After all the recent fun we’ve had helping CheddarVision out, I shouldn’t really have been surprised by an e-mail I got recently.
It was from Jim @ Isotope Communications, the people advising CheddarVision, and his first words were ‘we are in a bit of a pickle’. (Hence the title).
They are working with what appears to be the next big viral hit, Big Udder, the Cow Version of Big Brother (some would say that was the last series that was on TV, but I digress…..). It’s already been featured by the BBC, The Times, The Mirror, Channel 4 & Metro at the time of writing. Unsurprisingly, their traffic was going through the roof, and they needed us to come to the rescue again.
So far the traffic has peaked at over 20 megabits a second, more than enough to kill the average hosted site, but FlexiScale has handled it without a second thought.
I should also thank the people from West County FarmHouse Cheesemakers, for the amazing cheese they sent us this week as a thankyou for CheddarVision, everyone enjoyed it a lot.
Tony.

The Belton Red Leicester was particularly tasty!
