View Full Version : Saturday Night's "Unsung" Heros
Like many, I thoroughly enjoyed "watching" WO hunt for Pete. I congratulate WO on his success.
Without diminishing the podcast team's considerable role, I wanted to say that I was mightily impressed with how the website handled the traffic. There had to have been quite a few of us hitting refresh "every two seconds" as one poster said and probably more often than that. That can put quite a demand on a webserver(s) and an internet pipeline. Yet, not once during the whole evening was there any visible (to me) problem or even a slow down with the site.
So, to our wonderful webmasters and everone else who made this possible, THANK YOU!

Excellent point! I totally agree. I know I was so surprised how quickly I was able to refresh, many, many, many times and how easily I was able to keep up with WO's search Saturday night! It was awesome and made the whole thing so much more fun! Thanks so much to the wonderful WebMasters! :thumbsup2

I am impressed! Even if I do not understand what the techies do or how they do it...I know that all was smooth. Thank you.
I have a dirty little secret....I don't own an Ipod or know how to download a pod cast....but I can hit the "listen now" button and enjoy old and new podcasts as I work at my desk.
Non tech people like me really appreciate how easy y'all make it to share in the Dis Magic.

What's the line they feed us IT people?.... They less they hear from us, the better? Of course, I like to think of it the other way around.... LOL ;)
Citrix, VMWare, Cisco switch, Load balancer, NAS, LAN, WAN, oh, and my favorite, LAPI Loader! These are a few of my faaaaavorite things....LOL (Okay, it's late and I'm punchy ;) )

Thanks you all! It was a wonderful Saturday evening, and like everyone else I was hitting the refresh button. It all came up wonderfully. Great site, and great work! John, how about another cruise for Pete so we can give the servers another workout????:cool1:

Thank you thank you thank you! I wasn't near a computer Saturday night so I missed on all the fun - though I got to read about it later. I don't know what I would do without my DIS fix! Thank you for allowing me to be a little crazy every day!
