Performance Anxiety

by Frank Paynter on December 27, 2006

I don’t know if it’s the host, the database, or some content on the blog, but the last few days I’ve had spotty results finding my way into the wonderful world of Listics.

Maybe this trace route information tells it…

Trace complete.

Why do they have to send me all around Robin Hood’s barn to get me to my domain? And who owns that node at number 17 and why is it timing out? Are others experiencing this problem?

(My question reminds me of the email administrator who send out the email to all his subscribers to tell them that the email system was down….)
