Glastonbury screw-up

Glastonbury screw-up 04/09/2004 04:08 PM

I went last year, I went the year before, I'm pretty sure I went the year before that, but this year I'm staying home. The muppets running the online ordering system apparently decided that a couple of Windows 2000 servers could handle 130,000 ticket sales in 24 hours. They got hit by 2,000,000 hits in the first five minutes. Admitedly, that's going to be tough for anything to handle (maybe it's a job for Google's super-platform) but after last year's 23 hour sell out anyone could have told them this year was going to be a whole lot tougher.

This BBC article has plenty of stories that match my own. I tried persistently over the space of 12 hours, filled out the form multiple times, was repeatedly told the tickets were all sold out when I knew that they weren't and finally received a screen telling me I'd made it. The confirmation email never turned up. Bloody marvelous.

I just hope they sort out a sane way of distributing the tickets for next year.

Webl0g Festival in Iran

Webl0g Festival in Iran 06/15/2004 10:12 AM
Hossein Derakshan reports back from Iran's first Weblog Festival.

[Iranian Deputy I.T. Minister] Nassrollah Jahangard wished that every Iranian could have a blog one day and expressed the government's support for persian blogs which, in his mind, are defining the presence of Iran on the Net and make an identity for the Iranian community on the Internet. He also added that blogs are sort of cultureal heritage for Iran and they will make the future of it.

The latter, Sohrab Razeghi, said that blogs and the values they carry with themseves are the begining of a modern society in Iran. He said that the openness, subversiveness, and a sense of individualism which are visible among Iranian weblogs are completely new things in the society. he then rejected the idea of government support and said that they should leave the persian blogoshpere alone and let it go in whatever direction it wants.
