Performance

At this moment the new website is life for 12 hours. Yesterday evening I went to see Tibor, as Guus Bosman.nl runs on his server.

When I came there it turned that out that one of the harddisks of the webserver had crashed, for the 2nd time. There wasn't very important data on these disks, but we still tried to recover some of the information during the evening. I the mean time (while Tibor was downloading software) I installed PHP, MySQL and PhpNuke on the webserver, this went pretty smooth. Around 23:15 the installation was complete but there was something technical wrong, that I couldn't find a solution for. I went home, and this morning I found the answer, and I put the website life!

People told me that it looked nice but that the website is too slow to be able to tell. I looked into software caching for PHP, but frankly I don't think that that would really do the trick. It's a low-traffic site, and the performance lag is related to the server: it's an old 486 with 24 MB memory. That's just not strong enough ;)

So if anybody has an old computer with >= 32 MB memory in it, and wants to get rid of it, please let us know, I would be very happy with it.

For now: I hope you'll still enjoy Guus Bosman.NL. For those users with a slow connection or no time to wait I'll put a HTML copy of my logbook online as often as I can. This will be reachable through www.guusbosman.nl/blogger.html.
