Scaling is fun!
Ah, scaling! The problem you want to have. Well, we've got it all right.*You'll see some scaling-related changes, such as a new author-combination "wait" page (with an animated whale to keep you company**), and the removal of the Group Zeitgesit page. Searching your catalog is again very speedy, but at the expense of some of the bells and whistles (eg., negative searches). We know it needs work.
Thanks for hanging in there. We're heads-down on the changes we need to make, and have a hardware order in the pipeline.

You guys do great work, can't always have it all at once :P. The growth is awesome, the more the merrier. I'm just glad you guys are taking the necessary steps to keep everything working. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do!

I would have expected a bigger post-Christmas jump, as everyone added their new books.
Good to know you're trying to stay in front of the problem, though for scaling I suspect it may be a matter of keeping back the tide?
But a request - when you do feel you've got sufficient capacity to cope with normal usage please turn the bells and whistles back on. Many where much appreciated. This may involve keeping a list of those that you have turned off!
Ugh, pretty please, no obnoxious moving whales or other marine mammals for that matter.
I'm happy to see the little killer whale back, after a long absence!
YIPES indeed! Can LT be TOO popular?
Thanks for the post, I had been wondering where Group Zeitgeist had got to.
Funny update: Our colo is expressing concern that they can't service our growing power needs. Man, we need to get out of Maine!
WOW. LT is TOO popular? *sends Tim and Co. hugs* Thank you for doing all of this and working so hard!
And I love that whale. hehe
