We’ve been fairly successful building a readership that is not only high quality but one that also ranks in the thousands. So when you take normal traffic and triple it in one day that is no big deal from a resource standpoint and that is true even when it triples again the next day. And then the next day you double site traffic and then the next day you double again. Poor ol’ sparky the file server just wasn’t made to handle thousands of calls a second so yesterday this is what happened around 12:30pm:
Slabbed came back up in a more scalable environment this afternoon around 3:05pm and by the time I made it to my computer and checked usage around 3:15 we already had over 1,000 site visits. To the extent we are still tinkering and configuring on the backend something had to give and that something is the two posts on the Ashley Madison database queries, which I have disabled for the time being.
Thanks to the brave new world of virtualization we can now literally clone Slabbed with a click of the mouse. That, coupled with a high quality proxy service like CloudFlare means should Slabbed ever again begin clocking 1,000 site visits a minute we’ll be ready. Until then bear with us while the Slabbed Tech Team finishes the tweaks that accompany this major upgrade. Special thanks to James who worked into the wee hours of this morning making this happen.
Today is runoff election day and I will be back with a few thoughts after the polls close.
Sometimes detours are good, we get to the same place but use a different route. And most times detours seem inconvenient a nuisance. But looking bsck most of the time we can find positive out of it
I myself was going through Slabbed DTs. I am addicted to your site
Glad you’re back up and running
GPa, This Slabbed is more addictive than the caffeine in my coffee and better than a Gunsmoke rerun. While it was down I did a lot of pacing at the house. Glad to see all is back up and running.I am no gator fan.
I was thinking “What are the goathearders up to now?”
Its been awhile Lilith welcome back to comments. 🙂
Gramps I think this is a good detour plus I am becoming reacquainted with the Kernel, something I’ve been threatening to do for over a year now.
The draft audit is out in BSL! Cant wait till it hits the public!!
Les is claiming clerical problems. I must remind him and the council that all of Bernie Madoff’s crimes were clerical in nature but it is still criminal!
I guess I don’t need to say we did not get the results we were looking for in the District 1 and 4 supervisor runoffs. Both opponents worked very hard to oust Ross and Cumbest but just did not quite get there. Many individuals also gave a lot of time and effort in getting the word out to the people of our county. I myself was more active than I have been in a couple of decades. While I have never enjoyed being on the losing side I did like the action of going out meeting people and trying to get them to vote for anybody but these incumbents. Now that this phase is over it is time for all to take a close look at the opponents Ross has in the general election. Just maybe we all get behind one of the two and at least worry the hell out of Ross. Would love to hear what others are thinking about where we go from here.
wonder if anyone bought any votes this year???
