I’m so sorry.
Here’s what happened:

I hosted IM Success Notes on this server as it was very over-spec and could deal with huge traffic spikes. (It had 4Gb of RAM and an [...]

Surf Wars - new manual traffic exchange
June 14th, 2009 No Comments
My friend Neil Marsh has just launched http://www.surfwars.net - a Star Wars themed manual traffic exchange.
Offering a timer as low as 8 seconds, surf ratios right up to 1:1 and the chance to play for either the “Republic” or the “Empire” any Star Wars fan who surfs for credits would be silly to miss out on [...]

March 29th, 2009 1 Comment
More and more companies are catching on to the massive exposure that its possible to get through Twitter.

How To Scale Your Web Technology For Product Launch - Lessons Learned From The Butterfly Marketing 2.0 Launch
March 25th, 2009 4 Comments
When the order link for the Butterfly Marketing 2.0 launch was emailed to Mike Filsaime’s “Early Bird” list yesterday, the BFM servers crashed pretty spectacularly. Ustream chatrooms were packed with unhappy punters jabbing the refresh button like woodpeckers - fearful they might miss the opportunity to be one of the first 5000 to grab what was undeniably [...]
