Nano Blogging Day #3 - Technological Woes
Nov. 3rd, 2008 11:58 pmDear Nanowrimo Site Folks,
You know how people donate money to you every year so you can keep things going and do cool stuff? Well, maybe (and this is just a suggestion) if you know that you're going to get a huge spike in traffic in the early days of November, maybe you could invest in servers and bandwidth to handle it. Just sayin'. The point of NaNoWriMo is to write a novel in 30 days amongst a community of others doing the same. So I kinda feel that the money you receive should go towards funding that first and foremost. And whatever other projects you have should get funding after you're sure that the site works.
And if you can't for whatever reason handle that and you know your servers have been crapping out, maybe you could post something besides, "Teehee, isn't it so funny how our servers have been timing out on you constantly for the last three days? We knew that was going to happen, but oh well, good luck getting through!"
Still, I love you guys and I love the site. I just wish that it would actually work. I'm tired of it taking me three tries just to see my buddies and how they're doing.
Loving You Still,
Me
