He just couldn't wait unitl shawn unwrapped the new servers. http://www.digg.com/software/Digg_Traffic_Plotted_On_Google_Maps_(Real-Time)
Sssshhhhhhhhhh!!! Please, I don't want to get stabbed... I promised I wouldn't break his sites anymore and look what happened!
Its sure broken his blog. Forums seems to be holding up at the moment though. I was hoping you had broken the whole lot so I could go do some work.
You don't need me for that. Try 'discipline'. Are you the Digger with the weird name saying I'm licking Shawn's ass?
Just a FYI... the issue this time wasn't servers (directly), it was raw bandwidth. Since the blog entry had 8 images with it totaling about 512k, our bandwidth was pegged. I since offloaded the images to an image hosting service, and everything is cool again. I think TOPS30 is going to get my cell phone number, so he can call me when he does crap like this.
Yeah, excellent idea! [Me, 10am London time:]Shawn, good morning! I think this Digg is going to hit the front page? You sure you have optimized everything? [Shawn, 4am CA time:]You Bastard! I'm trying to get some sleep! I'm sending over my stabsquad now!
Yeah, I think a stabbing is needed. He took down everything. No tools, no blog, no homepage, and I couldn't even post to this thread this morning because it timed out so many times. Like Rob said...Stab his ass!
