Help Bandwidth Starved Slashdot at LinuxWorld

We've been working on getting to LinuxWorld in march. We've bartered banner ads for most of what we need to make the journey, but we've recently confirmed that we need to pay big bucks to get bandwidth on the show floor. If I can't read my email & post stories, I can't go, and that would be tragic since I haven't left the house in almost a month *grin*. We want 3 IPs and it looks like thats gonna cost like $1600 (apparently LWCE thinks we're going to be distributing porn from the show). If you can help, email Hemos. We'll gladly swap banner ads on Slashdot. If you just want to advertise on Slashdot, you should contact hemos about that too- Last week we averaged over 400,000 pages a day- We actually served 506,000 pages in one day. We've grown about 20% since the T3 was installed and since we pay bills by the mb/s, our bandwidth costs are gonna increase at the end of the month. So if you want your ad to be seen by thousands of geeks and help make sure we can post stories from LW, help flood Hemos's inbox.
