The attached graph shows the /. effect on wwwmaster's net connection.
I'm surprised it tailed off so quickly...

Don't count your chickens, the conventional press hasn't hit yet, and that's
where most of the Windows users will come from.

There may also be a slight "secondary slashdot" late in the afternoon US
time. Generally I'ev seen the slashdot effect being "worse" ni the late
afternoon US time.

<statement boldness="probably a bit on the high side">
Then again, I'm personally in the camp that beleive the slashdot effect
is a myth spread by people who can't design web applications properly
(hey, the most common sign of the slashdot effect is the 'failed to
connect to mysql' error after all). Sure, some are bandwidth related,
but most are just the box folding completely because the app is badly
designed.

Yeah, but I expect the fallout there to be more sporadic as different
publications come out at different times. Still, it's nice to survive /.
Especially as the article orginally had wwwmaster as the primary website
:-)
