He was basically plugging the new Amazon S3 service, but I went up to him after the lecture had ended and asked him why all of the graphs and data were a couple of days behind on Alexa. He replied, "this is because we receive 300TB of statistical data per day and it takes a long time to process".<br /><br />...<br /><br />What?<br /><br />...<br /><br />Did I hear him say 300 <span style="font-weight: bold;">terabytes</span> of data per day?<br /><br />Bloody hell!<br /><br />No wonder why the graphs are a few days behind!<br /><br />That shut me up for the rest of the day...<span class="small"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 153);font-size:100%;" ><strong><br /></strong></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6691880844520123676.post-82839242750719490742007-04-26T21:52:00.000+01:002007-04-26T21:53:11.000+01:00NewsStill can't get the stupid news to appear on the homepage.
