A few tweaks, courtesy of the ever-more-impressive wordpress, which powers all that you see.
I’ve had a few server related problems this last couple of weeks. MySQL backing up, load rising, apache processes growing, and load rising as a consequence. Combine that with MailScanner going a little AWOL at times (Spamassassin is chewing up a lot of CPU), and things can just snowball into an unresponsive server.
So in order to address this, I’ve just installed wp-cache, which, well, caches the pages and serves them much quicker. Reduces the amount of database activity considerably, and has already improved the responsiveness of the website.
You’ll also notice the little icons at the foot of each page. These come courtesy of wp-notable, which enables the various social bookmarking services to be used a bit more conveniently. Not sure if they’ll remain a feature for ever, but will see how things go for now.
