working, things should go even faster.

Here’s to two thousand more posts on Willfe.com without a lawsuit! Smiling

Update: After much futzing around, FastCGI is properly enabled now and brought APC along for the ride. Holy shit, things are much faster now. Go play around in the gallery; it’s enough to bring a tear to your eye Eye
