Compressing stuff!

Sometimes when I’m bored, I compress the shit out of my images.

This took my PC two whole days and the CPU got quite hot, (Which is making me consider getting a better cooler for it) but I managed to shave a few MB off!
The site should be a bit snappier now, especially the archive should load faster.

I’m actually still on a shared host, that’s why I’m often concerned about the load times.
One of these days I’m going to have to move to a virtual server at least.

Friendly Reminder.

Google Reader will be shutting down at the end of the month, if you’re still using that to keep up with my comic I’d like to suggest some alternatives. (From my stats it seems most of you switched already!)

Feedly – One of the best alternatives, completely painless transition. Feedly added half a million new accounts in the 48 hours following Google’s announcement.

Old Reader – Simple RSS reader, also allows importing Google Reader feeds.

NewsBlur – Haven’t personally tested this one, but I’ve heard good things.
 

If you haven’t tried RSS readers yet maybe now is a good time to give it a try, it’s the best way to keep up with a lot of websites. Sadly under-appreciated and a lot of times simply unknown.

I have to admit I only recently started using them myself, now I can’t go back to manually checking my bookmarks.
