Blue polo shirt fun
What happens when a bunch of people dress in blue polo shirts, khaki pants, belts and black shoes and all decide to wander around in Best Buy at the same time? Find out. :-)

Now THAT was fun to watch (and read)!

You should take a look at their entire site. They apparently faked a "impromptu" U2 rooftop concert right next door and just before the real U2 was going to play somewhere. :-) Crazy stuff. :-)

What happens when hundreds of thousands of people hit an image-laden webpage that details people in blue polo shirts wandering around a Best Buy, on a server that I run?

Charlie Todd is a veteran of the NC improv scene, and I run his site as a favor to him. Around noon, I noticed things were getting very slow...

Oh my! That's a pretty impressive burst there.

I actually wondered if you might know anyone involved, but I somewhat discounted it since it was NY and not NC. Interesting to know that you do. :-)

Dude! What's your traffic like today? That was the very first story on Rocketboom this morning!

Averaging around 20Mbps now that I've enabled gzip compression. We've also been farked.

Gzip compression rules. Where do you host your server? This isn't on the end of a cable modem, I hope!

Nah, I do side work as sysadmin for a small webhosting company, colocated at a datacenter in Delaware. http://www.skiltech.com/

That's where the server is.
