Date sliding problem finally quashed?

The website has had rather intermittent service lately, and for that I'm sorry. Among all this new job stuff I have been trying to solve the bizarre date-reset problem, and I think I finally have it licked. In Webmin I disabled some kind of clock syncing between the system time and the hardware time... this is a Linux thing that I don't quite fully understand, but now that the syncing has been turned off, the computer should be able to keep time accurately from now on and it won't puzzle me anymore.

The reason that this garbage pertains to the website is that when the clock would go back to 1901, it would think that the HongPong.com front page should have every post on it. Very annoying.

Also I tried to fiddle around a little bit with installing Squid, a proxy cache program that would make my site run quite a bit faster, as it holds in RAM the most frequently downloaded files, while Apache tends to have to read them from disk over and over. This can make a server dozens of times quicker, in some situations. However, as is so often the case with Linux stuff, the documentation to set up a 'reverse proxy for a local server' as i think the terminology goes, is pretty hard to find and incomplete. If it was easy, you'd be proxied right now. Oh well.

Other than that..... I have to write about 8 profiles tonight or else my boss might have an aneurism, or else have to buy another pack of cigarettes, so back to it!
