Today I had a story on the Firefly premiere accepted on Slashdot:

Naturally, I included a link to fireflyfans.net. Hey Haken, did you know that you don't exist? According to one post, your site is too professional-looking to be a real fan site. It's "obvious" that Fox is running this site, not some geek.

Yeah, saw the Slashdot article. Thanks.
Funny thing is, a friend of mine from Sun Microsystems saw the article then called me to "warn me" specifically that I'm on Slashdot.
This is a good a test as any to see if the site can take the load.

I seem to recall your claiming your that your web technology should scale well. Since you haven't crashed yet, I guess that's true! Most web sites that get "slashdotted" aren't so lucky:

The server can take the load. It's my little T1 that I'm worried about.
I have Etherpeek running right now monitoring the network traffic. Utilization of the T1 is hitting about 60 to 70%. Every now and then I'll see a spike and then a drop, which means that the feed maxed out and all the connections times out for a few ms then recovers.
