When the story hit the front page, I was receiving such an amount of requests for this article I couldn't even keep the server going. It is running as a virtual machine and at many points the server peaked above 80.00 on it's load average. It was so high that the host server shut it down countless times. This comes to hard lesson #1... CACHE! Now this site (not surprisingly) is ran using Wordpress. Luckily that means there are tons of great caching plugins. Use one! I had reminded myself about three times to do that in September and October, but found excuses not to. It's simple and it saved my site.]]> http://www.ninthdivision.com/blog/2009/11/surviving-the-hacker-news-effect/feed/ 0 http://www.ninthdivision.com/blog/2009/04/generation-2-website-launched/ http://www.ninthdivision.com/blog/2009/04/generation-2-website-launched/#comments Sat, 11 Apr 2009 20:21:43 +0000 Andy http://www.ninthdivision.com/?p=182

We have finally released a new site. It's about time I say. The old one was a weekend experiment in Wordpress themes. I wanted to learn it and I did... but what came out looked like a persons first-full-from scratch wordpress theme; not a good business site.]]> http://www.ninthdivision.com/blog/2009/04/generation-2-website-launched/feed/ 0
