Sorry for the lack of up front communication, folks, but I decided I had to try restricting the hand converter to registered users to see if it would help solve any of the crushingly awful performance problems you’ve all been experiencing lately. At the same time, I’ve taken the comments off the page, so for the time being there isn’t a way of getting touch with me, but that’s ok, because:

  • I know what the problems are
  • I have a list far longer than both my arms put together, even if I stretch really hard
  • You all think I’m ignoring them anyway

Well, 1 and 2 are certainly true. 3 is questionable - I really do plan to work on this again soon, but it’s kind of my third job out of three at the moment, and the pay seems better on the other two, so that’s where I’m focussing.

But to whet your appetites, I’ve done a little work on a super-duper version of the converter under Drupal. If you don’t know, Drupal is a CMS that’s a bit like Mambo and Joomla, only better. I’m having to learn as I go, but so far it’s shaping up to be pretty cool, with configurable options stored in your user profile, rather than stored as cookies, there will be fancy ways of reporting problem hands, and at some point I hope to expand it into a proper tournament or session replayer. Or something.

The possibilities are not quite endless, but we can dream. Perhaps I’ll even canvass all your thoughts, all you good users, and see what you’d like done.

Laters.
