Changed one letter
I changed on letter in the basic structure of the web site. It was an inspired answer to question not asked by most people, and that one change made all the difference.
Then I got to see how many broken links were going to crop up. When the moon was at its fullest peak, I was busy hammering away, trying to fix all the broken problems, figuring I’d **finally** hit on the one, easy, simple, elegant solution to \\all\\ my problems.
28.8 dialup access is still pretty slow, but I’ve managed to pare away at the size of the code, reducing it from 100K, then to 80K, and now down less than 60K in size, and the software estimates it takes less than 20 seconds on 56.6 modem to roll up the whole picture.
Of course, on a slow connection the pictures will be the problem. Even those have been resized, cropped, dusted, and the smudge print removed. Plus the pictures are usually reduced in size – again, to make the page faster, easier to access.
So I was looking at a Wednesday with nothing happening when the phone started ringing. Two Aries, a Virgo and Libra. “See?” the one Virgo was asking, “am I good luck or what?” I wound up going to the Alamo Drafthouse for a free midnight movie. A truly bad movie, comical because it was so funny because it was so very bad. Never see this one cable, it’s that bad. Called “Freeze Bomb.” But the company was agreeable, and the pizza was good, but do the math, the movie started at midnight, means I wasn’t near a computer, and not able to check the scopes until I got in late. So it was a really late night, fixing what wasn’t really broke. But it’s all working now. Low bandwidth, or more suitable for broadband.
