I am very sorry for the inconvenience, but eirikso.com went down when my post about how to make simple illustrations reached the front page of digg.com
I am currently communicating with the support team over at Dreamhost to find out what went wrong. I have been digged, boingboing’ed and flabbergasted before without any problems.
824 people digged the story before they had to remove it from the front page because my site was down. I had about 17 000 pageloads in a short while, even with my site down most of the time.
Having a blog that can’t handle links from sites that most bloggers only dream about is of course unacceptable. I’ll have to get som answers from my hosting comany…

congrats buddy 🙂
hope it really was the digg-flood and not the dns issues from yesterday.
your small tut indeed was interesting. guess most folks had no idea
how easy it is to come up with something cool on their own.
great that you posted about it and not kept it a secret 😉
way to go eirik!

Well, this is the original text from this post translated 10 times:

Since I’m a Dreamhost customer myself, could you be so kind and explain the outcome and answer from them about this downtime?
The excuse was a combination of problems at that exact time. My site should under normal conditions survive being digged. And I have reason to believe them. In January I was on both Digg, BoingBoing, I-am-bored and a bunch of other high trafficed sites at the same time without any problems.
Still, being digged today is something different from being digged in january. I am not completely at ease before I have seen my site survive Digg, Slashdot or something similar one more time…
If I sould be lucky enough to end up on one of those sites again and my site goes down I am off for another host.
I’ve gotten mixed responses and experiences from several friends I have that uses Dreamhost and are myself not 100% happy with their service. It’s very hard to complain when you compare their service and prices with other hosts, but the woolen responses some have gotten for weird incidents like the one you experienced have made me a bit suspicious. Let’s hope they have pulled their act together and don’t screw up again. Changing hosts is such a PITA after all.
