wow.. traffic
Boingboing.net, the very popular "Directory of Wonderful Things", posted a link to one of my posts.
(This is the link to the boingboing.net page).
Well..its nice being linked to from BoingBoing.. but what I was unprepared for was the barrage of traffic to my site as a result of that link. Here's my stats for visitors and page loads for the past 30 days...

As you can see, this site gets about a couple of hundred page loads on average per day, and similar number of visitors...kinda. But 2 days ago that spiked to over 4000 page loads and unique visitors.
that was some heavy load on my pore old home brewed server!!
Moral of the story.. if youre getting linked to from a popular page, be prepared for the rush.
