Slashdot Funkiness

I've been a busy boy- but mostly today has been debugging and optimizing stuff. With the new filterable homepage, the server needs to do a lot more work (those dynamic pages don't just generate themselves people!) But I think I've sorted out the major bugs at this point. (note:mod_perl is so cool). http://slashdot.org/ should automatically route logged-in users to index.pl, but serve everyone else the static page. Hopefully this will help keep things quick. Plus I've done a lot to optimize out SQL where possible. Thanks to everyone who has been helping test this stuff out and sent suggestions- most of the suggestions are coded now. We should be ready for wide scale testing tomorrow. (Assuming no major bugs crop up yet tonight and cause me to miss the X-Files)
