meltdown..., by runyaga on Mar 29, 2007 15:00:36 GMT 1, looks like POW's website is melting down... completely unresponsive ;-(
if its this bad *before* the print is released and with my experience last time with
shopping cart problems ADODB errors and the like.. I imagine this meltdown will be a slow and painful experience for everyone..
POW if your listening: get a faster connection, a few more servers and a clued-in consulting firm to help you guys out...
oh my.. i'm already getting internal errors and yes.. meltdown..

hahahaha. we are all doomed.. ;-(

meltdown..., by runyaga on Mar 29, 2007 15:06:37 GMT 1, even better, "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"
that will make the servers faster *grin*
now authentication boxes prompting me to login..
jeesh...
not to be a p*ick but you guys knew this was going to happen; moved from php/mysql to m$/sqlserver, you hired a consulting firm; drop another 40k GBP to get this resolved.
i'm up for a barter; banksys to unfsck the website..
.. evolution, 'Service Not Available' -- surprisingly fast serving the error message..

this is all speculation:
- They are probably running 1 or 2 iis servers in default configuration
other than what ever asp code their consulting firm threw into place.
- They arent running a caching server outside of their web server
- Being naive with their database
non speculation:
- They arent telling upstream cache servers to cache their images
oh oh "Add to Basket" - click the button - empty error page.. nice 
brown sepia signed banksy up...

meltdown..., by runyaga on Mar 29, 2007 15:45:06 GMT 1, 30min cookie timeout may be their only option. ..
cookies arent going to help..
the problem is the sheer volume of read/writes in the database..
thats what makes these problems so fun.. it requires a bit of creativity to fix them..
for instance how ticketmaster does it..
everyone clicks a button and the only thing you get a is a token; then you wait in line and individually one by one the tokens are processed..
shopping basket metaphor wont work with this high volume.. it *could* work.. just not a good metaphor.
- Your only allowing one print anyway.
- What are you going to do? Put a banksy in your cart and go shop for something else?
- No. Your going to get the print in your cart and check the fsck out!
- Right now you can think of a cashier with a boat load of people throwing money or trying to check out all at once
- That doesnt work in real life and its not going to work on POW w/ Banksy
- People need to queue up and wait in an orderly fashion
- Like we do in the real world and how ticketmaster and other high volume systems handle the load of purchasing 1000 tickets in < 2 minutes.
Oh btw.. what *will* happen. The website will be in this awful state.. and my cookie *will* expire in 30 minutes.. and it will drop my items from my basket..
this is going to be a mess.. and unfortunately.. it looks like work is calling ...
good luck guys!

Heart was going because I was late for work ;-) other than that I was quite pissed throughout the whole experience. This is the second time I've had a problem with POW like this. Once I had JD and 2 Bombers in my basket - fscked me and now Sepia Morons. Just not worth the time. There will always be people who want to pound the buttons -- but fsck that. I have less important things to do..
