I just launched version 2.0 of the site, which will hopefully help reduce the spam I've been getting. Also, I've been doing a lot of optimization's to help the server handle the traffic my other sites have been getting.

Thoughts on the latest version?

Any particular reason you felt the need to get me name off Google? It's not a major accomplishment by any means, but I don't see why you felt you needed to share it?

I'm still working on optimizing the server, I really don't understand the load times you guys are experiencing.. Everything seems at least decent to me, but I'll continue throwing optimization's at it.

I'm doing some reconsiderations on the design currently, so when I do them, I'll be sure to move the language dropdown as well.

How would I go about making the language changeable since people are not logged in? I don't want to make this a login based system, so it's difficult to know who's changing the language on it other than IP address (which we all know isn't a good way of validating)

Are you still experiencing the 20 second load time? Or was it a one time thing? It may have just been a traffic spike period. Currently I'm getting well over 2k unique hits a day between all my sites, and I'm working on some optimization for the server.

But it's not theme-able the way I have it now. Plus, it's SUPPOSED to be multi-language (programming language), although I may be wrong there

What kind of load time are you experiencing? My load is almost instant.

And I put a fairly simple javascript syntax highlighter on there, it seemed to do well with PHP, do you have any examples I could reference to work on making it better highlighting?

I don't know how many people on here are programmers, but I just finished building http://pastecode.com and figured you guys might find it useful

Let me know your thoughts

Hey guys
I'm not trying to make this into a spam thread, but I still wanted to mention my website for people if they would like to join.

I just launched a new xbox oriented website (PM me for the URL).

I'm hoping to turn it into more than a forum within the coming months, providing a better news portal as well as statistic analysis of xbox profiles and whatever else I can integrate into it.

Hopefully you guys find it something you'd like to join.

Thanks a bunch

This is a strange thread..
lol.

Hey everyone.

I've been working primarily in php for quite some time, and have a thorough understanding of the language.  I've been wanting to get into some C++ for a while now, and understand that it's very similar to php, as the php is based from C.  I was curious if anyone had recommendations of books or online resources I could use as a starting point?

Any other help you feel may assist me in the learning curve, such as compilers, or whatever you might know of would be awesome as well.

Much Appreciated.

What are our expectations?

No clue

Well Hello. What would you like to know?

I guess a few facts about me:
- You can call me syntaqx (syn for short)
- I'm primarily focused on Web Development, but I always enjoy picking up new languages.
- I work as the Development Lead for an eCommerce based company in my state.
- I am not here to live up to your expectations, and I don't expect you to live up to mine.
- I don't have a religion, and I don't want one.
- I own over 40 domains, I might have a problem.
- I enjoy listening to rock, metal and screamo music; When programming, Trance/Techno seem to be the least distracting, however.
- Waffles are delicious, and if you have any, I will obtain them.
- I've invested far too much of my life into video games, and will continue to do so.
- I Live, Breath and Love; Just like you.

I'll be around, thanks for reading.
