Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Things have slowed down to a crawl for me. In fact, I spent about 15 minutes getting 404s, and not a good Buffista 404.

Is this traffic-related on the site, or am I just suffering because the internet is out to get me?

I haven't noticed any such problems, myself.

Shrift just said the over in natter:

Hmm. It seems the Internet could be hinky through Christmas Eve due to AT&T's backbone routers experiencing hinky delays, and that's just altogether too hinky for me.

I had a bit of slowness, and pages timing out, but only for a couple of minutes.

I've been having issues with speed and some inability to connect with the server for the Phoenix (maybe timing out?), but not other sites where I read also. Hmmm... Like Jesse I was chalking it up to increased traffic here which totally made sense in an "Oh No" sort of way.

It's true-- on my mother's computer, with 10.2, the fonts are anti-aliased out to *here*. They're more anti-aliasing than solid font. It's very hard to read.

There's a system preference to change the amount of anti-aliasing done. It's worth a try to play with that setting to see if there's one that looks better to you.

Also-- RL-- if you are using IE, I found that turning off IE's anti-aliasing helps A LOT!

I was having slowness issues at home, but I realized it was trying to load 66 messages at a time on my slow modem. I changed my messages down ot 20, and it was much better.

Dude. And Sophia. I thank you.
