WordPress Turbo

Just tried enabling it:

wordpressturbo
Took 2 minutes to cache all the files but it worked fine. Not really noticing a huge boost in performance, but I’m sure it’s saving bandwidth, and it does seem very slightly faster. I think I’ll keep it turned on.

Only 25 mins until the new WordPress 2.7 arrives anyway, it may have to re-cache all the files again!

“This is big, Peter, this is very big. There is definitely something here.”

Master Replicas is pleased to announce its forthcoming line of prop replicas based on Columbia Pictures’ hugely popular film franchise, Ghostbusters.

“We are extremely excited to be able to enter the Ghostbusters paranormal world”, explains CEO Michael Cookson “If you’ve always dreamed owning an officially licensed “unlicensed nuclear accelerator” or are just looking for innovative collectibles that will remind you of the legendary antics of Ray, Egon, Peter and Winston, the Master Replicas range will offer a wealth of choices.”

Working closely with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, Master Replicas will work its magic to ensure authenticity and accuracy. Master Replicas initial Ghostbusters product range will include authentic limited edition prop replicas as well as a few “surprises” just in time for the 25th anniversary of this pop-culture property.

The “keymaster” and “gatekeeper” are conspiring to release the first wave of products in May 2009. For a complete listing of products and a few “sneak peek” images, please visit us at http://www.masterreplicas.com/ on Halloween (October 31st) 2008.

Original Ghostbusters Ectomobile Restored!

20 04 2008

The Ectomobile (ECTO-1) from the movie Ghostbusters was falling apart. Years of damage, rain, rust and tourists had taken it’s toll on the car. This is how it looked a few years back at the Sony Backlot:
