time for another site update just after the olympics started. mostly technical stuff that is not terribly exciting, but anyway. one thing that i hope is kind of noticeable, is that i'm using zend cache now on a lot of news and gallery pages, so there should be a lot less database access tying up the server (and we all know how poor mysql is on dreamhost). basically storing data in the cache for retrieval rather than having to ask the database every time. i fixed the comments feed, now it shows all comments whether they are for the same item or not, which is good, so it's possible to keep track of all comments all the time. i found a fix for the timezone thing, can't remember where exactly, but it was a tutorial linked from phpdeveloper.org on how to use pear GeoIP and the maxmind database (binary format), i was previously using the maxmind csv and importing into the database, but this way, there is no database read so it theoretically is much more efficient. seems to be working so far, so that's good enough for me.
that is all, i took the picture at the melbourne vs geelong tom wills game last night, and in the spirit of the game, i made it look like it was from olden times 
. too bad there was only one team there last night
