The Stage Is Set
* I was supposed to meet Massin at 11, but I passed out again from 8 PM to 1:30 AM. Thankfully he was still online and accepted my apology. I'm really having sleep issues, I don't know why my body just keeps tiring out so early. One project management rule: Never, ever miss appointments. I'm ashamed for doing it.

* Massin and I trimmed and optimized one of our fan art database tables from 1.1 million rows to only 150,000. The bottom line is it sets the stage for our three upcoming improvements. It should also increase voting speed quite a bit.

* Check out Massin's blog post about a new timing limitation with fan art voting. One thing to add to the discussion is that artists shouldn't notice a difference. Older works will still get commented on and we have a comment manager to view those comments when they come in. I can't imagine any artist remembers the # of votes on their older pieces or even checks back to see how many new votes they received from it.

* There are some major t-shirt issues that I'm working through. These are the moments that really test my abilities...I'll keep you updated, but the bottom line is I'm going to have some tough decisions to make.

* Remember when the site was really slow? There's actually no difference now and then between the hardware we use. It's all programming improvements :-). I think you can generalize this concept to other things in life.
