What I learned from being a fleeting internet celeb

As I mentioned before I never in a million years figured my little gimmick would take off. I knew I had done something special but most people just ignore the stupid stuff I do. A buddy of mine aptly named ‘someonefromhell’ tweeted the IP of my little gimmick and a few hours later, cmdrtaco formerly of slashdot, and Tim O’Reilly of publishing fame retweeted it. From there my poor little T1 hit near 100% utilization (this is fine, its for testing only) and my 15 minutes were created.

2. People are suck jerks.

Dude did a cute thing and people gotta attack him for it. I mean it's one thing to have your server overwhelmed when you suddenly become internet famous. But for assholes to DDoS you just because of it. Sigh.

3. ^^So's this.

Well, you may have to ask my wife if I'm all that fun. Some days I get the feeling she is merely tolerating my shenanigans.
