Very curious, how did this get onto the HN front page?

  As the author, so am I! I thought I'd repost it and miraculously it got to at least position 30...

    Now that the site is struggling, and I can't look it up... is there a follow-up to that post, or is that how far you got?

      I was stuck on a train (typical timing hey?!). I've got the site back up, but it needs a bit more fettling. Is it working your end now? I'm currently writing a part two which extends on what I started last year.

        Typical timing? You posted it ;) Can't really complain about this!

          I know! I posted it roughly 6 hours before it hit the front page. I really didn't expect it to get as high as it did. Sysadmin on a packed train isn't fun! Thanks for all the supportive and useful comments guys, really appreciated. I'll be sure to finish off the next article when I get chance. The site should perform a bit better soon. I added a nodebalancer, just waiting for the DNS to propagate.
