Well, it's the beginning of the month, and that means "time to read the web logs!" Let's start off with a handy infographic:

accesses per day

We served fifteen times as much traffic in April as we did in the previous month. January, February, and March were each around 2.4 million accesses; April was 37 million.

Gosh, what could have caused that.

It looks like the photos of The Event Which Shall Not Be Named were a huge hit in Japan and The Netherlands:

Also, we served 700,000  404 errors caused by people incrementing numbers on the images looking for a double-super-sekrit stash of extra pictures.

Normally the four top-ranking documents are the two RSS files, the top-level page, and the webcam slideshow image, in that order. In April, the top-level page was #6, and every other page in the top 50 was a part of that particular photo gallery.
