Quick Site Note

I've enabled applet caching in Minx - what this means is that things like archive lists and recent comments might not update immediately, but will be cached for up to 60 seconds.  This is a big speed improvement on large and busy sites, reducing page load times in one case from 1.8 seconds to 36 milliseconds.

It seems to be working well, but if you see anything odd, let me know.

1 Alas, the spammers are back. (Go check out Wonderduck.)

2 Zapped them.  The spam filter is still glitching occasionally, and needs some care.  It will be fixed by the end of November, I promise!

3 Sometimes today when I load my own page, some of the images don't load. Just now I tried it and the CSS file didn't load; the page was unformatted. I don't know if it's related to your caching change.

4 It certainly shouldn't do that; the change only affects a couple of specific things.  But I'll take a look.

5 For some reason in IE11 on the main page, I'm not seeing the category icons next to post titles, but they do show up on the individual post pages.

6 Huh...and now after posting that last comment, they're there.

7 Lots and lots of "reset while loading" for a few days now. Seems like a DDoS, unless it's a misconfiguration, or hitting a duff server in a rotation.

8 I've seen a few of those too.  I'll reset the server processes, and if that doesn't fix it, escalate appropriately.  Or inappropriately.

9 Looks like load is up.  I'll spin up some more back-end threads.
