Never having been down this street before, I snapped a few pics of it. That guy walking up the road is a van driver who stopped to talk and joke with me before heading off!
Compress Me!
This technique is an old one. Feed your content through the PHP output buffer using the gzip handler, then at the end flush it out to the browser.
Even if the text doesn’t compress well, just using the output buffer results in slightly less network traffic as the data is sent in one big blob. I have to investigate if the HTTP headers are affected yet but it seems to be working fine.
The Willful
The Willful played in the Coal Quay Bar last night and went down a storm! Great night, especially as I hadn’t been to that pub in months!
Broadband in Blarney!
Woohoo! I got the DSL connection going eventually! *phew* My phoneline extension cable isn’t the greatest, and I couldn’t remember the password I entered when I signed up for the 3 month free trial with IOL.
Naughty IOL – you should email the username and password when you send that nice advertising blurb after signup!
/me got a big grin on my face!
30 Seconds to Good Light
In this essay it’s the timing that’s all important. It’s amazing the difference a shaft of golden sunlight makes to a dull overcast scene!
Keepers – what to keep
In Keepers, Lain Briot tackles the question of, “what photographs to keep.”
I avoid that question totally by keeping almost 100% of my photos, even the blurry pics of the empty street when my subject has walked off! Crank out the DVD burner again!
Diesel .. Old Times
It’s been a long time since diesel or petrol has cost so little. This morning the price of petrol has crept up again to 99.9¢ and probably more! The End Of Cheap Oil?
