Today and this weekend, Jason will be creating/testing a series of perfomance benchmarks to measure the optomization tweaks made to our site. These tweaks are designed to allow our site to handle more traffic without crashing like it did when we got hit by digg. Jason has a laundry list of optomization tweaks to make, but wants to see what results each tweak will produce- hence the benchmarks. 

We plan to test the stability on Monday by sending out a newsletter to our 7,200 + producers. If all goes well, we will then continue to get the word out again.

It's been raining all day here in Los Angeles, which has made for a nice day to catch up on writing. I'm working on our press release, preparing a list of site priorities, and attending to various odds and ends.
