there was an upgrade and ttbp still works! praise the tildes.

----

i am reaping the consequences of my past self's sloth, because with nearly 600
entries on ttbp, it now takes around 10-11 seconds to load the global feed. so,
here are some solutions i'm considering:

- set a rolling cutoff date for how far back it checks for entries (since entry
  date is encoded in filename, this should be fairly fast).
  DOWNSIDE: what if no one posts for a long period of time? should the global
  feed display only posts within the last, say, week?

- whenever someone posts, queue that post onto a file that lists the 10 most
  recent posts; the global feed reads this list instead of trying to generate
  one from scratch.
  DOWNSIDE: this excludes people who might edit/post from outside of the ttbp
  interface

- make a cron job that cruises through all the entry directories and generate a
  list of the most recent posts; combine this with the above option. this could
  be a way to catch posts that fall through the cracks.

thoughts/ideas appreciated!

i've also opened this as a [github
issue](https://github.com/modgethanc/ttbp/issues/11), which might be a better
venue to discuss this.
