Some more progress on the most recent painting.

tng and I are off to SF tomorrow for two nights, meetings and stuff for Forever Labs. Next weekend, I am back in LA for someone's wedding. Life is a busy rollercoaster atm.

FYI we know that Hubski is slow, particularly for users with a lot of data. This will be remedied.

And here I thought Hubski was just a bit more thoughtful than usual. I like the painting, although I would have preferred a darker/more saturated blue sky to balance it out a bit more.

The site should feel significantly faster today.

It does! Especially pages with little to no content to load, like a single comment, are blazingly fast. Is the SQL transfer thingy complete then?

mk  ·  2965 days ago  ·  link  ·  

SQL transfer is almost complete, but what happened here is that calling on the data that migrated to SQL rather than what was in memory revealed inefficiencies where I had taken advantage of reading from memory. I think there may be some more low-hanging fruit in that regard.

Thanks. That much is coming to the sky. The whole painting is a bit flat atm. I actually started to darken up the sky, but the process I am using requires some drying in between application.

October is nuts.

And all other months,

That comma makes your post look like a #writingprompt.

Ha ha... I needed that after reading devac's post. I'm tempted to fix it - or keep it as a writing prompt:

October is nuts

And all other months, hours, days, years

Are filled with our rushing, our longing, our fears.

Walnuts are in in season in October. Much tastier and easier to crack than the Political nuts.
