TimBL's blog

I have a sneaking suspicion that Tim's first post is going to have a number of unpredictable effects, which of course won't stop me from trying to predict some worst case scenarios.

First, is our machine ready to handle the load of a bunch of blogs and technorati and Slashdot and digg and everybody else linking to him all at once? I don't think I'm underestimating the power of Sir Tim's name to attract attention amongst the tech savvy nor their power to cause a massive cascading effect that could just knock us straight off the web at its peak(s).

Are we ready for malicious attacks on our net space?

Are we prepared for any bandwidth issues? I imagine most people are going to want to subscribe to at least Tim's RSS feed, if not the DIG feed.
