Overwhelmed servers
Wow. Last night was crazy. I posted my automatic windows login article up on digg.com, which is a news source with a cult-like following. Somehow my post made it to their front page and it was like a dam broke. Our server was getting nailed with like 20,000 visitors all at once. Needless to say, the server couldn't handle the load and repeatedly overloaded and rebooted itself.
The article also somehow made it onto the del.ic.ous "popular" bookmarks.
Pretty funny.
