MLB.TV Mosaic - step by step

Hudd — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 18:25:49 -0000

I found the download at:

http://www.mlb.com/mlb/subscriptions/download.jsp

Warning:

Before download, make sure you set a system restore point. This can be found at START, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES, SYSTEM TOOLS, SYSTEM RESTORE. CREATE A RESTORE POINT. Should your computer act funny, you can always fall back to the way things were before you installed these few hundred programs and downloaded the 30 or so megabytes from Microsoft. Just follow the previous steps and select the restore option.

The download installs version 3 of Microsoft .NET framework. Thus, your windows-xp or vista must be at the latest software level, before you begin. Make sure to visit MICROSOFT Update.

Also, this is a heavy weight install. It can take from 20 minutes to an hour. After the install begins, close all the browser windows so that the installation has plenty of memory to work with. I would not recommend this software if you only have 512 meg of RAM.

Good luck. I'll monitor this thread and if you have questions, I'll try and answer. I don't know squat about MAC.

I see a whole bunch of games for tonight! Hope this isn't an April fools joke.

Fiferfox and HH homepage loads in 14 seconds...why

Hudd — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:59:31 -0000

To figure out how long it takes to load HH home page, start at a page that has the link to HH home page. In the tools option clear the cache by clicking on Clear Private Data. Click on the link to HH. Then in the URL box enter:

about:cache?device=memory

What I find on a standard DSL connection, the HH homepage takes 14 seconds to load. There are 155 requests to different URLs to load something.

If one notices how many SBNATION entries there are and how many ad entries there are and sums the time between each SBNATION request, then one can determine the overhead added by using SBNATION as the intermediate server to HH.

Since I don't have access to the old server, I cannot say how long a native request would take.

If there is interest, I will post some tweaks one might make in FF to improve performance.

In 2/3 of an inning against the Yankees, Bartolo Colon had 3 walks, 2 strike outs and gave up 4 runs.

He was pulled after 2/3 of an inning.
