I blog because once a post of mine made the front page of HN and you guys crashed my VPS with traffic for 2 days straight - including my work site hosted on the same server. I will cherish that moment of excitement and terror for the rest of my days

- Schwolop 2y agoThat is hilarious. HackerNews was also the source of my blog's highest day of traffic. IIRC I quit a job and wrote about it and somehow a lot of people read it. I often feel I _should_ blog more, but then I don't. And every now and again I go and read something I wrote ten years ago and feel a little embarrassed by my past self. But every so often I read something that makes me feel that I _did_ know a few things, or did some cool things, and even if no one else ever read about them it made me feel better ten years in the future and _that_ alone is worth it. Also, my name is Tom and I'm also a juggler. Weird coincidence to be replying to your username... :-)
