Hi all,
I made this one trying to avoid tables as much as possible and using stylesheets instead.

Any hints, suggestions, clues, etc. welcome at webmaster@cremerplein.nl. I hope you like it.

See you at: cremerplein.nl. If you want to take a look at the source code feel free to send me an e-mail.

I am currently running Iowa Outdoors under MySQL 4. I did so to help address some performance issues with my 150MB database. MySQL 4's query cache feature will knock a lot of time off of your Geeklog queries if you tune it right. With a stock version of my-large.cnf I added these lines:

set-variable = query_cache_type=1
set-variable = query_cache_limit=2M
set-variable = query_cache_size=64MB

If you want to see how the cache is helping, from mysql client type "show status;" and look for the QCache_* variables. This took my page loads (from footer of GL page which isn't the best benchmark but works) from .94 seconds down to .54 seconds.

Ive been bugged in email, on the phone, and even on irc to release my eggdrop quote script and the chalkboard component for geeklog...so here it is. It includes the eggdrop quote.tcl, instructions, sample quoteable.quotes files, and the blockquoteheader & blockquotefooter.thtml files which make up the look of a chalkboard..

If you have absolutely no idea what an eggdrop bot is please read http://www.eggheads.org before trying to use this. If you dont know what en eggdrop bot is, or don't have one, you really dont need this script :)

Basically, what it does:
- allows you to add funny quotes, or any other junk you desire to an eggdrop bot from an IRC channel.
- takes your addition and saves it to a file in unix fortune format
- a geeklog phpblock_function will take a random quote from your bots data file and spit it out into a funky chalkboard block.

If you want to see how it looks go to http://www.fragglerock.org and refresh the page while looking at the green chalkboard looking thing. A random quote from my irc channel on efnet will come up.
