Help Stress Test The New Slashdot

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bring-it-on dept.

Here's you chance to generate wasteful http traffic without even having to run unpatched IIS! We're ready to test Banjo, our new fancy setup w/ new code and new hardware. We plan to keep testing until we think the system is ready. You are also welcome to submit Bug Reports, although it would be helpful if you skimmed the list of bugs before submitting new ones so we don't have 300 of you tell us that your user info page has other people's comments listed on it again. The new hardware is mostly in place, but the code hasn't been fully optimized yet, so run your wgets... write your bots... whatever makes you happy, but please don't be malicious: just try to load and submit web pages. And don't be surprised, its gonna go up and down like a yo yo as we fix things.

  1. Suggestion for E2 linkage by mr100percent · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Perhaps, since E2 links have been popping up in the stories, and they're related, could the next Slashcode have the ability to [link] the [bracketed text] to [E2] sites?

    That would be a little more [goatse.cx|efficient].

    Correction:

    I realize that for stories and comments we can look up in the URL for the (non-Y2K compliant) year, but it's just annoying.

  3. Web servers off: DB server acting up by Kurt+Gray · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We turned off the banjo web servers for a few minutes to see why the DB server is spitting out bizarre errors.

  4. Banjo Video clip by cosmol · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you're wondering where the name Banjo came from Cartoon Networks's site has a funny clip.
