Hey everyone, I'm the creator of plastk.net and I figured I could answer some of your questions/comments.1) Video : Coming soon, I was on spring break when the site went on Digg.com and I wasn't exactly expecting to have my webserver rocked ;)2) I didn't use a projector because you can't get a resolution of 10240x3072 with a standard HD projector, if you tile projectors however... (check out an earlier post on plastk.net)3) We did actually rip off the plastic bezels (they were originally black dell monitors) and saved about 3/4" between screens.Glad you guys like the setup!
Woah, I just realized that this story hosted all the images on my site SuprFile. That would explain why our bandwidth usage jumped up by 9 megabits suddenly 5 days ago :)All the images are slightly below our no-bandwidth-limits threshold, meaning that they were able to consume a lot of bandwidth without bringing in any ad revenue to pay for the bandwidth. This is making me rethink the bandwidth limiting algorithm. I'm thinking of switching to some sort of time-based approach, like, say, 150MB per hour max, reset every hour. That would allow me to remove the 50KB exemption (which was intended for forum sigs and avatars) so that this situation could be avoided.Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that somebody used SuprFile and got exposure (and that we handled the millions of hits the images produced), but I need to pay the bandwidth bills :P
