Well, on Tuesday <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2008\/10\/28\/experiment-23-tubes.html\">it was posted on BoingBoing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This had the expected effect, with a tremendous surge in traffic in traffic of 4-5 Mb\/sec, with one spike of over 10 Mb\/sec. Strangely, despite all the hits, I only received something like $3 in ad revenue over the last day. When <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/random_stuff\/lightsticks_in_toilet\/\">Lightsticks In The Toilet<\/a> made <a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\">digg<\/a> the earnings were something like $30 the first day, and $12 the second. This surprised me a bit and showed that dental-related ads probably just don&#8217;t pay that much.<\/p>\n<p>That graph up top shows the spike of traffic observed. The server is currently on a burstable 1 Mb\/sec connection, billed 95th percentile. As this is figured on a monthly basis I&#8217;ve managed to stay under this limit, so this BoingBoinging won&#8217;t cost any extra. It&#8217;s nice to see that a bunch of people found the photos interesting, too. I had fun taking them, I just didn&#8217;t like the strong mint smell which was hanging wherever the bowl went.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A bit over a month ago I made a post entitled 23 Tubes 1 Bowl detailing my dispensing of 23 sample size tubes of toothpaste&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2008\/10\/30\/boingboinging\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">BoingBoinging<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nuxxnet","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=631"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":633,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/631\/revisions\/633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
