Cheese & Cracker's Amazing Rise

All bloggers who want to be green with envy must check out One-Hundred Percenter's graphs of Cheese & Cracker's crazy-sick rise in traffic, after only a few weeks (days?) of blogging.

Over two million unique visitors... in three or four days.

And look who's perched atop the Truth Laid Bear traffic rankings.

Cheese and Crackers tells me the following:

Yesterday my main mirror (united email systems) was getting crushed (even with additional bandwidth) and their DNS server got knocked offline. They got it back up and running and between midnight and midnight served roughly 500 terabytes (I'll have exact numbers later today), and that doesn't include any of the other mirrors (which I sadly cannot get bandwidth data for).

I don't know what 500 terabytes is, exactly, but it sounds pretty f'n' monstrous.

I'd be filled with hatred and spite, except Cheese and Crackers was nice enough to link to me, and I've gotten a taste of that sick traffic he's been getting.

Just dipping my beak, as they say in the Godfather II, but there's so damn much traffic that a little beak-dip is pretty refreshing.
