Site Sluggishness 2/27/2007

Bob - I'm glad you know what you're doing, because if it was up to me, I'd just start kicking computers until they started working....

My system administrator at work had to put my computer on my desk because everytime it doesn't work, I kick it.

Just out of curiosity, MB—do you use a side kick, a front snap kick or a roundhouse when you kick computers... and which of them is most effective?

ROFL!

I actually once had cards that read "Geek to English Translator" made.
Thank you

Ah, you cheat! Great to know our Admiral shares my secret MA philosophy. Is there a special MT private club with signet ring for us likeminded individuals? :lol:

Depends on how mad I am and how much work I've lost....the most common is a front snap kick......but I find that I have a real problem with follow-through and chambering the kick right when I'm in my rolling chair.

Plus, the corner of my computer hurts my foot when I use roundhouse....then I just get more pissed off....

Funny question here...

Since this happened, has the site been better?

..I myself prefer a palm heel strike over a kick...

Back to normal...nothing else stands out though. How do you mean 'better'?

 

[Bob Hubbard]

More responsive, less time outs, faster page loads. That sort of thing.


Reason I ask is, since I blocked Yahoo, I haven't had a page time out here on me.

Now that you mention it, it is better. Funny what we don't notice when things are going well.

I just had two do it....then I hit reload and it worked. A little sluggish. But I figured that's just because I'm in Korea and the internet sucks here.

Guys, is there any reason that the site would be sluggish again for the past few days? I can load any site I hit pretty quickly except this one over something like the last week. Pages take forever and quite often will not load at all. At first I figured it was a problem with my DSL but checked another forum that I frequent that uses pretty much the same set up as this one and all was well. Is there anything I can do on my end to speed things up?

 

[Andrew Green]

all pages, or just certain ones?

 

[theletch1]

All pages but some are a little faster than others. When I click the "forums" link on the main page and when I try to post a reply seem to take the longest. When I hit the post reply button on my last post I had time to take Tucker outside and hook him up on his runner, come back in the house and grab a cup of coffee before it finished posting my reply. The rest of the pages are taking almost a full two minutes to load...sometimes less but generally between 60 and 90 seconds.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

The main forum page is a bit code heavy. The rest of the forum pages shouldn't take too long, and the non-forum pages should be fast. I noticed some lag myself and am checking into network issues right now.

Unfortunately, we're going to have some sluggish periods until I can figure out where to pull an extra couple hundred a month to cover an upgrade.

 

[theletch1]

No problem, Bob. I just got back in from taking my daughter out to dinner for her birthday, logged on and everything is humming along. I'm usually getting on right after work (around 1300 hrs) so maybe that has a little to do with it. I'm a patient fellow and will deal with whatever comes along.

 

[Kacey]

Is there a similar problem now? Because the site's been slow since last night, although it seems to be somewhat better this morning - not great, but not as bad as last night.

 

[exile]

I've noticed the same thing... slow and somewhat erratic behavior...
