P.S. DB2 is just fantastic, I’m able to do things that MySQL can only dream of, and it still works fast, despite of the fact that I didn’t set up any indexes yet - except of primary keys in tables.

A distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) of unknown origin started Monday, 2006-03-20
…
Upstream providers reported traffic peaks of about 1.3 Gigabits per second on a single line. This was enough to overload our lines, causing communication problems between our border routers and the upstream providers, and thereby interrupting all services for a short period on 2006-03-20
…
We responded by adding more nameservers, some of them being hosted in external data centers with own DDoS protection. We reserved more bandwidth for Joker.com exlusively, and implemented automatic systems to react on certain incidents.
These measures seem to have helped, since the later attacks did not affect our systems as much as the first one. In the near future, we will do more to protect your domains and our business against such criminal activities.
We know Joker.com as a very reliable service for already 2 years of good work and recommend it highly.

Update. I’ll probably look into TiddlyWiki first - when I get to this feature at all.

]]>P.S. I understand that this move also means ideology change - things should be done with stored procedures, foreign keys, triggers and so on - so part of business logic is moving to DB. But actually this is exactly how it should be, IMHO.
Update. I’m seriously thinking about IBM’s DB2…
]]>Some statistics for Q3+Q4:
There were 9677 clicks to Amazon, with 21 items ordered through direct links, 106 items total - means 85 items were ordered by people already after they navigated out of direct-linked items. Strange, but better for me - Amazon keeps the affiliate cookie for some time.
That resulted in conversion value of 1.10% - I don’t know if that’s small or large - but I assume it’s near the average.
That also resulted in 92 total items shipped, Amazon’s revenue of $1,566.
Update. How could I forgot IMDb?
Right now you can’t do much except just give out your ratings to the movies, but I’m going to improve that and add sort by ratings, search by ratings and other things.
As well, ratings system will very soon be added to all my other projects.

It is much easier to work with AdSense, if you’re in UK - now I can transfer my payments directly to the bank account

P.S. From now on statistics is gathered by Google Analytics, I’m going to turn off AWStats soon.
If you think that I can post here more interesting data from Google Analytics results - tell me exactly where to look for it, and I’ll do it.

]]>P.S. I sent an email about this project to all my users - and they added about 2,000 movies within 2-3 days. Then it was shown on digg - and people added another 7,000 movies to the list. Now there are more than 10,000 movies listed…
