Poseidon performance

it's easy to have stellar performance when you have next to no features.

Its designed to do one feature, blog and does it brilliantly.

But that's just the point, dear muppet. Poseidon 1.0 has most of the major features you'll find in WordPress or Textpattern, along with quite a few features you can't find in most blog engines (such as the use of XML and XSLT to separate content from presentation).

If we were comparing WordPress to Poseidon 0.6.1, you'd be right. Poseidon 0.6.1 is a very minimal blog engine with nothing like the feature set of WordPress, so the comparison would be unfair. But Poseidon 1.0 is in WordPress's weight class.

Coincidentally, Poseidon 1.0 still manages to be almost as fast as Poseidon 0.6.1 in spite of its greater complexity.

Combine "Stellar" with "Feature", and add an anti-troll plugin to the next version of Poseidon. ;-)

Performance numbers aside, I'm pretty impressed with the interface and configurability of your engine. I might have to start using it in the future, or at least re-write parts of my current system. Congratulations on the review, Wonko.

As an administrator, you are actually able to 'ban' abusive users in the next version of Poseidon. That should qualify as an anti-troll feature, in my opinion.

Yeah sounds just like that :)

I can not wait for this to be done. I've been using wordpress and really like it but it can be slightly slow at times. Also, I'm about to "downgrade" my server to a whopping P166 (don't ask why), so I could use all the speed I can get provided by Poseidon.

Got any idea on a release date yet?

until they create a new login...

IP ban anyone....?

Then you get a proxy...

... but that is defeated by your convenient open proxy detection mechanism, which you developed as a plug-in for Poseidon... ;-)

With the third and final installment of Lucas' prequils finnaly here I have one thing to say (the same thing most fans will say): the prequils were good movies, but not "Star Wars" quality.

Sure the plots are good.

Sure the graphics are captivating.

But it is missing the lightheartedness and entertainment value of the originals.

Too much drama and not enough good old entertaining character personalities.

It was suspenseful and the fight scenes left little to be desired, however, I found myself the whole movie waiting for somebody to say "i've got a bad feeling about this" or do an indania jones charge into a corridor full of storm troopers or something.

Its all just too serious, the actors were caught up in being in a legendary movie and gave their best serious and most dramatic performance. But nobody was goofing off and having fun. Moreover, the scripts obviously lacked the lighthearted space adventure feeling that drew us in in the first place.

I beleive in the originals the actors had no plan to be in a timeless classic, they were just actors of the 70's enjoying their jobs.

So, George Lucas, you should have written some jokes in your movies. Maybe not jokes, but at least humourous situations and amusing characters. And that absolutely excludes stupid childish annoying characters, that was the first mistake that pretty much brought the whole empire crashing down.

Oh well, the new trilogy failing to add to the near perfect original trilogy, at least it managed not to subtract from it.

I...umm...thought Obi-Wan said "I've got a bad feeling about this" within the first 10 minutes.

In other news, there's a cat hunkered in a Coke with Lime fridge pack over there.

i'm just unobservant and probably not fit to be a film critic in any way shape or form.

cats are great, they'll get into anything they will fit into.

Hah, you win.

Being weak in using PHP with MySQL I went around the internet trying to find a small and easy CMS. This was two years ago and I have to find a better or more efficient code than in Poseidon's. I feel like I am really kissing your ass, Ryan. I have enjoyed using Poseidon and extremely interested in what is to come. :) Keep up the great work.
