Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Apr 24, 2002 6:01pm PDTOooooh my, yeah so we managed to be pretty much the first outa the gate with the patch versions for Half-Life and Counter-Strike this evening. Which in turn meant the entire internet collapsed on top of us. Something like 7,000+ users online (when we could count, it prolly went higher) and averaging over 700 requests per second. Once Fileshack is complete we'll have a setup to balance out the load among mirrors, as Seattle is just hammered but New York is hardly being touched. Dallas is pretty stable now too. We've settled down to 500 requests per second now.

I somehow managed to get Snapple on my wall here. Its a generic apartment wall but the snapples not coming off. Its dried on pretty good (dont ask).
Soap and water with a scrub brush isnt cutting it.
Any suggestions? Snapple is basically soda with no carbination.

I just read it cover to cover. Man that was a good book. Not excellent writing perhaps, but the STORY behind it all was pretty fucking awesome (because it's real!).
I'm even more firm in my belief that the SAS are the baddest motherfuckers in the world.
