Overwhelmed servers

Posted by Thomas Chapin on Friday, January 13th, 2006

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.

Pretty funny.
