Slashdot Headaches

I just wanted to explain yesterday to ya'll quick a second. For 4-5 hours yesterday Slashdot was a bit under the weather. I'm not exactly sure why it died, except to say that we got linked from somewhere fairly sizable since we were getting several times the usual number of hits. Probably due to my Netscape Editorial or something. Anyway, I guess that means that the time to start thinking about hardware upgrades has moved up a bit.
