For the past while I could click on a comment or a diary, go brew a cup of coffee - sometimes I could have run to the store, bought coffee, came home and brewed it - come back to my computer and read articles from the Washington Times while waiting for Redstate. And my favorite was writing a detailed comment hitting publish and… well, you know.
Today! Wow!! A whole new world. 
Erick, thank you for the kind of leadership that runs us out of bandwidth and bogs down the hardware. And today, thanks for finding the new hardware and migrating Redstate. And Neil, I’m sure you had something to do with all this and if you didn’t, well there’s a pay cut in your immediate future.
Thanks again to all who had a hand in this morning and for the good and exciting things that I just “know” are coming.

Erick Erickson Monday, August 17th at 9:58AM EDT (link)And Steve and Henry too.
I did nothing.
Who will stand on either hand and keep this bridge with me?
Erick that's just a load of smelly stuff.
mbecker908 Monday, August 17th at 10:53AM EDT (link)Neil, etal may have done the work, but we out here in the sticks know that the reason we need faster servers, etc is because of the leadership you and the Directors bring to the site.
You have well earned a pat on the back. Enjoy it. If traffic ever drops off you’ll get the heat so enjoy the upside we’ll trust that very soon the current servers will crash from increased volume. And we’ll need RS4.0.
You’ve done well. Every orchestra needs a great conductor.

For those of you who struggle with what goes on, who see retreat and capitulation, and who feel like not just your political opponents, but those who hold dear all those things you hold as blasphemous — be cheerful. Be happy. Victory is already yours.
You must just have the courage to not get discouraged and have the will to fight on.” – Erick Erickson at RightOnline
Henry's still up
Neil Stevens Monday, August 17th at 10:55AM EDT (link)He’s been in the lead on this and been doing a great job.

It is so fast now if I even "think" the click, it is a done deal!
penguin2 Monday, August 17th at 10:07AM EDT (link)Thanks to all of you. And I have no idea why I thought Neil would get to have some rest last night…
Thanks for awesome.

Great job.
Oh, and how come MY diaries aren’t on the new Rec List?
That had to be tweaked
Neil Stevens Monday, August 17th at 10:56AM EDT (link)On beta we had to make the recs last longer for testing. We haven’t set that back yet. I hesitate to ask the guy who’s been up all night and all day

Wubbies World Thursday, August 20th at 11:47PM EDT (link)The web site is working beautifully!
I remember the bad old days of the mess before the election. We had to go through the desert before we got to the land of milk and honey. Lets see if we can max out the bandwidth with some more growth in readership.
A compliment and a testament of your fine work.
