At Home Gym
When I can’t make it to the gym a good work out is never too far away. I try to do about 5 sets throughout the day to stay right. It still doesn’t replace cardio though. After about two weeks of being glued to the computer I think its time for me to head over to the Y. My arms got bigger though in that time; doing 100 pushups a day will do that to you.

A Day In The Life (2008-08-04)
- Another rainy day in Boston. Feels like the end of the world. I think if I see pairs of animals running around I’ll lose it. #

- Found some additional points for optimization in the side-bar (caching). Fixed pagination function to render properly. Bed time. #
- Just did some back breaking labor helping someone move. Back to the grind now. Got to finish up some features before performance work again #

- @mosso We track total page render times on the server side. We then use Firebug on the client side to measure load times. #
- @mosso We see a slow down in page render times during business hours of around a factor of 3. From sub second to 2-4 seconds. This is PHP. #
- @mosso We can refine those reports to figure out how much time is being spent in the DB, but we are actively caching most things to disk. #

- Evaluating some flatfile database alternatives as I think about disk based caching. Txtsql and sqllite come to mind.Need flock discussio … #
- So looking at the performance throughout the day the performance of the Mosso cloud was definitely slower during midday to evening EST. #
- How many from the MA crew will be heading down to PodCamp Philly? Just curious. #
- Today is a good day. Twitter gets integrated into RGB Daily and we get that much closer to launch. Last night visuals really came together #
- @TechCrunch The mouth is the gateway to good health Mike, don’t sleep

- God, it took forever to figure out that 404 performnace bug. I hate web development, its so kludgey. Mosso also seems slow. #

A Day In The Life (2008-07-29)
- Completely drained and tired of looking at code. Going to clean up the house and get outside. Visiting the Y too. #
- Ouch, fixed so nasty typos in my about box on my blog. Must have been really tired when I wrote that up. #
- Think I might have found another serious speed hack for Template Lite. I already provide config caching for the master template… #
- So what about just providing a global static cache for localization files. It all gets loaded so the templates should share it. Big gains. #

Sunset at Spy Pond in Arlington
After a burrito from Anna’s I tooksome time to chill at Spy Pond. Back in the 1800s they use to have icehouses lining the Pond. They would cut ice and send it as far as China and India. Amazing!

- Going to bed. Finished the first past at a stylized vote counter using the grunge RGB Daily style. Checked in and will integrate tomorrow. #
- Things are looking good. A lot of progress has been made in the last two weeks. Looks like I’m in good shape for an August launch. #
- Just finished reading @chrisbrogan ’s newsletter. I totally agree that podcasting is most relevant when informative, fun not so much. #
- Bright sunny day and time to fix some more UI issues and then head out to the gym. Perfect Pushup has saved me these last couple days. #
- Just sayin’ that the marketing people have sunk their teeth into podcasting and having a lot of tangible success.Maybe that’s the mainstream #
- I think maybe the more entertainment stuff isn’t podcasting/vloging. Maybe its just cool A/V online.Don’t put yourself in a box. #
- Then again its whatever iTunes says it is from a categorization perspective. Distributon will always matter if its suppose to pay bills. #

A Day In The Life (2008-07-27)
- Cleaning up some serious bugs related to the main nav system. #
- Knocked out the JS and server side tweaks for the master mavigation. Really pleased with the AJAX goodness. Good processing performance. #
- I need to start to using the bug tracker again to manage myself. Been kicking ass and taking names, butt need to stay on track. #
- The fact that MySpace doesn’t use SEO friendly urls was a big relief. I won’t be able to get that done before launch. #
- So it loks like Rosie’s alternator is indeed shot. Gonna have to head to the VW dealer tomorrow. #
