Welcome to My World

Well, it sure didn’t take long for Dreamhost’s servers to buckle under the FastCGI-based “performance upgrades” on Willfe.com. Others have complained about it before, so I’ll just reiterate it here that sticking MySQL and the PHP front end on separate servers might sound like a good idea, but in effect it just really slows things down.

I’ve moved Willfe.com and the gallery to different hosting. I actually couldn’t move the gallery, and in fact I had to recreate it, which means graphics referenced in old posts are again broken until I find and update them. Sigh. Stuff should generally be much, much faster now, pretty much all the time. Unless a damned outage kills the box or the network

Note: Spammers and such, beware — all the same anti-spamming and DoS stuff is still up and running, so don’t think a host switch means free reign to blast the site with comment spam
