There is a highly amusing page at Paul Bourke’s Swinburn University home page. You see, Google added a new artistic logo in the form of fractals. When the logo was clicked, it linked to Paul’s page. The massive increase in traffic overloaded the server, and he had to reduce the size of his main web page to reduce the load. Paul suggests that it maybe a good idea if Google asks first before linking like this.

This in itself is funny, but what really adds to the fun is Slashdot adding an article, and the page being slashdotted. You’d think Slashdot would have more sense.

Anyway, just looking forward to his next page when he gets more traffic from Bloggers.
