So, I had been getting annoyed at the loading times for my website, and I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. It didn’t seem to be the connectivity of the server, or the way I had structured the classes and coding of the php I had written. It turns out that I helped drown several polar bears by contributing to global warming by forgetting to reapply the indices to the database tables after the migration! I can be such a dumbass sometimes, and if Marco tells me that the webserver has burnt a hole in the floor trying to compute all the requests to the database coming from my website, I can’t but take the blame for it. Glad I found the problem, though, once I finally started to really look for the cause.

Ha, I cut down the load time for the front page (the one with the biggest problems) down from about 12s to 0.6s.
So you single handedly killed a few polar bears? Sweet.
One time I swam out to sea and pretended to be injured so that dolphins would swim up to rescue me. I did that, so I could kill them with my bare hands. True Story.
I’m glad it didn’t work out for you. Those dolphins would’ve pwned your ass.
