Im glad you enjoyed your visit to the phils.It is not what other countries think about the phils. There are lots more for you to see in that side of country. I am planning on retiring there, hopefully soon and take care of the farm which is on another island and the view from the beach is unforgettable in my mind since i was a kid. it is soo peaceful and thats what i miss the most.

Andy, when you see a list of files in explorer, each one can have a different icon, all those icons are embedded inside the file itself or there is a system wide one held somewhere, the computer has to go through and grab them all index them and display them, this is especially bad for pictures because it will often make a little thumbnail. Even if you don't use a thumbnail type view in explorer if you have the preview pane on the side it may still do this, and if you have subdirectories it may well go down and grab the bitmaps for those as well. All that is hitting the disk and so it slows things down. A defrag would probably help as it would reduce the amount of time the hard drive spends seeking, speeding up the entire process.

My personal theory about local water is that the body can handle the bacteria living in a small amount of water for example when you brush your teeth, wash your mouth out e.t.c even a quick gulp isn't a problem because the quantity of water and hence bacteria is small enough for the bodies own defenses to overwhelm even though it's not used to it. If you drink alot of water in one go, especially if your dehydrated your body needs that water and it won't have time to neutralise all the bacteria in such huge quantities.
Personal theory based on drinking some water in Thailand one time :) No Scientific research done whatsoever but might make sense?

I think someone who's both good at design, writing and at the technical nuances of load balancing and multi server setups are a rare breed andy.
But you can most likely hire someone to design such a thing.
There are certainly people on rentacoder.com and similar sites which have track records in such work since as you say it's fairly specialised, better to have someone who does it everyday build the perfect solution?

Do what everyone else does Andy, only post a teaser and not the full content. You post so much stuff and so regularly that I suspect people pick and choose what they want to read when they're using rss so using a teaser will just give them a greater sample of what your talking about, not the whole thing, they'll then click through to your website.
