I do not like slow websites. In my frustration with Bjunkyard (which, for whatever reason, is the slowest website in the world), I decided to use a spidering program to download all images from their Hyori gallery, which were conveniently left in a nice directory setting.

After downloading about 1500 images of Hyori, I used the wonderful ZIP features for Tokki to upload all of them. So now I have a Tokki Gallery with all the wonderful Hyori pictures.

This whole mirroring process actually only took me about 15 minutes of real work. Now you can view all those nice pictures at a nice blazing speed, instead of the 1996-esque speed of the Bjunkyard server.

I just need to organize them now when I get done with webpage making stuff.

w00t.

Disclaimer: I really don't like Hyori that much. I'm just really anal-retentive about webpage speeds; I'd much rather just mirror a site for the sake of the Internet users than put up with a slow site. Plus, I used the huge gallery to benchmark Tokki speeds for rendering large albums (It does pretty well, although memory usage is a bit excessive in some places, which I'll probably address later) :D

It was a dork thing more than anything :/
