Folks, please don't try to connect to that service. Posting it here seems to have Slashdotted it.
Generally something doesn't get "Slashdotted" unless it is fully of poorly written dynamic code which should never have been put in production in the first place, such as PHP doing 20 mysql queries per page view or something else equally stupid and linux kiddie.
A BOFH quote generator, on the other hand, is very very simple. It boggles the mind to imagine a server so weak or code so bad that it couldn't handle a couple hundred connections from NANOG readers. If that is the case, I would strongly suggest you reevaluate the language or method in which it was written.
I beg your pardon? Where did you get the idea that I wrote or hosted it? I was assuming it'd been Slashdotted because it was working fine before I posted the link, then stopped working shortly afterwards. It's also entirely possible the somebody at the site got annoyed at all the requests & put a DENY ALL on it. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."
