111 and another speed test call
The title of this article means that the total number of games which can be played at the BrainKing game site has been increased to 111 and it is a very nice result - who would have expected that 5 years ago?
By the way, around the year 111, Roman Emperor Trajan sends Pliny the Younger to Bithynia.
I would like to add that all missing rules of newly implemented games have been posted as well and since the rules of Plakoto and Fevga are significantly different to the regular backgammon, their game boards can be distinguished by differently colored borders around them - one of them is light blue and the other one has been set to light green.
There is one more important note of the day - since we have asked our serverhousing provider to make certain changes to network switches, regarding our connection lines, I would like to call for another test of speed. Please, if you can spare a minute or two, visit the official BrainKing speed page - http://speed.brainking.com - and try to test the download and upload once more (and when you are done, please post a comment with the results here). Thank you.
If, for any reason, the provided URL does not work for you, you can use the former article containing the speed measuring tool - the code is just the same.

I tried the test multiple times after posting my results. I notice that my download number changes quite a bit.. seems to fluctuate anywhere between 140 and 280.. however, the upload number is almost always right around the same number every time (123)

I decided to try the speed test again today, because (for ME) the site has been painfully slow the last 2 days. (up to 2 minutes for SOME pages to load.. most are much less than that, but still 2 to 3 times slower than "usual". It SEEMS like it is the graphics causing me problems. Many times, once the page finishes loading, some of the images are missing.
Yes, I know it isn't the site ITSELF.. For the heck of it, I decided to try the speed test and see if my results are different from when I tried it last week when the site was zipping along for me.
The first time I tried the test today, I got 30 download and 70 upload. However, I tried it 3 or 4 times after that, and consistently got about 70 download and 80 upload.
Big difference (well, it seems like a big difference, but it's not like I know what the numbers mean, lol) from my results from last week. (190 download and 123 upload)
I just thought it was worth reporting..
The site has been great for me for at least 3 weeks. I wish there was a way we could tell the internet the path we want to take to brainking.. LOL.. (Or maybe it automatically goes the fastest route??)

Did three times as below:
110/39
82/114
88/110
Nelson, New Zealand
As I have posted before on other entry, most sites for me are around 250/120 or higher. This is an improvement on the 50 or 60 I was getting though.
