Google

Recent update on Gmail has to many “Remote call” (AJAX) running (every 10secs) in the background. It will get really slow if you has a large numbers of email and spam. I’m suffering the dreaded “firefox freeze over” syndrome.

Below is a list of addons that will cause “firefox to freezeeeeeeek”.

• Firebug
• Noscripts.

Its advice to disabled both of this addons or revert gmail back to older versions.

As gmail is getting more crappy with “overload features”. I think I should start using thunderbird more often.

p/s: At this time of writing Google Aps Gmail is still with older version so you wont have this issue.

I stumble on this interesting headline while browsing technorati. Beth’s (afrogtokiss.net) is having a minor problem with his wordpress for not receiving earlier notifications on new comments post. After a few comparison he discovered that dreamhost is being graylisted by google. The reason is still unclear but reading what beth’s posted earlier on it seem like Dreamhost Team will not disclose it on open yet.

On to dreamhost official blog

Hoping that I could get more clear view on this issue I did some more checking on dreamhost official blogs. Unfortunately It doesn’t fudge any relevant news. Their official webblog seems more like a casual blogs full with party pooper.

I spend few minutes fiddling around in their archives before I get on “Are you older than fifth grade”. Its actual content is much more interesting that the crappy headline. Josh Jones (Dreamhost Co-Founder) write a historic trackback of Dreamhost since 10 years ago. The below screenshot has lots thing to says about their business model.
