A busy 48 hours…

April 21st, 2007

The last 48 hours have been a little crazy for me here. My article 10 Tips for Being a Better Office Professional hit the front page of Digg.com and the rest was history. I’d like to thank all of the readers that came and offered their kind words and (mostly) constructive criticism.

We essentially pushed out 25 times our month to date traffic in 2 days. I’m planning on doing a post mortem and followup on the whole affair in the near future, but for now I need to concentrate on making sure that our new server is up to speed and get back to work on Chicago.

Here’s a quick look back at what I’ve done in the last few days web development and site administration wise:


My server on Digg

  • Thursday night I babysat the site while we were still having issues with the traffic. I was tailing my error logs and bouncing apache once I started seeing memory errors on my poor VPS. wp-cache wasn’t configured properly due to PHP minutae so that’s a primary reason for the site buckling under the pressure. I also wasn’t running my custom object caching system for the main site (a memcached implementation) at the time for… unknown reasons.
  • Spent half of the night on the phone with my hosting company trying to get a dedicated box. I’ll give a shout out to LiquidWeb.com for going the extra mile for me.
  • Counted the $3.17 I earned through the whole thing one penny at a time.
  • Worked to get the new box online (which you’re viewing this entry on right now).

Doesn’t seem like a huge list now that I look at it, I must be slacking.

My to do list:

  • Get Chicago out the door. I have a lot of work to do here and I’d like to get it out by tomorrow night at the latest. Chicago loves its sports and I want to do them proud.
  • Make sure that my object caching is working correctly. I saw some errors/warnings when I started it up on the new box and I’m wondering if I have some version mis-matches lingering in the belly of the beast.
  • Make sure that apache stays healthy. I saw a couple of random http seg faults scroll by on the error log, the new server isn’t fully smoke tested as yet so I’m going to have to keep an eye on things.

Thanks again everybody,

Jack
