Slashdot Killed My Website...

July 8, 2004 | Mark Goldstein | Photography Blog | Comment |

Yesterday one of the news stories here on PhotographyBLOG was featured on Slashdot, the immensely popular technology news/discussion site. That’s the good news.

The bad news is that the sudden influx of visitors killed my server, knocking it offline for about 6 hours from 3pm onwards.

We’ve now made some server changes that will hopefully cope better with large traffic increases in the future. Fingers-crossed, touch wood etc.

So apologies to everyone if you visited PhotographyBLOG yesterday, only to find that it had temporarily disappeared…
