Slashdot linked to Browse Happy (an excellent project beautifully designed by Ethan, by the way) but what makes it interesting is that I host browsehappy.com. The bad news is I had to bump MaxClients to 800. The good news is after the initial bump (settings too low in httpd.conf) it’s running along just fine. And then it got huffy when I went to dinner. ¶

And I breathe a big ol’ sigh of relief.
Nice work, Matt. Your Apache-fu is unmatched.

I’d love to see your bandwidth usage for the month
Matt | August 24th, 2004 @ 3:11 am |
According to the host’s bandwidth utilization report, we’re currently at 802.6 Gigabytes.

So… what part got huffy? Your link, or the server itself? What’re ye olde load averages looking like, if you’ve got access to that kind of info and don’t mind sharing… just curious.

Woah!
Rob Mientjes | August 24th, 2004 @ 2:02 pm |
Are the 802.6 GBs from your sites alone? What sites do you host then, apart from photomatt.net, browsehappy.com and (apparently
p) 1976design.com?

That’ll explain why I had a bit of trouble reaching your site then
. Good to see that Browsehappy got /.ed, although considering the profile of the average /.er it’s probably preaching to the converted. Still, it’s a good site to recommend to friends.

Not just /. it made c|net news too.

Keep up the noble work.

The probably most important German IT news site this article. Prepare for another impact!

I know it’s an ancient article, but as a matter of interest, who does the money from the Google AdSense affiliate link on BrowseHappy go to?

To WordPress.org, but I thought I had removed Adsense from everything a few years ago. It must not have generated enough to be noticeable.
