New listening slots added

I just added 20 more slots on the 40k stream, so I can now handle 60 concurrent listeners: 40 at 40kbps, and 20 at 24kbps.

Some of you may have gotten dumped when I made the change a couple minutes ago -- I had to briefly restart the server. If so, sorry for the brief interruption. You should be able to reconnect now.

Welcome Visitors from BoingBoing!

As a longtime BoingBoing reader, I welcome you! Glad to know where all these hits are coming from. I also see that a couple dozen of you have added del.icio.us bookmarks today.

If the audio isn't working for you, it's because all the BoingBoing traffic has consumed all my listening slots. If it doesn't settle down soon, I'll try to add some more slots.

Thanks for checking out the site...and come back soon.

Wow...why so many listeners?

Someone just emailed & said they weren't able to listen. I checked & saw all slots are full. I pay for 40 simultaneous connections: 20 at 40kbps, and 20 at 24kpbs. All are currently in use. Normally I have 20-30 people listening concurrently. Today I've hit 40 and people are apparently getting turned away.

What happened -- is this a post-Clifftop thing? Was someone talking up SITG down there?

I'd love to add more connections, but it costs me $$$ -- maybe I'll put up a tip jar or something.

Any thoughts/suggestions/explanations would be appreciated.

thanks!

John
