Pardon the small pieces of Web server scattered about

Posted on February 20, 2007 @ 1:14 pm

My apologies if Apropos of Something is running slowly — or not at all — today. It seems my entry on bald female celebrities has brought a server-crushing deluge of traffic to the site. So far, I’ve been Boing Boing’ed, Washington Post’ed, Salon’ed and, most intriguingly, GorillaMask’ed. The traffic shows no sign of stopping at the moment, but my server guru is on the case, cracking his whip on the small family of server gophers that powers the site and pleading earnestly with them to keep up the hard work until another celebrity does something stupid and draws the Web’s attention elsewhere. Toodles!

    Don’t forget the little people when you’re a web superstar. ;)

    I hope you’re not on some metered bandwidth plan.

    Thanks to an old post on my blog about Anna Nicole Smith, I’ve had to shell out $20 for extra bandwidth this month. It got over 150,000 visitors! I deleted it, but Google still has it indexed.

    OMG!… to think that bald women were the thing to get you to superstar status…

    I may have come for the baldies, but I’m staying for the comics and Lost-vivor. Hello!

    Jessica: Thanks! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the non-bald-women related content at the site, too. ;)
