Re: Geeks

first one?

First one maybe?

I think the ad's might have messed it up. I'm on a really fast connection here at work though, and at home. I'm guessing a dialup fellow could tell us. I think the only delays we are seeing are due to all the hops.

Re: Geeks

I'm at work at the moment, so I'm on a T1; there was a very small difference (the first being faster); I had no problems with either one.

Thanks for sweating the geek stuff.

Re: Geeks

Yeah, what they said. On first attempt, the difference was minimal. On second attempt, the first one was definitely faster.

Re: Geeks

No question about it....

The first one was much faster.

Thanks for your efforts, Blip.

Re: Geeks

On my computer, the second one was MUCH faster.

#2 on home computer...no comparison!

Re: Geeks

On my painfully slow dial up it took between 40-50 seconds to load the first page and 50-70 seconds to load the second.

Re: Geeks

Although this may a problem with my laptop, I have noticed the chat has been markedly choppy and slower since 3/14. Occasionally I need to refresh the screen to get new messages.

Also, it no longer reports when one leaves the chat room, or at least not always.

Re: Geeks

Is it just me? I'm getting error messages on _all_ MO pages like "Warning: Unable to include '/cgi-bin/ads/news1_ads.pl' - error finding URI in /home/nuke/themes/MO/header.php on line 22" every place an ad is supposed to appear (hmm, this might be bad for ad revenue), and when I tried to click on the home page image map, I get a permission error. Assuming it's not just me, well, Brent, the moral is, never put new code on your production system immediately after having worked on it into the wee small hours of the morning.

I'll try logging out and in again and see if that helps (was logged in via cookie).

 

[wwalkersd]

Re: Geeks

Nope, logging out and in again doesn't help. I'm surprised I can post.

Re: Geeks

Hey blip

I am not as much of a geek as you are, but I am getting there.

I believe that second page was faster by a significant amount. This was from my adsl connection. I will try again from home at lunch wwhich is a 36.6 dial up connection.

Re: Geeks

you guys are crazy. I'm at work w/ a t1 and

#2 is way faster. Maybe 'cuz I'm in Californina and there are fewer hops or something.

Re: Geeks

The first page loaded in ten seconds, the second took nine on a T-1 line.

 

[skinhead]

Re: Geeks

the first one was at most a cun+ hair faster, but it really was barely noticable

 

[starvingstudent]

Re: Geeks

The second one took 10 seconds; the first took 15. I'm using DSL from a my college dorm's ethernet system.

Re: Geeks

I've seen some similar messages like this over the past few days. But they were never consistent, happening for a time, then going away the later when I went to that page.

 

[stevegrab]

Re: Geeks

Both pretty much the same, on a high speed connection (partial T1 I think) from work.

I'll try to remember to test dial up connection at home tonight.

 

[stevegrab]

Re: Geeks

As others reported, if I test it a second time, the first page is much quicker. Like 10 seconds vs 25-30.

Before, both were about 20 seconds, with the first page maye being slightly faster. Still at work, high-speed connection.

Re: Geeks

First one took 26 seconds, the second one took 40 seconds, still slow, using a 56 k modem running at 48k

So, it saved me 14 seconds ! woo-hoo...
