Well, a lot actually. We use WebGUI http://www.webgui.org/

Its tough to get your head around, but we've been doing it for quite a
while and it supports dern near anything you wanna do (its written in
Perl for those that care).  It was a choice made before I started (by a
long shot), but I've been able to get it to work without problems in a
load-balanced situation and integration via differing data access
methods is pretty easy.

I've currently got a Word Press thinger going for myself... but I
haven't been quite as prolific as I once thought I would be.

Drupal... wow, I used that back in 2001, well sorta. It blew up on me
multiple times in 2001. In any case: GLOBALS (not SUPERGLOBALS)

Flash... maybe, but nothing else was showing the issues, but I am seeing
the probs with the LJ, even now.

Well, its a deep subject.

Welp, I guess its just me then. But it still happens.

iceweasel, adblock plus, firebug, tab-mix-plus, a few others...

Oh, I just checked my spankin T61 2.2GHz C2D Lapper 4GB memory... 10
seconds on render completion of first page, but the clicks on nodes are
much better, 3-5 seconds tops. And since the LCD has good contrast
things look better.


Guess its just me.
