We're all on macs now

So the site is doing well. However, it's an odd feeling: all the principals of the site (Ericson, me, and Widhadh) are now on Macs. Yep, not a PC or Windoze box anywhere in site.

Odd that. So for bug reports on Windoze, I'll have to fire up a secondary computer to check it out, if it's platform specific.

OR ask Dara, Harish, or Adam to check it out (our trusty & faithful employees). :)

It's a funny feeling, being on a Mac.

Downtime last night: big server migration

Just to let anybody who reads this know, we had a lot of downtime last night, because we migrated servers (again). This time, we put in place a two server setup, one for the database and one for the web related stuff, which helps us scale.

Next time, if we need another server, it'll be child's play to add another box to the front end to help with growth.

A year ago, I wouldn't have believed we'd get to 1.2 million visitors a month, but that's where we're at now. It's an exciting place and we still haven't put together what I'd describe as our vision for what FunAdvice could become.

So, don't panic, we're back now. And it should be faster than ever. :) Let us know if you have any questions, comments, or recommendations, we'd love to hear them.
