About me
Sidebar was my waterloo...
(I'm this one)
A Util Adventure... (CMSMTA-140)
So tampabay's 'Now Playing' widget isn't updating...
- Wind up in medley/util/caching four days later
- TuneableCache lets you change memcache expiration time with a sitesetting...? MIND BLOWN
- Any other callsites? No. And which sites use this sitesetting? Just one. Which? Guess.
- In this moment I knew My Future
Okay. WTF else is hiding in here?
