Somebody just bought me to be their pet on Facebook for $666. I see bad times ahead.

Yep, it’s been that kind of exciting weekend for me.  I’ve trying to monitor my blog for performance and on a whim I happened to sign up for a monitoring service with a 30 day free trial just for kicks.  It can ping my blog every minute and report back to me if something goes wrong.

Well something went wrong. 

As it turns out, my site had been going offline for minutes at a time in the wee hours of the morning, either timing out or returning internal server errors, and I never even knew it.  I submitted a ticket to support and they promptly checked my configurations, fixed a few things and since then I haven’t gotten any error reports.

But wow, if it hadn’t been for the pinging service I never would have known something was up.  After the trial is over I’m going to sign up for a year.  It’s $10 a month normally, but for the first year I get a 70% discount, so for now it will only cost me 3 bucks a month.  Definitely seems worth it.

Interesting, I now have a new server with a high ceiling for growth and a monitoring service to boot, almost as if I were preparing myself for unpredecented amount of traffic that may be coming soon. 

But if not, I’ll settle for a girl.  A nice girl.  Or maybe pizza.  Sicilian pizza, with extra cheese.
