This flowchart might clear up the rendering differences: http://typophile.com/node/70216 It's not so much that rendering a whole bunch of text takes a while (though it might, but it probably has more to do with the time it takes to downlo

I'm guessing they said that because Heroku doesn't let you save files to their system. You have to use something like s3. Other than that, I see no reason why someone would say that. You can save things to the tmp directory for a little whi

With all the little icons, I generally forget which one I clicked in the first place. Then I remember that I used Google's, but forget which email address. It's not so much forgetting because I have a bunch of OpenID accounts, it's that I d

As if there aren't enough suggestions on where to buy tea, I get all mine through SevenCups ( http://www.sevencups.com/ ) and TeaSpring ( http://teaspring.com/ ). Both companies are excellent. SevenCups has a few very nice sampler packs. I'
