She's breaking up Captain!

    In the words of the great Scotty (not that I am a Star Trek fan or anything), "she's breaking up Captain!" (why did they build their ships so unreliably they couldn't cope with the every day stresses of going where no one had gone before?). Here's what my long suffering admin has to say about my some people are getting a timeout trying to read this site:

      Methinks your website is too popular for something that spawns a Perl process
      
      per visitor.
      
      


    It doesn't help that there is no something like five major search engines crawling here a lot -- as opposed to the two I had a couple of years ago. That's right. It's MSN's fault.

    Anyways, I guess the next step is to try modperl, and perhaps prayer. Got any other suggestions? Drop me a line. [tags: perlatmywebsite perl blosxom linux]
