More benchmarking in the 127.0.0.1 vs 0.0.0.0 issue
I’ve done a little more benchmarking in the 127.0.0.1 vs. 0.0.0.0 issue: <script>var start=new Date();</script> <script src="http://ad.a8.net/foo.js"></script> <script src="http://asy.a8ww.net/foo.js"></script> <script src="http://a9rhiwa.cn/foo.js"></script> <script src="http://www.a9rhiwa.cn/foo.js"></script> <script src="http://acezip.net/foo.js"></script> <script>var stop=new Date(); alert(stop.getTime() – start.getTime());</script> What this code does, is to try to include javascript files from five sites and measure the time it takes to process these tags.…

Short updates from Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller fame on the pennsays YouTube channel. My only grief is that a few videos are unavailable due to “age or location restrictions”, which really seems just an oversight, since the content most probably isn’t published anywhere else (like TV) to warrant such restrictions.
