Pretty much according to plan, we’re still serving very low-volume traffic at Backyard Post. The little guy’s still in his wee beta release onesie, after all, so we’re not quite ready to start handling a wider audience. Which is why only an incredibly small number of people probably even noticed that, very much not according to plan, the site was down for 11 hours yesterday. An odd confluence of events was behind both the original problem and its extended duration. Lessons learned.
Mainly, we tried to view this for what it was: An excellent opportunity to begin creating our own “sorry we screwed up the site but maybe you’ll get a kick out of this witty lolcat we made” pictures. Now that’s an exciting development.
