A blog post I wrote last night ended up on the front page of Reddit this morning. As of 2pm, I have had more unique visitors today than I had in January-March of this year combined!
My stack of nginx, Apache, Django and memcache all kicked in exactly as designed, and handled the flood of visitors without breaking (much) of a sweat, on a $25-a-month virtual server.
(Hat tip to Simon Willison for blogging about using this architecture. and inspiring me to preemptively deploy it on my own blog)
I CAN HAS GROVYMUTHER?
Lummy! It’s been five years since I started writing on groovymother.com. Gonna have to spend some time this weekend doing visualizations of my post history.
Just launched my rebuilt and redesigned blog. It's still a bit on the brittle side, but I'm really happy with it as a first step.
This is an archive of groovmother.com, the old blog run by Rod Begbie — A Scottish geek who lives in San Francisco, CA.
I'm the co-founder of Sōsh, your handy-dandy guide for things to do in San Francisco this weekend.
