Cache Miss

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

I posted on the 5th about how the travel page now shows all my travels.  Well, I also mentioned that the page loads really slow.  I’m happy to say that I greatly improved the processing bottleneck that existed.  I implemented caching which has sped things up considerably.  Previously, the travel page took ~7 seconds.  The [...]


Worldly Travels

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

New Photos Location

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

For a long time I’ve had a photo section on my site. Initially, I wrote the code that just searched through a directory structure for pictures that I had stuck in there. This worked fine for what I initially wanted, but didn’t scale well. Plus, it was quite slow. At the [...]

Domain Name Change

Friday, January 25th, 2008

I set up some 301 redirects on my old domain which should make the transition as painless as possible for [...]

Various Un-needed Tweaks

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

I decided I wanted to do some maintenance on this site, and so updated the design slightly. The updated design fixes some tweaks with the layout that I’ve been wanting to do for some time. It also moves the sidebar back to the right, where it usually is. In general, the site [...]


Santa Barbara News Press Apartment Feed

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

I’ve been hunting for apartments in Santa Barbara recently, and one of my resources is the Santa Barbara News Press newspaper site. However, there isn’t any way to tell new postings. And since there are so many listings, I couldn’t remember them all. So I created a script that scrapes the Santa [...]


Several Site Updates

Friday, July 7th, 2006

So over the past week I’ve pushed out several updates to this site. First I went ahead and changed the design somewhat. I like it better now, it seems less dark than before. Also, I cleaned up the page generation on the backend by increasing the modularity of all the pages. [...]
