Camera Site Problems

Update (4:30 PM):

My web site is back up. Apparently the surge of traffic busted my web site. After some thick-headed work (I haven't slept much for three nights), I managed to get the darned thing running again...

Update (10:35 AM):


My web site is still getting hammered by traffic from the exposure on XETV; I've been unable to log in ever since. A clarification, prompted by a reader: if you were lucky enough to already have my cameras page loaded into your web browser, it will still be working – it only needs access to my web site to get that initial page loaded. Everything after that happens by direct access to the HPWREN camera site from your web browser.

If you cannot load my page, you can still get to the HPWREN cameras directly by going to this page. These images are the same as the ones on my site, except that they are not automatically adjusted to fit your monitor, and they are not overlaid with graphics to identify places (so it's a bit harder to orient yourself). It's still very good and current information, of course…

Original Post (9:47 AM):

Watching TV news a few minutes ago, I was surprised to see my web site being highlighted (on XETV 6, Fox News in San Diego) as a source of information. They put up the links to the site hosting the camera site, and showed current photos. That's kinda nice, but...ever since that moment, I've been unable to log into the site! I'm afraid that the publicity has driven the traffic through the roof, and completely overloaded that site. Perhaps it will ease up as people fail to connect to it, and it will come back to life. I sure hope so...
