En Passant…

Published today, I’ve come across a good article titled “13 Reasons To Celebrate The New Microsoft-Novell Pact” which offers a substantially different viewpoint on the matter compared to articles or opinions of others such as, I don’t know, Bruce Perens’ statement on Novell being “the new SCO.”

On another note, I have been getting Bluehost’s “CPU Quota Exceeded” page quite a lot recently, so I’m considering hacking together my own CMS and writing a script to port the data in Wordpress’ database to my CMS. I think what is causing this error is an excess of database queries, as Wordpress performs about twenty queries per page load (if I remember correctly), so it’s no wonder that the CPU limit is surpassed and my account is suspended for a few minutes whenever there are too many concurrent connections. Bluehost is a great webhost, but since they lowered the CPU limit (or so it appears) I am getting these errors far too frequently, and I am contemplating moving this website to a more powerful server on another webhost such as Media Temple. We’ll see

[edit] Fourteen queries on the front page, in fact.
