The Slashdot Effect
February 21st, 2005, No Comments
robots.net has been slashdotted again so mod_virgule is getting a good stress test today. So far it’s holding up with no problems. One amusing thing about being slashdotted is that you get a lot of emails from people you haven’t heard from in a while congratulating you on the event.

I better post this while I’m thinking about it. The last couple of weeks have been way too busy. After a slow December, business really picked up in January and based on the number of new proposals we’ve been cranking out, it hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down yet.

I had a nice quiet weekend for change. Nothing really interesting to report other than a DSO concert on Saturday. Two Prokofiev pieces – first the Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, Opus 19 and second the music used in the Russian films, Ivan the Terrible parts 1 and 2. Interestingly, they had decided [...]
Robots.net

Too much hacking this week or I would have posted some news a bit more often. I’ve been totally absorbed in adapting mod_virgule to use on a new project I’m working on, robots.net. I’ve made a bunch of new changes to the mod_virgule code, a few of which may eventually work their way in the [...]
