Looks like it was only 2 concurrent connections per site in Firefox 2 and IE7[*1]. IE8 and Firefox 3 increased this to 6 And in Firefox 4 it appears to be 15 (for a total max connections of 30, so using more than two domains may not help). So hopefully this will become less of an issue over time, as browser developers keep up with increases in resources, so site developers don't need to second-guess them.

free beer at FOSDEM
I think in my lightning talk at LPW I might have skipped over the slide about the Delirium Café where the attendees of FOSDEM meet on Friday. The evening before FOSDEM. They usually provide a certain amount of free beer. See details http://www.fosdem.org/2011/beerevent It is less than 3 weeks away. I am preparing a postcard to be given away at the Perl booth during FOSDEM on which I list all the European Perl events for which I already have the date. I also list the BPW even though they don't have date yet and as I thought I'll also add the LPW. Besides that it might be interesting to give away some fliers about London.pm or LPW. So if any of you is planning to attend FOSDEM, maybe you can bring over a few fliers. There is also a Perl track in preparation which has a few empty slots. You might want to give a talk about something that is interesting for people who are not hard-core Perl developers. The draft schedule is here: https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/index.cgi?events_2011_fosdem regards Gabor http://szabgab.com/
