15? I think it started in 95 or so Domain Name:SLASHDOT.ORG Created On:05-Oct-1997 04:00:00 UTC I type corrected. :) slashdot was one of the first real big websites to use template toolkit (Perl) tempted to try an upgrade of my VPS to FreeBSD 9.1-R been running freebsd here for eyars years I like it, started out with 2.1.5 or so it would be interesting to see a historical traffic graph for /. then plot that against reddit throw digg in there too? ja maybe some hackernews too and geocities! lol my first website was on geocities. I looked for it in archives the other day, and it's beyond gone :/ angelfire was mine. anyone use / remember tripod websites i rmember them. oh nice my guess for slashdot.org's age was pretty accurate has to be fun working at tumblr right now Why? http://downrightnow.com/tumblr when is tumblr not down? huh, had no idea... They're missing their A record though they actually removed it easymac: usually? I mean, I've never had a problem visiting a tumblr blog probably couldn't handle telling people tubmlr was down haha they're down pretty frequently. that's aweosme that they removed the A record though. this track comes to mind :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDwxhHwJ66M easymac: yeah. a-grade network management well CNAMEs seem to be working just fine i.e. individual blogs i've pulled up a few (okay it's not a CNAME, it's an A with a 5s TTL) yeah, custom domain names work fine too weird, assets.tumblr.com is hanging, but it's supposed to be on Akamai not hanging for me i dont have a link to an asset, but i can resolve and communicate with assets. just connected *shrug* whatever oh well
