Destructive Incorporated

Well, I did a ton more tinkering today and I got a lot done.

First I got TinyMCE (think of it as a really basic document editing program built into your blogging and story content). Then I added spell-checking functionality to TinyMCE, try it out, it seems to work rather well!

Next I worked out the gallery a lot better. I made the ever popular 'kiss' gallery embedded into the main page. I tried out gallery2 but WOW did it eat the server alive! I was seeing near 100% CPU use out of a single user browsing, therefor we could only handle 2 users on our current hardware browsing at once, where we can serve nearly 10 people a SECOND on this page! That's a massive difference and while I like the look and feel of gallery2 I think its absolutely terrible unless you are hosting a family photo album that very few people will be visiting. I will write a review of gallery2 later and fill everyone in on its shortcomings. In the end I used a drupal add-on, 'acidfree', which is working out quite nicely so far and is already providing all the useful features gallery2 was providing with about 50-100x less server load per user!
