It was only really bad for the first 30 minutes. Once I made the appropriate adjustments, everything went back to being smooth and responsive. I forgot how bad it can be when thousands of people with god-knows-what kind of download accelerators hammering the site!

Hope to see some more fun stuff from you soon.

The real problem is /. linking TDU for a multi-month old post that was probably a dupe in the first place. It also belonged in Idle, not frontpage....

They're getting desperate for news today...

My stuff fits more in Digg than in Slashdot, hence 12,000 Diggs total in 5 big hits and only 1 big hit from Slashdot, when it wasn't even news.

I will have another newspaper interview tomorrow. Also have seen proofs of the full page article in Ripleys, Believe it or not! book. A French group also is having some gallery of my pics. So lots of busy media stuff is still going on.

I think you got reutered, because there is also a movieclip on a danish newssite without any related article, so its usually just something they pulled from reuters.
