Facebook Status now Cached

Hello, due to the 20-odd second load times that I was experiencing, the facebook status is now cached to MySQL every ten minutes and then output from the database to the main page.

If anyone wants any help to implement this, please leave a comment below and if there are enough interested people, I will release it as a downloadable widget!

Cheers
Stephen

Loadtimes

Over the last few days the site has been loading hideously slowly. I traced this back to the facebook status widget today and have disabled it until I reprogram it to work better

Thanks

Comments fixed

Since yesterday, or maybe the day before, comment posting has not been working. This is due to paths being different between the two webservers I had and me finally deleting all of the old files.

They should be workin again now, maybe this was why noone was posting comments

Facebook Status

I have finally after much trying for weeks managed to get my facebook status on the right-hand bar below the nav menu

I will be posting the source code for this tomorrow along with a guide on how to get it all working. I am also considering moving it to above the blogs as the menu is starting to become cluttered with crap. Please drop me a comment re: wether you think this is a good or bad idea.

Thanks
Stephen

Email

Hello

Over the past 3 hours, I have been battling to get my mail setup on my new dedi. Reason that I'm doing it so late is that it has been something I have nearly always struggled with, and the 3 hour battle I have just finished is proof of this. For that reason, I had my mail routed through my old VPS as it was setup correctly and I couldn't even begin to get it setup as well on the Dedi server.

I bravely routed my mail.groomi.net DNS over to the new IP today at about 5pm and for this reason, any emails sent to xxx@groomi.net or xxx@sjgmusic.net haven't been recieved. Please resend them if you fall into this time bracked

Thanks
Stephen
