I nearly chocked on my cornflakes while looking at blog stats yesterday morning to see several thousand page views in the morning. Looking at the referring URLs it seemed a link had been posted on Hacker News. I browse that site most days. It was on the front page at number five, anything on the front page is BIG. Later on it got posted to a couple of reddit.com subreddits. I was getting a lot of traffic, all quite unexpected.
