I am sure that this would help people out no end thank you in advance

Highly likely that the ping will be the bang - and boom, we are off.

Yep, this I think. There wasn't anything to indicate the tipees etc going on sale before it happened.

It's quite amusing a certain way that the most widely used load balancers are manufactured by a company called F5.

How can you not understand this 

Load Balancer

Glossary

A load balancer is a device that acts as a reverse proxy and distributes network or application traffic across a number of 

servers. Load balancers are used to increase capacity (concurrent users) and reliability of applications. They improve the overall performance of applications by decreasing the burden on servers associated with managing and maintaining application and network sessions, as well as by performing application-specific tasks.

Load balancers are generally grouped into two categories: Layer 4 and Layer 7. Layer 4 load balancers act upon data found in network and transport layer protocols (IP, TCP, FTP, UDP). Layer 7 load balancers distribute requests based upon data found in application layer protocols such as HTTP.

Requests are received by both types of load balancers and they are distributed to a particular server based on a configured algorithm. Some industry standard algorithms are:

• Round robin
• Weighted round robin
• Least connections
• Least response time

Layer 7 load balancers can further distribute requests based on application specific data such as HTTP headers, cookies, or data within the application message itself, such as the value of a specific parameter.

Load balancers ensure reliability and availability by monitoring the "health" of applications and only sending requests to servers and applications that can respond in a timely manner.

Anyone seen any of the acts on the Dot to Dot lineup? Looking for reccommmendations...

From the pings I've been seeing SEE have one set of transactional servers that have "google translate" code embedded in the landing page and another set that haven't and they are being swapped in/out at random as apart from the tent/cv sales they're the only alerts I've seen for the last few weeks.

 

And Citrix Netscalers piss all over F5 load-balancers from a great height. We use them here and the flood control (holding customers back so they don't crash the site) is much better.

Parcels and Honeyblood are the only ones I have seen - both worth a listen IMHO

I'd say Sundara Karma, Amber Run, The Big Moon and Slow Readers Club are the standouts to me there.

A second vote for The Big Moon, their recent album was ace. Also Stereo Honey have one song on Spotify which is great, All We Are and The Night Cafe aren't half bad either.

Oh, and Ten Tonnes is okay and worth checking out. Fun fact, he's George Ezra's brother. (even though I don't like George Ezra)

[lobo]

Thanks @Nobody Interesting @Johnkhutch @Brownie30 I'll give them a listen this afternoon. Hopefully the weather holds up for a wander around the city listening to music all day.

I wonder if people actually do that. I wonder if they are successful but sworn to absolute secrecy.

I wouldn't be surprised to be honest. 

 

Go do it

What if there are no more pings, just BANG they're selling. That's a scary thought  

I don't like scary thoughts, it was better last year when it was pinging away all day and then suddenly there they were! At least everybody was on their toes. If there is no warning I'll probably be asleep!

 

*makes sure phone is turned up max volume!

No one else saw it, it would seem? 

About 9pm last night C4C went off, and there was a language selector button above the pink boxes on the main page. 

another guy ^ shortly after me said he had the same thing happen earlier in the day for him 

 

This was me, at 4pm yesterday - Damn load balancers!

I saw The Growlers at the Kazimier (RIP) in Liverpool in 2014. They were really, really good. On the same bill as Fat White Family and The Wytches (What a gig).

I nearly worked with All We Are as a roadie, but things didn't quite take over. They're good as well and so is Hannah Georgas.

[Penrhos]

Last week at this time there was about 200 on the thread - now only 80, just the die-hard's left.

If it doesn't happen by 1st June then I don't think it's going to happen.

I'm hoping they'll sneak them out during "Radio 1's big weekend bash" so it goes under the radar of a load of people.

So far i can't decide between the growlers and sundra karma for the last band of the day. Gutted they're clashing. Get the feeling the growlers will sound better live. 

Wanted to catch All we are but they also clash! 

Thanks for the recommendations!

We seem to have randomly refreshed onto a version that no one else's page checkers could see or surely everyone would have had alerts & seen a new button

Matt Maltese and Sorry are both great, and both have relatively big deals so are probably on the way up with a push. Both are very good live. The only song Sorry have online is a world away from their live set. Liked the Growlers' last album too.

I'm pretty sure I saw some performers do this in a documentary, in an attempt to get more money from him. He may have told them to f*** off so be prepared for that too.
