I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yep, I've seen that on occasion today. Could it be possible to add something at the bottom of the pages indicating MySQL processing time or some such? It would help troubleshoot where the problem is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know if there's much point. Performance has changed but the environment and the code hasn't. If there is database repair to be done, the query time isn't that helpful.

I just signed up for a buffista gmail account, because I want to get an Google maps API key for the site, and I didn't want to use one of my personal gmail addresses.

The captcha code? unded. Nifty.

Huh. The reason I wanted the API code was to get us our own integrated little map. I've spent the evening tinkering with the API, and made a table and was relearning Javascript so I could code a map where you can drag and drop your marker and leave a note.

Then I stumbled onto this phoogle, and it seems the upshot of it is is that if I add a text field to everyone's user record, and they type as much of their address in they're comfortable, I can display a map. So you can be all 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 or Israel, depending on your level of comfort.

Maybe I'll go ahead and just do that. The drag and drop thing can be phase 2.

That is cool! I just typed my state in that field on my profile page if you want to test out how it's working. Also, I can't sleep. But that's not what this is about.

I know! I just noticed you were on the map.

Now is a nice time to be a West coaster, because hopefully it will be nice and full when I wake up.

Okay, I'll tidy that up tomorrow, and see if it's possible to add it to the css site. Beddie bye for me.

Populate, people, populate!
