Yes, I have some good memories of late nights in Corbitt desperately trying to finish a crazy media project into the weeeeeeee hours of the morn. A certain camaraderie is fostered in these times of shared trial and tribulation.

I have also discovered that staying up too late can change a person (kinda like the full moon and werewolves). Inhibitions are lowered and conversations become interesting. Thankfully, most of these can be forgotten because everyone is too tired to remember what you talked about.

But, often times our browsers will cache items on the page (especially images and Flash™ documents.) This enables faster page loads, and less data transfer, which is actually nice. However, if you're a web developer, or someone who checks the tips site a lot for comments, you want to know that the information you're viewing is perfectly accurate. And, you don't want to empty your cache every time you look at a site. So, here's what you do.
