I wasn't prepared for the massive amount of traffic influx that suddenly hit FeedJournal Reader yesterday. I know that some of you ran into errors due to the heavy load, and I apologize for that. As a temporary measure I disabled image support in FeedJournal Reader. But don't worry, images will return soon! I am working hard to find a new and better scalable solution.
Take control of your unwieldy to do-list by combining Google Docs and PocketMod. With the system described here you will always be ready to take notes, and never run the risk of losing an idea! Update (July 30, 2009): Now using a Google Docs template. I use a subset of GTD (" Getting Things Done ") by having a digital copy of my next actions, sorted by context (@Home, @Office, @Shopping, @Computer, etc.). This lets me easily look up what I need to do, depending on where I am. However, a digital copy is not very useful by itself, since it is not accessible when I am offline. Putting it in my PDA is not ideal either, since the overhead of adding a new note is too big (turning on the device, opening the right application, having it recognize my handwriting). That's why I print out my to-do list on paper once a week and carry it in my pocket. It's the ideal way of accessing and editing tasks. Before I print out a new list I spend a minute or two copying the edits from my
You were featured on Lifehacker recently. That probably contributed to the recent influx of traffic. I am here b/c of that post and have to say that I love the concept and look forward to using this service.
ReplyDeleteHi Jonas,
ReplyDeleteEverytime I read Techcrunch.com they are always talking about how scalability is a must!
I found a solution to the problem that scales much better. Give me a couple of days to implement and test it and we should soon have images available again!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should find a better webhost? Something with a good bandwidth and enough CPU to take all the traffic? Try Rudolf from THC (company I am working for) as an affordable alternative :) though I guess soon you'll be pretty rich - great job, Jonas!
ReplyDeleteMig: Thanks. I checked up your hosting offer but I don't see THC offer ASP.NET or SQL Server. I am looking for something to replace my current hosting provider though.
