wow, what a ride…
So, when my fogbow picture got posted on APOD, lookit what happened to mah server:

Notice how consistently things roll along throughout the month: there are only dozens of you out there reading this, still. And then, on the 29th, came the APOD post — bang!? Right through the roof!? Nice to know the server can withstand an APOD-sized crowd–I have no idea what would happen if we got slashdotted.
Thanks to everyone who’ve provided me with kind words and an affirmation of what I’m doing here. Cheers!
Congrats on surviving the APOD hit!
JOhn.
