Re: Homepage like a dynamic dashboard

I think it's a pretty solid way to do it. I'm running a dashboard
using the same type of code. I don't know how to use the cache to
limit queries to the database, but if you're considering building a
dashboard for your application, it kind of suggests that the data is
going to be changing so quickly that the dashboard is always
presenting "something new." If that's the case, you'd be putting
potentially more burden on your server by having it cache data as well
as query for it intelligently.

I wouldn't worry about it unless you run into problems. Your code
looks pretty solid to me.
