I’ve been running dummyimage.com for nearly 14 years now. Most of which has been on a tiny $6/month VPS. It started acting slow a couple of weeks ago so I ended up running everything through Cloudflare. Turns out the site is getting about 14.5 million requests a day!!!

Found a shnazzy tool for generating #CSS duotone images, fun to fiddle with the settings 😀 cssduotone.com

We’re looking for an entry-level/junior web developer – someone willing to learn on the job, especially when it comes to coding within our style & framework. authenticjobs.com/job/7665/studi…

@jasonbahl That’s um… quite an elaborate joke

“After one month of blogging, Trump’s blog shuts down”

I mean it happens to all of us. Start a blog, then we move on to something else. I bet he’s working on a new JavaScript framework…

@JoAnnStilley Yea they are loud. It’s pretty neat to see how they make the noise youtube.com/watch?v=R-nxPvIQHf0

“Shop for zumies. The best choice online for zumies is at Zumiez.com”

Me when I walk into Zumiez at the mall and they greet me with “Good afternoon sir”

@mattcampux So good. They had a series called Ice Planet 2002 that came out in 1993. The future obviously didn’t pan out that well.

@mattcampux Nope. I’m out. I get squeamish in the back seat of a pickup truck.

@m_uysl Yea I think that would just make my poor little $6 VPS hurt more. The cached requests are trending in the right direction.

My server is just sitting there twiddling its thumbs today. I guess all the bots in China went home for the weekend…

@m_uysl LOL it wasn’t running that well earlier this week. It now runs through Cloudflare. No wonder my CPU was pegged 100% all the time…

Someone reached out to thank me for running dummyimage.com and it felt so nice. 🤗🤗🤗

@aaronbrazell @williamsba Was it WordCamp Midatlantic? russellheimlich.com/blog/wordcam… That was was my first WordCamp ever!
