I spoke with Alan Bellows from 'Damn Interesting'[0] on Reddit after his site hit the front page via a TIL post and he revealed a little about the traffic load.[1]

It was very interesting to see and was quite a lot of traffic for sure.

Bear in mind that the screenshot he posted is for concurrent visitors too.

I had no expectation of encountering my own name in this context. If there is a German word to describe the thing my neurons just did, I'll bet it has a lot of umlauts.

Ha! Sorry! I know the feeling too, there's a guy who keeps a mighty big interest in a website I run and I stumbled on his catalogue of its/my goings on.

Hopefully this doesn't reach that level of awkward and your info was really cool to see in that Reddit thread.

No apologies necessary and no awkwardness implied--it was merely a surprise. A bit like being far from home and hearing someone shout my name.

Good lord. That's a lot of traffic.
