Don't Blame Bia And Branca, It Was All My Fault

Around the time of the Olympics, this site had a ton of traffic. The load was so heavy, I got an e-mail from my web host saying I was taking up 80% of the server load before they had to shut down parts of the site. Considering I post about once a month, this sort of had me puuzzled as to what could have happened.

Some people blamed Bia and Branca, but that was actually not the case. The problem was with Amanda Beard and her cameltoe. That post about Speedo's LZR racer swimsuit shot my blog to the top of the "amanda beard cameltoe" search rankings in google. During the Olympics, this search went way up for some reason, with thousands of people killing my server looking for it.

Well, I cleaned up some of the peformance problems, but then there was a javascript bug that was causing IE to crash with a "Operation Aborted" error. Thanks to the suckitude that is IE, there was no more explanation. Many people once again blamed Bia and Branca because it happened after I posted all of those pictures of them. Well, it is kind of their fault, because the problem was Lightbox2, which I implemented only in response to posting their pictures. A small search put the problem in the Lightbox 2.0.4 library, and the solution was to downgrade to Lightbox 2.0.3. So, things should be working now.

Now back to our regularly scheduled lack of posting.
