Links ‘n Links ‘n Links

Well my links page is up and going. I said it would be up but I didn’t know if you would believe me or not so I just went ahead a proved you wrong. Haha!

I was going to throw up a link to a nice page with a lot of CMS’s (Content Management Systems) but thought that it was better suited to be a post rather then a permanent link. This page does have a ton of resources so check it out if you in the market (even though these are free!) for a new CMS.

Speed up Firefox

admin April 7th, 2008

First I’ve got a tip from my house-mate (a geek) about how to speed up Firefox. I was a little skeptical at first, I understand if you are too, but it really does speed up Firefox and is worth a try. I only suggest doing this if you are on a high speed connection but at the same time if you aren’t on a high speed connection by now then you should be figuring out how to get on one (and then do this).

1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.

Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″.

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

Have fun with a faster Firefox and enjoy!

Geeeesh! I thought that I had seen them all.

So I was doing some SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for the company I work for (Americas-Pet-Store.com) and came across a weird website.  If you are easily offended or don’t have the great sense of humor then I don’t suggest checking this site out.  I think it’s funny but I completely understand why some people wouldn’t like it at all.

The site is Cats That Look Like Hitler. I think the funniest part of it is that the cat’s really do have a similar look (with the little goatee thingy) and they have tons of pictures.  I read the comments from people that like and don’t like the site and it just makes me laugh.  I hope you have a fun time checking it out.
