Site Maintenance

You might have noticed some performance issues around here this past week. Unfortunately, I never managed to isolate the problem.

This morning, I got tired of scratching my head and settled on the scorched earth option. I backed up the database, wiped the directory, did a new Wordpress install, imported all of my existing content into a new database (on a new server), and started rebuilding the site. I’m still in the process of putting everything back together again, so if something looks funky or doesn’t work correctly, bear with me.

Thankfully, the site no longer takes a half minute to load.

    Ah, 2008. Remember when half a minute load time was fast?

    Ooh, the tabs at the top of the page have rounded corners now!

    I was actually planning to make the tab corners square again, but the new look is kind of growing on me. It’s less work to leave them as is, at least.

    The pictures work in google reader now too.

    I salute your admirable dedication.

    By the way, I visit this place every time I get on the Internet, simply because of the harmonious simplicity of the design - and your philosophical take on anime.

    Glad you are back from your holiday.
