Everyone hates spring cleaning

Personal 8 Comments

Actually, I guess it is winter cleaning, but who’s keep track.

The one bad thing about blogrolls: they’re like eggrolls.  They go bad fast.  I axed all of the blogs that haven’t updated it least three months.  Goodbye Otta Radke, Kirk LeTourneau, Travis Carnahan, Doug True (the old personal blog), Dan Mica, Jeff Hardin, and a few others.  Open Source CU almost got the cut by that metric, but I kept them around.  Slackers.  Tomorrow, I’ll refresh my list with some of the new sites that have popped up like the CU Water Cooler and Carla Day’s blog.

I buckled down tonight, and last night, and made some performance enhancements to the blog.  Assuming everything is running well, the entire page will load in about 2 seconds, down from over 4 seconds.  Not too shabby if I don’t say so myself.

Some of the new tweaks may cause some issues for some people, so if you have any problems at all, please let me know!

    Give me a break! I’m not retired LIKE SOME PEOPLE I KNOW. Seriously though…I have to pour all my energy into my several jobs and just can’t keep up my public musings. It’s too bad, too, because there aren’t a lot of credit union IT blogs out there. If you find one, let me know.

    @Kirk
    Ok, fine, you’ve guilted me. I’ll put it back up. You’ve got lots of stuff going on down there. Take a few and fill us in! Otherwise, I’ll try and shame you in public again!

    Hey Robbie,

    Love the new look. Clean, fun…..moving tags and clouds and things (I don’t know what I’m talking about). It’s purdy.

    Yeck, now we will all be cleaning up. I’d rather paint.

    So why didn’t Verity make the roll? We keep ours updated (and have since 2004)

    @shari storm
    You’re right Shari! Looks like I took you guys off by accident! I’ll fix it right now.

    Thank you, Robbie for adding CU Chat Up to your blog roll!
