Aaton's Journal: Beta and all its glory

Well the http://beta.slashdot.org/ test seems to have gone smoothly from where I'm sitting in Netops. The machines were more than happy with all the people runing ab against the site. Behind the scene the slashdot programmers made some tweaks here and there plus some upped connection to the DB. The Mobile section still pointed to the original site plus so did Old Polls under Stories. They did noticed a 10G log file created by the image server(s) that wasn't setup in cronolog yet. Overall a good test, shaped the bandwidth down and up, turned services off then on. I think my favorite thing has been the comments and some of the guessing of what OS the site is running.
