I’m impressed!

Completely blown away!

photojojo has posted an entry about dumpr.net today.

Let me elaborate how my day worked out today. I woke up, dizzy and with a sore throat (damn that disease!), sat down with one eye open at the keyboard and checked statistics. I restarted my gimp-server on dumpr, and when it reloaded, there were 10-or-so requests in backlog. I was stunned! While I was trying to make some use of the other eye, gmail notifier popped up and told me there’s an email from photojojo. I checked my gmail and saw an article on dumpr.

It was like magic. Every second there was a request, I couldn’t breathe. Out of nowhere, dumpr received this mass flood of (so-far) 7,000 unique visitors. A lot of them emailed in some suggestions, bug reports and generally this-is-a-great-site kindof emails. I even got flamed, my first flame :’)

This is a very rewarding experience. I’m updating dumpr with bug fixes while traffic is still pouring in. I applied the missing upload-photo and embed-photo features, and immediately people started using them. Build it and they will come :)

Tomorrow is another day at the office, and I’m hooking at refreshing my google analytics page :)

Cheers!
– me
