BlackBox

I just wanted to apologize to those who suffered through my incredibly slow server viewing my blog posts. There were a few factors involved in this problem, but the primary one was the fact that I was running only on 256 mb of RAM (I thought it was 512 but after I pulled it I noticed it was a mere 256 which explains alot). I got some new RAM from Crucial and it’s now at 2 gb! Yay! You should notice a dramatic speed increase and I will be posting more often now that I don’t have to worry about people getting the incredibly slow render time on things. I’m going to be working on the other factors that caused the slowdown this weekend (I have a Confluence instance running for my local JUG that was running off of HSQLDB instead of MySQL, so that’ll be changing soon).

Thanks to everyone who stuck through with me on this one and suffering the slow loads, they should be all gone now! And I’ll be making more frequent blog posts so stay tuned I have several in my box including one on Tapestry 5, my thoughts on bi-directional code generation, some of the work I’ve done with CLIBuilder for Chama and more.
