High Load Continues

Update: We will be migrating to a new site on Friday afternoon - prepare for a few hours of downtime.

The server running Tomorrow.sg is being pushed to its limits, thanks to all the traffic to the site. Under normal circumstances, the server can manage the stress, but as there are a couple of other high-volume sites (like the Infantile podcasts by mrbrown) on the same machine, together, they can literally kill the server.

Our excuse is we are trying to imitate IRAS. They got load problem so we must also have; stand together mah! But some editors feel otherwise, saying this creates a bad image for Tomorrow.sg.

So we have decided to take some emergency measures to migrate Tomorrow.sg to a dedicated machine in the next 24 to 48hrs. We are looking at a nuclear-powered solution, DOHC, preferably with extra cup-holders.

In the meantime, please bear with us as we iron this out. We are making the hamsters run as fast as they can.

Sorry, we didn't serve you better. But please be kind to us and don't roast us on your blogs like you did to IRAS.

By the way, this marks our the first week and we are already in the thick of it, with debates raging on the racist PSC scholar issue and the infantile world of Singapore blogs.

And today, Today quoted us. One can only imagine how things will be like tomorrow for Tomorrow :-)
