Murphy's Law

It never fails... I sent out a few hundred resumes this week. There's a very prominent link to check out my recent community project (on one of the websites where this message is coming from).

And of course Murphy strikes. The site was down for a couple of days last week and it's currently running slow as molasses. Seems like everything breaks whenever one of my employment contacts is looking at it. I no longer have this running on my own server, so most of these things are out of my control. I'm sharing resources with maybe a hundred other folks. All of the optimizations I performed to make the data fly onto the page don't matter if my shared database is choked or one of the ISP's DNS servers takes a dive. 

Sigh...
