[Nel] Some "heavy" perturbations...

Thu, 8 Feb 2001 16:48:46 +0100

You might have noticed the sluggish feel of the site, and the lack of
+prompt response by the mailing list (well maybe not).
+
+For those who didn't pay attention to the warnings earlier, we got
+referenced on Slashdot, which means about 1,000 people trying to click
+simultaneously on the link leading... well here.
+
+We don't have the infrastructure in place to handle this. Usually, no one
+has (it's kinda hard to justify putting enormous ressources to sustain a
+spike in traffic that will be mostly gone next week, once everyone had a
+look here).
+
+We've got however a bunch of new people coming here, so I'd like to say
+hello to all of you. I do hope you've browsed quickly thru the mail
+archives on the www.nevrax.org web site, and found it interesting. The
+list has gone mainly silent, with the odd compile problem cropping here
+and there, but that doesn't need to remain so.
+
+So, what do you think about NeL so far?
