Who is this Mike guy and what’s on his list?
It appears that the reason my Newton web server has been getting hammered since last night is that it merited a mention on Mike’s List. What the heck is Mike’s List? That’s what I wanted to know. Big surprise, it’s an email newsletter digitally stapled together by one Mike Elgan, computer industry wonk to the stars. Ah, there’s nothing like having your site linked to from a technology-focused email newsletter with 45,000 or so subscribers. Slashdot effect junior. Mike, on behalf of the Newton platform and its current phalanx of supporters, I’d like to say thank you for the busload of free advertising. I guess I owe you one. That being said, I’m just damn glad that I discovered how to make the NPDS Watcher more reliable before all this nutty traffic happened. Nearly 2,000 hits over the past 24 hours. Yipe.
