I was reading a post by Donncha recently on the new Wordpress plugin, WP Super Cache. He mentioned that he did not know what the performance would be like, which got me thinking about running my own tests to see for myself (I was doing some basic ones anyhow for another idea I had). There are many bloggers using Wordpress whom do not know one technical thing (nor should they!), but they should know what its gonna be like for them when their site gets busy.

N.B. My intention here was to just see what would happen. This should not be regarded as a complete proper test, but rather an indicative one. I had limited time and was not arsed doing this 100% correctly.

Recently I have been doing lots of work in the area of asset management. Its a pain in the ass but it is necessary for any business to carry it out especially after a period of growth.

At the moment I am using the excellent Novell ZENworks Asset Management software. I’ve used many asset management solutions over the past few years.

As I was reading Donncha’s blog recently, I noticed that one of his posts was on toothache. It brought me back to my situation last Sunday when I had a pretty severe toothache.

Severe is maybe too nice. Lets just say, I was thinking about putting a shotgun to my mouth and getting rid of the problem that way. Of course there is no Emergency dentist in Cork on a Sunday evening!

I don’t like doctors and dentists but the pain was so bad I was actually getting physically sick from it, so I decided to go to SouthDoc. Two hours later I get a shot in the ass and despite telling the doctors otherwise, tablets.
