Well, the site won't load for me, but so long as we're on the topic of clojure newbie stuff, I just put together a simple project on github to demonstrate lazy-evaluation for those new to clojure by visualizing elementary cellular automata. I tried to annotate the source quite heavily to make it clear what's going on.

It can be found here: https://github.com/andrewvc/clj-automata

Sorry for the site loading so slow. I submitted this a week ago and thought it got ignored into Hacker News oblivion. Back then, I added a cache plugin, but I guess that's not enough.

I woke up this morning surprised to see it's on the front page a.t.m. I'm going to troublehshoot right now.

I also have the dirt-cheap lowest VPS option on Rackspace -- is that the problem? If anybody has immediate ideas on how to make my server not be so slow, pass them along (and thanks for reading!)

If you want performance on a low end VPS you could use a static website generator like Jekyll, Hyde, nanoc etc ...
