Damn Interesting: A Busy Week Ahead

Written by Alan Bellows on 23 May 2006

We here at Damn Interesting are preparing to move the site to its new home on a dedicated server, which should help improve both the site’s performance and our hosting provider’s mood. Consequently we’ll be very busy preparing for this migration for the next week or so, and we may not have a shiny new article to publish on each of the intervening days. We’ll try, but no promises.

On days where we don’t quite have one ready, I’ll exhume one from the archives and try to pass it off as fresh.

First Post!

How is Hyperbolic Discounting a related article?

All this time and you don’t even have a dedicated server? Wow. A 10,000 Alexa traffic rank, too. And I’m sitting here with four servers for a single site and a 50,000 rank.

Congratulations, and good luck. It will be difficult to endure your absence, but I shall endeavor to persevere. ;-) And thanks, by the way. This site is one of the first places I go while drinking my morning coffee.

How amusing, I clicked ‘random article’ and got Random event generators predict future… maybe it’s true.

So does this mean no more DreamHost? Or are you simply getting a better deal from them?


#8 prryder 24 May 2006 at 01:02 pm

Brand new registrant. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your site, as well as the comments (mostly) from your members. Please keep up the great work. Best of luck with your new service.

I read most of the articles though(skipped over the ones that wern’t very interesting)…

And don’t you post four articles every five days or so?


#10 gorgeousplanet 24 May 2006 at 08:02 pm

hmmm… i wonder how many comments it will take before this topic also turns into a religious/political/philosophical/grammatical debate… =)


#11 Prince 25 May 2006 at 12:24 am

I hates Jesus, Bush and Aristotle. I hates them so badly much.

There, will that do?


#12 schuylercat 25 May 2006 at 01:37 pm

You hates Jesus? And Bush? well that’s fine your entitld to your apinion you communist. But aristoltle? You obviously don’t do too good in scholl, then, because he was a great man! I mean, he was the least FAMOUS of the beatles, but hey, jude, I mean what the hell? Jesus is just alright with me, but Aristotlte RULES!

By the wy: who is “Bush?” You mean them guys who did “Glycerine” and “Everything Zen” way back? They we’ren’t too bad…but they wernt no Aristolte, either.

Alan: you see what you’ve done? PLEASE hurry! I mean, the big-heart horse story was…um…darned interesting at least, but we’re dying out here! Everyone: “Go Alan, go Alan, go Alan…”

Wait, you left out the pie reference. Floj, where are you?


#15 Spike 26 May 2006 at 07:39 pm

Seriously, I love the articles on this site and I enjoy reading the comments, except when someone starts on an angry rant. Also, Weekend at Bernies is highly entertaining.


#16 rp2 28 May 2006 at 11:15 am

F’ing Canada!


#17 surfjay 29 May 2006 at 04:49 pm

Congratulations!

Damn interesting is just that, and sometimes an even stronger expletive might apply!

Good luck in your new home!

“Weebl, where are you when we need you!”

Does that keep you happy, then?

i hates them too.

I love Pie, Religion is fake, George Bush is a Dimwit (So is Little Johny Howard for that matter(i so hope he loses this election)) and all english teachers should go the way of the photo copyers (Red Dwarf Referance)
there that should make everyone happy (or unhappy:-)

ps; i know this is an old article but i have been on this site since about november 05 and have almost never made a comment so i am rereading every article and commenting as i see fit :-P


#22 psyOtic 20 November 2007 at 09:08 pm

BTW before abusing me for my post read othe comments on the article

Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to visit this site. I actually fit in this category much more than you can know.
