Is this thing on?

Tuesday, 26th September 2006 by James

It’s been a rollercoaster week with all the Digg traffic, most of which I knew nothing about as I’ve been on holiday, but Alex has been doing an stellar job keeping the site up as much as possible.

Now that I’ve returned we’ve agreed to upgrade to a newer, even more powerful dedicated server, and if you’re reading this post then it appears to be working!

We’re confident this new server can handle it, so keep on linking to the Topless Sunbather and make sure you Digg the story and we’ll get some new sights online in the next couple of days.

    Its good to see things back up and running.

    The story has finally made it to Australia (we are a little behind everyone else) and is in the Sydney Morning Herald today.

    Keep up the good work.

    But why rum is gone? …. I mean why GoogleEarth links don’t work at all? I simply have an error message that file can not be found on server, that’s for couple of month already.

    You’re great guys, but I simply can not enjoy it ….
