You can’t test everything.
Had a case, that reminded me of this today and wanted to share this “tidbit of wisdom”.
It’s not a suggestion to not test, because you can’t test everything, no. Testing is your friend, whether it’s a code, an assumption…
I really hoped, that I would not have to do this, but since LiteSpeed support has been ghosting me for a month (since October 10th, 2022), even though I am a paying customer for the LiteSpeed Enterprise server (LSWS), I do not see what else I can do…
It’s been a while since last post here. But it does not mean, that there was no progress. In fact, if by the off chance there is someone who regularly visits this website, that person would notice some visual changes.
Since May I’ve been working on…
- Finally updated landing page to show latest news. It's not fully styled and posting to it is a pain, but it is definitely closer to what it is supposed to look like in the future.
- Moved to VPS. If you are reading this, means that DNS was updated as well, so everything should be working as expected. I also noticed that TTFB timings from VPS seem to be extremely long (23 seconds!), so am looking into what may be the cause of…
- Significant improvement in TTFB already (so far 5-7 seconds instead of 20-60), but still have some ideas on potential further improvements.
- FF entity registration page is now up.
- During first days of running I noticed that some images are not being loaded on the pages. Those are images which are "proxied" from Lodestone since they do not comply with Crossorigin (which I pointed to…
- Most of FFTracker pages are now working. Exceptions are entity registration and statistics (including those on Free Companies' pages). The latter are planned to be transferred to images, instead of Google Charts, so may take a bit more time to be…
Due to release of Endwalker for Final Fantasy XIV I wanted to publish the updated version of the website on December 7th. But I did not realize that the release is on December 3rd...
So... I am still releasing the update, as you can see, but some…
A true leader
Is always a deceiver:
Lying with no worry…
Man, I am only trying here to re-integrate,
I am not a freaking menace to society
You don’t want me seeing you as an enemy…
- General:
- New design
- Significant backend changes…
Today, suddenly, an episode I imagined for "Simbiat" poured out into a small poem. Perhaps it was another mood-swing or just OST to "Seraph".
Look at my deformity:
No sign of conformity…
- Final Fantasy XIV Tracker:
- Updated to properly support Stormblood changes. Note, that there may still be some less obvious issues. We are working with XIVDB developer to identify and fix bugs in the Lodestone Parser.

- BIC Library:
