Smarty caching on galleries
That`s what you get for butchering a badly written script off the net.
I`ve updated the gallery and photo pages to make use of Smarty caching; the first time a page on a gallery gets whacked, a cache file will be created so pages will display a SQUILLION times faster. I`ve set these not to expire at the minute, but may have them expire after a couple of days.
Next up, I`ll split the cache files for the various bits of the site into separate directories as 9000000 cache files in one directory isn`t too clever. But that`s for another day.
YOU LOVE IT
Bums
I received an e-mail from valued Smiths contributor Omasz, and it appears that a few of his pictures aren`t displaying; I`ll look into this. It could simply be (is likely to be..) spazziness on my part.
Can I just ask that anyone who has contributed and can`t see their own images please get in touch via the contact form and I`ll get it sorted out as soon as possible; also if you`re browsing the Smiths pics and can`t see any of the images, also get in touch. Cheers, me dears.
Update: Joey Deacon here didn`t upload the files when the site was moved. Sorry about that!
The move to the London Big Brother Superstate continues
From the TfL web site:
“A faster, easier 7 Day Travelcard on Oyster
From 25 September, 7 Day Travelcards will only be available on Transport for London’s Oyster smartcard, meaning customers currently using paper tickets can benefit from faster and easier journeys.”
First question – easier and faster than putting a ticket in the same machine? Having worked in London for a couple of years, I can confidently say that this is absolute rubbish; using an Oyster card is just as slow as the old fashioned paper ticket. So the question is – what benefit does moving 7 day travel cards to Oyster provide to anyone if not the commuter?
Well the commuter has [...]
Bunch of twats
Just a quick post to call Zenith Staybrite a bunch of telemarketing cunts. Received a phone call this morning on the ex-directory “Batphone”; the only people who have this number are family, friends, and job recruitment agencies (so you always know when not to answer it). The ignorant bastard of a lady who called refused to tell me where she got the telephone number and then hung up. Interestingly, if you call back you get a recorded message thanking you for the call, and nothing else. Ker-ching – money in the bank.
As they obviously don`t give a crap about abusing people`s ex-directory telephone numbers, here`s a number for their head office:
