Slashdotted (again!) (0 Comments) (link)
 Thursday, 8-November-2001  19:36:09 (GMT +10) - by Agg

Things have been a bit hectic around here - we got slashdotted again early this morning (thanks Alchemy). No, they weren't linking to Chainbolt's fan-controller thingy from last night, they were linking to his CPU Radiator Zen from last month. But hey, traffic is traffic. How much traffic? Well, I can give you the proper pages/visitors numbers tomorrow when we analyze the server logs (server's a bit busy to do it right now) but here's how it looked in terms of sheer bandwidth:


The horizontal axis is hours of the day. Green is inbound traffic and the blue line is outbound. That's Odin, the main server. It coped fine, but Thor (no PCDB entry yet) which serves the banners and some other stuff got a little confused, hence the banner error messages this morning.

This is the 2nd time we've been slashdotted, of course - the first being for our world scoop of the Tyan Thunder MP socketA SMP board. That time Odin didn't cope very well at all unfortunately..

Anyway, thanks again Chainbolt and Alchemy! Thanks also to Zip, our ISP. :)
